Our Broadmoor bungalow has a wall furnace and no ducts. Can we get AC?

Yes, and ductless is the usual route. A ductless heat pump puts heads in the rooms that need cooling and can take over the heating from the wall furnace too. We look at the panel and the wall space and quote it in writing.

Why does our Washington Manor ranch cool unevenly even with a newer condenser?

The ducts are the likely reason. Original runs in the crawlspace or attic were sized for heat and often leak, and a new condenser cannot push more air through them than they can carry. We measure static pressure and airflow before recommending any change.

What do we pay before you know what is wrong with our AC?

The $99 diagnostic, which is credited toward the repair if you approve it. After the diagnosis you get a written quote with parts and labor, and no work starts until you say yes.

AC Repair in San Leandro

AC Repair in San Leandro.

San Leandro runs some of the oldest heating equipment we work on. The bungalows in Estudillo and Broadmoor and the 1950s ranch tracts of Washington Manor and Floresta were built around floor furnaces, wall furnaces and hall-closet gas furnaces, and plenty are still on their first or second unit. Air conditioning, where a house has it, was added later and leans on that same furnace and its ducts.

The ducts decide more AC jobs here than the condenser does. A 1950s ranch in Washington Manor often keeps its original ductwork in the crawlspace or a shallow attic, undersized by modern standards and leaking into the framing. Cooling pushed through those ducts ices coils and leaves rooms warm. Our technician checks the ducts as part of the diagnosis, then quotes whichever side actually needs the work.

Common repairs we handle.

Leaky crawlspace ducts starving the far rooms. Original ducts under a Washington Manor or Floresta ranch can have open seams, crushed runs or boots pulled away from the floor, so cool air ends up in the crawlspace. We find the worst leaks, seal or reconnect what we can reach, and measure the difference at the registers.
Coil on a hall-closet furnace icing over. A hall-closet furnace with an AC coil on top often has a small return and a filter that clogs early in the season. Airflow drops and the coil ices. We check the return, the filter and the blower, then measure the charge once the coil has thawed.
Add-on condenser humming with its fan stopped. On a condenser added to an old furnace, a failed run capacitor leaves the outdoor fan still and the compressor humming. We meter the capacitor against its rating, fit the right value, and check the contactor points while the panel is open.
Deciding on one more part for an aging condenser. On equipment older than its owner, each repair is a judgment call. We tell you what failed, what it costs to fix, and what else on that unit is close to failing, so the choice about one more part is made with the full picture.
