Tempstar Heat Pump, AC & Furnace Repair · East Palo Alto, CA

East Palo Alto runs denser and more rental-heavy than the Peninsula cities around it, and the Tempstar systems I find here reflect that. A lot of the duplexes and small apartment buildings carry furnace and AC equipment that a property owner installed years ago and has serviced only when something actually breaks, not on a maintenance schedule. That deferred pattern changes what fails first compared to an owner-occupied home where someone notices a system running rough before it quits outright.

On rental properties, a furnace that's gone years without anyone touching it usually fails at the igniter and the flame sensor close together, since both wear on roughly the same schedule and nobody's been around to catch either one early. On the cooling side, I see more contactor pitting and capacitor failure than I'd expect on a system this age, because a compressor that's been short-cycling on a bad capacitor for months without anyone reporting it puts real wear on the contacts before the call ever comes in. Tempstar's ICP-platform boards log that history, so I read it before I start pulling parts.

ADRIUM Service Solutions is owner-operated out of San Ramon, and we keep a technician on the Peninsula so East Palo Alto gets the same response as Palo Alto and Menlo Park, not a lower priority because it's a smaller call. For landlords managing a repair remotely, we give a written quote before any work starts so you can approve it without being on site. The diagnostic is $99 and comes off the invoice if the repair gets booked, we carry EPA Section 608 Universal certification and CSLB license 1136642, and we work seven days a week.
