Our AC struggled all May. Should we get it checked before July?

Yes. A system that labors in mild weather usually has a weak capacitor, a dirty coil or low charge, and each gets worse under July heat. We find which one before it stops altogether.

Our Almond Grove house has an old closet furnace with AC. Is it worth repairing?

It depends on the part. Capacitors, contactors and blower parts are sensible repairs. A failed compressor on equipment from the eighties is where replacing it with a heat pump starts to make sense, and we price both.

Who handles refrigerant work on our Monte Sereno system?

That is our job, done under ADRIUM's EPA 608 Universal certification. Leaks are found with nitrogen and an electronic detector and repaired, and the charge is weighed in rather than guessed. CSLB #1136642.

AC Repair in Los Gatos

AC Repair in Los Gatos.

Los Gatos splits into two kinds of cooling work across 95030, 95032 and 95033. The hill neighborhoods and Monte Sereno run large multi-zone systems, often two condensers with long refrigerant runs feeding additions from the early-2000s remodel wave. Down in the flats around Blossom Hill and downtown, the stock is older: single-stage furnaces in tight closets and ducts untouched since the eighties.

Summer load here is real, and the canyon sides hold heat into the evening, so systems keep running after sundown. A condenser that struggles in May is warning you about July. A $99 diagnostic, credited toward the repair, finds the failed part, and the written quote follows before any work.

Common repairs we handle.

Second condenser serving a hillside addition. When the addition's system quits and the main house still cools, the fault is on that condenser, its line set or its controls. We check each one, including the charge against the long run, and quote only the part that failed.
Closet furnace with no room to breathe. A single-stage furnace in a tight closet can starve for return air, which cuts airflow over the cooling coil. We measure static pressure and check the filter, the door grille and the return path.
Contactor burned from long evening run cycles. Long cycles in the evening heat wear contactor points and capacitors. Once the contactor stops pulling in, the condenser sits dead while the indoor fan runs. We meter both parts, replace what failed, and confirm the amp draw.
Eighties ductwork leaking in the flats. Ducts untouched since the eighties have loose joints and brittle tape, and cooled air escapes into the attic or crawlspace. We check the runs we can reach and quote sealing or section replacement.
