Professional HVAC Service for Palo Alto Homes
Expert heating and cooling for Eichlers, Craftsmans, and historic properties. Same-day repairs, energy-efficient installations, and smart-home integration from licensed technicians who understand Palo Alto's unique architectural challenges.
HVAC Solutions Built for Palo Alto's Diverse Housing Stock
Palo Alto's signature mid-century Eichlers and classic Craftsman homes demand specialized HVAC approaches. We handle radiant slab retrofits, tight crawlspace installations, and discreet condenser placement that respects neighborhood character—whether you need air conditioner repair or a complete system installation.
Air Conditioner Repair
Fast AC repair service to restore your cooling when summer heat spikes push older systems to their limit. We diagnose and repair all makes and models, including units in tight Eichler attics and constrained Professorville crawlspaces where access matters.
Furnace Repair
Emergency furnace repair keeps your home warm during winter cold snaps when radiant slab systems struggle. Our EPA Section 608-certified technicians service gas, electric, and hybrid systems in homes across Downtown, Old Palo Alto, and College Terrace.
Air Conditioner Installation
Replace aging AC units with properly sized, high-efficiency systems that fit your home's unique layout. From Eichler retrofits to Craftsman homes, we route equipment discreetly to respect neighborhood character and minimize roof or exterior visibility.
Complete HVAC System Installation
Install new heating and cooling systems engineered for Palo Alto's Mediterranean climate and your home's specific construction. Proper sizing, balanced return air design, and smart thermostat integration ensure long-term efficiency and comfort without costly upgrades later.
Indoor Air Quality & Filtration
Reduce dust and allergens with correctly sized return air grilles, advanced filtration, and air duct cleaning. Undersized returns starve your system and reduce capacity—we ensure each bedroom has proper air circulation to improve indoor air quality.
Preventive HVAC Maintenance
Seasonal tune-ups extend equipment life, maintain warranty compliance, and catch minor issues before they become expensive repairs. Regular maintenance is especially valuable for heat pump owners, who can avoid costly emergency heat operation during cold weather.
Air Duct Cleaning
Professional duct cleaning removes years of accumulated dust, debris, and allergens from your HVAC system. Cleaner ducts improve airflow efficiency and indoor air quality, particularly important in older Palo Alto homes where original ductwork may harbor buildup.
Heat Pump Installation & Service
Install efficient heat pump systems for year-round heating and cooling in one unit, ideal for Palo Alto's mild winters and moderate summers. If your system shows constant 'EM HEAT' warnings, our technicians diagnose why—emergency heat costs 2–3 times more to run.
Why Palo Alto Homeowners Choose HVAC of Palo Alto
We understand Palo Alto's climate swings—summer heat spikes that stress older cooling systems, mild winters where heat pumps outperform furnaces, and coastal winds affecting outdoor unit placement. Our technicians diagnose root causes, not symptoms, saving you money on repairs and energy bills.

Real Projects in Palo Alto Neighborhoods
From emergency AC repairs during offshore wind heat events to Lennox and Trane system installations in Professorville homes, we've completed hundreds of projects across Downtown, Old Palo Alto, Barron Park, and beyond—many involving creative duct routing and low-impact exterior placement.
Palo Alto Homeowners Trust Our Experience
Our technician diagnosed a failing compressor versus a refrigerant leak—saved us thousands on unnecessary replacement. They explained the whole system and walked us through energy-efficient upgrade options for our Eichler.
AC died during a 95-degree spike. They arrived same day, found a duct leak that had been costing us 20% in wasted cooling, sealed everything properly, and had the system running efficiently by evening.
We have a 1958 Craftsman with knob-and-tube wiring and a crawlspace the size of a closet. They figured out how to install a new furnace without tearing into the walls or violating our neighborhood conservation guidelines.
