Do you repair all heat pump brands in Castro Valley?

As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, we specialize in Carrier equipment but our technicians are trained to service any brand. We stock common parts for major manufacturers and source specialty components for older or less common systems. Whether you have a ducted central heat pump or ductless mini-split serving your Castro Valley home, we can help.

Should I repair or replace my heat pump in Castro Valley?

The repair vs. replace decision for Castro Valley heat pumps depends on age, repair cost, efficiency, and refrigerant type. Bay Area Climate Control applies the "$5,000 rule": multiply repair cost by system age. If it exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually smarter. Heat pumps over 12-15 years old with major component failures (compressor, coil) are often better replaced, especially systems using outdated R-22 refrigerant. Modern heat pumps offer superior efficiency, rebate eligibility, and use environmentally-friendly R-410A refrigerant. Our Castro Valley technicians provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation.

What are common heat pump problems in Castro Valley?

Common heat pump issues in Castro Valley include refrigerant leaks, reversing valve malfunctions, frozen coils, failed capacitors, defrost control problems, auxiliary heat issues, and compressor failures. Heat pumps work year-round in Castro Valley, providing cooling in summer and heating in winter, which means more wear than single-function systems. Regular maintenance prevents many problems. Bay Area Climate Control technicians quickly diagnose heat pump issues and provide reliable repairs to restore heating and cooling to your Castro Valley home.
