Anyone who lives in San Ramon understands that a heating system can be just as valuable as an air conditioning unit–especially at night. Nighttime winds can get chilly, and a powerful heating system is going to be the most powerful ally to keep your home comfortable and cozy.
But what are the ins and outs of heating in our unique climate? And what should homeowners consider when they purchase a heating system or invest in heating repairs?
Heating systems need to work reliably and efficiently. This starts with customers choosing the most high-efficiency and powerful heating system they can, while also allowing a licensed HVAC technician to install it, repair it, maintain it, and eventually replace it when its lifespan is up.
Our team specializes in the installation and maintenance of high-efficiency heating systems that use minimal fuel or energy to keep your home comfortable. Lower your carbon footprint and stay cozy with the help of our team.
Our Family of Heating Systems
We offer a very wide selection of heating systems for customers of every budget and situation. Many homes in our neighborhoods come in different shapes, sizes, and have various types of access to fuels and electricity. In order to provide effective heating solutions to our customers, we need to offer systems that work.
Let’s go through each heating system and discuss why it might be the perfect unit for your home and budget.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps represent the heating and cooling solution of the future. These systems include similar technology that operates from air conditioners, with the added ability to heat a home as well as cool it by running in reverse.
Simply put–heat pumps move heat from one location to another. They can move heat out of your home to cool it, or move heat inside your home to heat it up. And, luckily for our customers, this process is 300% more efficient than conventional heating that burns fuel or uses electrical resistance.
A heat pump uses electricity throughout the entire year to keep your home comfortable, and they’re an excellent choice for customers replacing both a heating and a cooling system.

Furnaces
Furnaces are some of the most trusted and reliable heating systems on the market. They work by burning gas and releasing heat. Old furnaces such as wood- and oil-burning systems have very poor efficiency levels and often create too many contaminants from the burning process to be very effective.
The furnaces we provide are exceptionally good at keeping your house warm and cozy without breaking the bank or getting too smoky. These systems rely on either natural gas or electricity to create heat and make spaces warm. Depending on the size of your home, you’ll want the furnace to be specifically large enough to heat every room within the envelope of your house to fully take advantage of the high efficiency levels and power of the unit.
- Gas furnaces cleanly burn natural gas to create heat that’s sufficient on the coldest nights of the year. With AFUE ratings of 90+, these powerhouses can be extremely efficient and a great choice for your home.
- Electric furnaces work through a coil that heats up, releasing heat as a result of electrical resistance. This process is powerful, efficient, and electric furnaces are some of the most affordable units on the market.
Our team can help you select not just the best furnace for your budget, but the right furnace that fits your home preferences and needs.

Ductless Heaters
Ductless heating systems are heat pumps that work without the use of ductwork. This is a great choice for homeowners with small homes, unconventional living spaces, and even finished basements or additions to their homes that require separate heating and cooling.
Since ductless systems are heat pumps, these units can work throughout the entire year. And due to the fact that they don’t rely on ductwork, they never leak treated air into places you can’t feel it, making them more efficient and eco-friendly than any other HVAC system on the market.
Ductless are excellent investments for homeowners with a higher budget but an interest in long-term savings. These systems are also perfect for heating an attic or a room that is adjacent to your home without increasing the burden on your central heating system.

Thermostats
We also provide new thermostat installations that can match perfectly with a 21st century heating or cooling system. Old thermostats don’t have the rapid response and the reliability to access your HVAC system in the timeframe that homeowners need it to. Whether it’s due to old age or simply poor programming, anything less than a newer digital thermostat from the last decade should be replaced with something more responsive.
Smart and programmable thermostats can automatically adjust temperatures in your home while you sleep to lower your utility bills while you don’t notice a change.
Wi-Fi thermostats can also be operated by your smartphone, allowing you to have complete control over your home comfort when you’re on vacation or stuck in traffic coming home from work.

Zone Control Systems
Have you ever wondered why certain rooms in your home are drafty and more uncomfortable than others? This is what we call cold spots, and they can be a pain to deal with when you’ve got a centralized heating system. Luckily, our zone control systems are specifically designed to deal with these issues.
Zone control technology is basically made up of a series of dampers that we install in your ductwork. These change the pressure and direction of your HVAC slightly but enough to warm certain areas more when they need it. This alleviates the problem completely and can make your home feel entirely comfortable from the front door to the closet.

Generators
When the power goes out or a storm rolls in, it pays to feel more secure with a generator. Our powerful generators are more robust and reliable than standard portable generator systems. Work with our team to gain access to a powerful automatic standby generator that specifically generates power when it detects a fluctuation in your home’s energy grid. Then, it can provide enough power to run lights, refrigerators, HVAC systems, air quality systems, and more.

Don’t worry, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing heating system issues in unique and unconventional situations. We’re problem solvers, and diagnosing your heating system then fixing it is our number one priority.
Remember, Regular Heating System Maintenance Is Important
What good is a brand-new heating system without a packaged maintenance deal to go along with it? Maintenance is an extremely valuable service where we provide a tune-up, cleaning, inspection, and more on a yearly basis.
This can help you avoid problems from popping up, as well as give you a breakdown of your system’s condition, its efficiency, and its performance as it ages. The more you know and the more you allow our technicians to clean and maintain the unit, the less likely it is to seriously degrade over time.
What To Do When It’s Time to Replace Your Heating System
Replacement is never a fun thing to consider, but it’s absolutely necessary when your heating system reaches a certain point in its lifespan.
Forced-air heating units such as heat pumps and furnaces are never designed to last more than 10-15 years. Beyond this point, components can start to break down and you’ll begin frequently calling for repairs. It’s simply more cost-effective to invest in replacement with our team when that time comes.
Don’t worry, we’ll guide you every step of the way. Our team specializes in replacements that are affordable and a step up from your old unit. We consider these upgrades as opposed to simply replacements.
