Golden State Duct Testing | Licensed HVAC Repair in Oakland, CA

Our energy audit assesses your entire HVAC system's performance. While inspecting, we can identify if restricted airflow from dirty ducts or filters is overworking your AC unit, a common cause of coil fouling. The audit pinpoints these inefficiencies, allowing us to recommend targeted cleaning and maintenance to prevent future buildup and restore cooling efficiency.

Absolutely. A key part of our audit is evaluating system compatibility and control. We check if your smart thermostat is properly configured for your vintage HVAC equipment and wiring. We often find calibration errors or compatibility issues that cause short-cycling or temperature swings, and we provide expert adjustments or replacement guidance to ensure it works correctly.

The biggest benefit is a holistic view of your home's efficiency. Instead of just fixing a single symptom like a malfunctioning thermostat, the audit reveals interconnected problems—like duct leaks worsening coil issues. This gives you a prioritized plan to improve overall comfort, lower Pacific Gas & Electric bills, and extend the life of your HVAC system, which is crucial for our local climate.
