How long is the drive from San Ramon to Palo Alto?

From San Ramon we cross the Dumbarton or run 680 to 880, so Palo Alto is usually 40 to 55 minutes depending on bridge traffic. We also cover Atherton, Los Altos Hills, and Saratoga, so we are on the Peninsula regularly.

I have an Eichler with radiant heat and no attic. Can Goodman add cooling?

Yes. On Palo Alto Eichlers we put in Goodman ductless mini-splits or high-wall heads because there is no attic for ducts. It adds cooling and can also carry the heating load if you want to move off the old radiant gas system.

Palo Alto wants electrification. Does Goodman make a good heat pump for that?

It does for this mild climate. A Goodman heat pump gives you an affordable all-electric system that rarely needs backup heat here. The install, especially the line routing on a flat-roof home, is what determines how well it runs.

Goodman in Palo Alto

Goodman heating and cooling in Palo Alto.

Palo Alto runs from old Professorville Craftsman and Spanish homes to the famous flat-roof Eichlers in the south part of town near Greenmeadow and Fairmeadow. The Eichlers are the defining challenge here. They have radiant slab heat, flat roofs, and no attic, so adding cooling means a ductless Goodman or a high-wall system, not a conventional split with attic ducts.

The bay keeps Palo Alto mild, and the city pushes hard on electrification, so we see Goodman heat pumps put in as the all-electric choice to replace gas furnaces and old wall heaters. The equipment fits the climate well. The work that matters is routing the line set cleanly on an Eichler with no attic and keeping the flat-roof penetrations watertight.

ADRIUM serves Palo Alto through Bay Area HVAC Service. EPA Section 608 Universal certified, CSLB #1136642. We waive the $75 diagnostic with the repair, quote in writing, and run 7 days.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Goodman mini-split line-set leaks on Eichler flat roofs. On Palo Alto Eichlers the Goodman line set runs across the flat roof with little protection, and the flare joints or a sun-baked section start to leak refrigerant. Cooling fades slowly. We pressure test, find the leak, repair the joint, and recharge to weight.
Heat pump losing capacity from a low charge. Goodman heat pumps put in to replace gas heat sometimes get charged short, and in heating mode you feel weak warm air. We weigh the charge against the nameplate and verify subcooling so the heat pump delivers full output.
Condensate handling on attic-less Eichler installs. With no attic, the indoor unit and its drain sit in living space, so a clogged condensate line on a Goodman air handler shows up as water on the floor fast. We clear the line, add a proper trap and float switch, and test it.
