HVAC Repair San Francisco CA | Call Building Efficiency

Uneven cooling in San Francisco's multi-story or expansive homes is often due to outdated ductwork or an improperly sized HVAC system. We begin with a comprehensive building energy audit to identify air leaks, insulation gaps, and pressure imbalances. Using Manual J load calculations, we can correctly size and design a new heat pump system to ensure balanced airflow. We also address dirty evaporator coils through our maintenance services and may recommend supplemental air sealing or duct modifications to create consistent comfort room-to-room, all while ensuring compliance with local energy standards.

Our energy audit is a detailed, whole-home assessment conducted by our Lead Building Analyst, David Hamburger, who has completed over 150 audits to BPI standards. We use specialized equipment like blower doors and infrared cameras to measure air leakage, assess insulation levels, and evaluate your HVAC system's performance. The audit provides a clear roadmap for improvements—such as insulation upgrades or heat pump installation—prioritized for maximum energy savings and comfort. We also guide you through available local rebates and programs like Energy Upgrade California to help make your upgrades more affordable.

Heat pumps are an efficient all-in-one solution perfectly suited to the Bay Area's mild climate. They provide both heating and cooling by moving heat rather than generating it, which can significantly reduce your energy use compared to traditional furnaces and air conditioners. As specialists in home electrification, we design and install heat pump systems using precise calculations (Manual J, S, D) to ensure optimal performance. This upgrade not only improves home comfort but also aligns with local sustainability goals and can qualify for utility rebate programs we help you navigate.
