How quickly can you repair my heat pump in San Bruno?

Since heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, failures impact your San Bruno home's comfort year-round. Our technicians carry common heat pump parts in their service vehicles to complete most repairs on the first visit. For complex repairs requiring specialty parts, we'll expedite delivery and schedule your repair as quickly as possible to restore comfort to your San Bruno home.

Do you repair all heat pump brands in San Bruno?

Yes! Bay Area Climate Control repairs all heat pump makes and models serving San Bruno, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Bryant, Rheem, Mitsubishi, Daikin, York, and others. 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 San Bruno home, we can help.

Should I repair or replace my heat pump in San Bruno?

The repair vs. replace decision for San Bruno 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12-15 years old with major component failures (compressor, coil) are often better replaced, especially systems using outdated R-22 refrigerant.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 San Bruno technicians provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation.

What are common heat pump problems in San Bruno?

Common heat pump issues in San Bruno 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 San Bruno, 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 San Bruno home. We also offer preventive maintenance to help avoid unexpected breakdowns.
