How long is the drive to Castro Valley from San Ramon

It is about 25 to 35 minutes from our San Ramon base down 580. We route Castro Valley with Hayward, San Leandro, and Dublin calls, so it is an easy one to schedule, often same or next day.

My furnace is from the 70s, is it worth repairing

Often yes. York parts are easy to source and these older units are well built, so a flame sensor or ignitor repair is usually cheaper than replacing. I will tell you straight if the math says replace instead.

Is the diagnostic charged separately

It is $99 and credited toward the repair. You get a written quote before any work begins.

York in Castro Valley

York heating and cooling in Castro Valley.

Castro Valley sits in the hills between the bay and the inland heat, so it gets warm summers and cool winters without the extremes of the deep inland towns. A lot of the homes are 60s and 70s ranches with the original ducting and a York furnace in the garage or a hall closet. These run reliably for years, which is exactly why a worn flame sensor or ignitor catches people by surprise.

Up the canyon and toward the newer developments the systems are more current, but the bread-and-butter call here is an aging York furnace that needs a common part. York is mid-market and the parts are easy to get, so most of these jobs involve parts we usually stock and I stock the usual pieces on the van.

HVAC runs through Bay Area HVAC Service, our division. EPA 608 Universal certified, CSLB #1136642, seven days. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair and every quote is in writing first.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Flame sensor lights then drops out. The classic Castro Valley call on an older York furnace. The burner lights, runs a few seconds, then shuts off because the oxidized sensor cannot prove flame. I clean or replace it and check the flame current so it holds.
Hot surface ignitor cracked. Decades of cycling make the York ignitor brittle until it cracks and stops glowing, so the furnace will not light. I carry the matching ignitor for the common York models, usually a common repair with a part we usually stock.
Blower not starting on the control board. On older York furnaces the board relay that runs the blower can fail, so the burner lights but no warm air moves. I test the board and the limit switch first before recommending a replacement.
