What HVAC problems are most common in San Rafael?
In San Rafael, the most common issues are hillside heat, varied microclimates, and aging systems. Seasonal demand tends to be moderate to high cooling. A proper visit checks airflow, ducts, electrical components, and refrigerant or combustion performance before recommending parts.
Why won't my AC or furnace turn on?
No-cooling and no-heat calls usually trace back to a tripped breaker or safety switch, a clogged filter, a failed capacitor, a bad ignitor, or low refrigerant - not always a full system failure. A proper diagnostic checks the electrical, airflow, and charge or ignition before quoting parts. We cover San Rafael ZIP 94901, 94903, 94912, and 94913.
