Our Almaden Valley AC is original to the late-2000s build. Should we keep repairing it?

Often yes, for a capacitor, contactor or fan motor. A failed compressor or a leaking coil at close to 20 years changes the math. We quote the repair and a replacement figure side by side and let you decide.

Our Willow Glen remodel added AC, but the back rooms never cool. Why?

Usually airflow. Ducts added to an older house often take long, tight routes, and the rooms at the ends of those runs get little air. We measure airflow at the registers, look for crushed or disconnected ducts, and check the charge before suggesting bigger changes.

Do you cover Evergreen and the 95129 side as well as Almaden Valley?

Yes. We take AC calls in 95120, 95124, 95125, 95129 and 95135. Send the model number from the outdoor unit when you book, and our technician can bring the likely parts. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification, which covers the refrigerant side of the repair.

AC Repair in San Jose

AC Repair in San Jose.

San Jose is too big to describe as one kind of house, so we work it neighborhood by neighborhood. Almaden Valley in 95120 runs a lot of late-2000s custom builds, and the cooling that went in with them is now close to 20 years old. That is the age when coils start losing charge at old joints, condenser fan motors wear out and control boards turn unreliable. Where a custom home runs more than one system, we check each one on its own.

Willow Glen in 95125 and Cambrian in 95124 are mostly Craftsman and ranch houses remodeled from the 2010s onward, so the cooling may be newer than the house around it. The 95129 pocket near Cupertino runs recent rebuilds, and Evergreen in 95135 is steady mid-luxury housing. Whatever the address, our technician diagnoses first, and the $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair you approve.

Common repairs we handle.

Almaden Valley condenser close to 20 years old. Equipment installed with a late-2000s custom build is reaching the age where braze joints weep and compressors draw high amps. We measure the charge, go over the joints with an electronic detector, and give you repair and replacement figures before you commit.
Remodel cooling squeezed into a Willow Glen Craftsman. When cooling was added during a remodel, the ducts and line set often run through tight spaces the original house never planned for. A crushed duct or a kinked line cuts capacity. We trace the runs we can reach and check the temperature at each register.
Thermostat wiring disturbed by a remodel. Remodels move walls, and thermostat wires get spliced, pinched or left without a common wire. A smart thermostat that keeps rebooting or loses the system is often a wiring fault rather than a bad unit. We meter the low-voltage circuit and repair the wiring before replacing controls.
Frozen evaporator on a Cambrian ranch system. Ice on the indoor coil comes from low airflow or low charge. On a ranch house, a clogged return filter or a failing blower capacitor is the first thing we test. We let the coil thaw, fix the cause, and check superheat before closing up.
