I'm a tenant, not the owner, can you still come out

Yes, I work with tenants directly and with property managers or owners. I'll give a clear diagnosis and written price either way, and I'm glad to explain what's wrong so you can pass it along if the landlord needs the details.

Is it worth fixing an old York furnace or should the owner just replace it

Depends what's actually broken. York parts like sensors, ignitors, and capacitors are affordable and I stock the common ones, so a lot of what looks like a big problem is a small, worthwhile repair. I'll tell you honestly if the unit's at the end of its road instead of pushing a replacement.

How quickly can someone get out to East Palo Alto

We have a technician based on the Peninsula in San Mateo County who covers this area along with Palo Alto and Menlo Park, so it's a local response rather than a cross-county drive. We don't promise same-day, but call and I'll give you an honest window.

York in East Palo Alto

York in East Palo Alto kitchens.

East Palo Alto is mostly dense rental housing and working-family homes, and a lot of the York furnaces I find here are older units that landlords have kept running with patch repairs rather than full replacements. That's not a knock on the equipment. York parts are affordable and available, so keeping an older furnace alive with the right repair is often the smart call for a rental property or a family on a budget.

Because so much of the housing stock here is rented, I deal with both tenants calling directly and property managers coordinating the visit. Either way I give a straight diagnosis and a written price before starting, so there's no confusion about what's being approved.

This is handled through Bay Area HVAC Service, our HVAC arm. EPA 608 Universal certified, CSLB #1136642, written quotes, seven days a week. The $99 diagnostic comes off the bill if you go ahead with the repair.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Flame sensor failure on older rental-unit furnaces. A lot of East Palo Alto's rental housing runs York furnaces that are original or close to it, and the flame sensor is usually the first thing to go after years of cycles. I clean or replace the sensor and confirm the flame current holds, which is often a same-visit fix that keeps the unit going without a bigger expense.
Ignitor replacement to avoid a bigger bill later. When a hot surface ignitor cracks, the furnace simply won't light, and tenants sometimes go without heat for days before anyone calls it in. I keep common York ignitors stocked so this is usually resolved in one visit instead of turning into an emergency call.
Capacitor and contactor wear from steady use. Furnaces and condensers that run hard year after year in occupied rentals wear through capacitors and contactors faster than a lightly used system. I test both and replace whichever has drifted out of spec, which is usually a lower-cost fix than people expect.
