How long is the drive from San Ramon to Oakland?

From San Ramon we run 24 over the hill or 680 to 24, so most of Oakland is 30 to 45 minutes depending on whether you are in the flats or the hills. We also cover Piedmont and Berkeley right next door.

Can Goodman replace my old Oakland wall or floor furnace?

Yes. In a lot of older Oakland homes with no ducts we put in a Goodman ductless mini-split, which gives you efficient heat and adds cooling the old wall furnace never had.

Why does my Goodman cool fine in the flats but a friend's struggles in the hills?

The hills run hotter and the line sets are longer and steeper, so the charge has to be exact. A flatland install is more forgiving. Same brand, different install demands. We charge to weight either way.

Goodman in Oakland

Goodman heating and cooling in Oakland.

Oakland has one of the widest ranges of housing in the Bay Area. You have old Victorian and Craftsman homes in the flats and West Oakland, dense 1920s bungalows, mid-century homes, and the hillside houses up in Montclair and the Oakland Hills. Many of the older homes never had central air and a lot still run on wall or floor furnaces, so Goodman often comes in as a first-time central or ductless install.

Climate splits the city. The flats stay bay-cooled and mild, while the hills bake in the afternoon and need real cooling. We see Goodman heat pumps and split systems put in across both, usually because the homeowner wanted an affordable upgrade from an old gravity furnace. They work, but a hillside install with a long line set has to be done right or it underperforms.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Long line-set charge problems on Montclair hillside Goodman systems. Hillside homes in Montclair force long, climbing refrigerant runs, and a Goodman heat pump that was charged by gauge instead of by weight comes up short. Weak cooling on hot afternoons is the result. We weigh in the correct charge for the line length.
Wall furnace to Goodman ductless transition issues. When an old Oakland flat swaps a wall furnace for a Goodman mini-split, a sloppy install leaves the indoor head dripping or short cycling. We check the slope of the drain line and the charge so the head heats and cools steady.
Goodman furnace pressure switch stuck from a blocked flue. In the older lowland homes the flue or intake gets restricted and the Goodman pressure switch will not close, so the furnace locks out with no heat. We find the blockage, clear it, and confirm the switch closes on a clean draft.
