Ramiro took over our family business in 2006, continuing the tradition his father started. We know Menlo Park homes inside and out, from the older properties downtown to the newer developments near Sharon Heights.

Next, we diagnose the issue properly. Our technicians carry advanced diagnostic tools and have the experience to pinpoint problems quickly. We don’t guess – we test, measure, and identify the real cause.
Then we explain what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix it. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after we’re done. When we quote you a price, that’s what you pay.
Finally, we fix it right the first time. Our trucks are stocked with quality parts for all major furnace brands. Most repairs are completed during the initial visit, so you’re not stuck waiting around or scrambling for temporary heating solutions.

We handle everything from minor tune-ups to major component replacements. Gas furnaces, electric systems, heat pumps – we work on them all with equal expertise.
Menlo Park’s Mediterranean climate creates unique challenges for heating systems. Your furnace sits unused for months during warmer seasons, then works overtime during those wet, cold winter months. We understand this cycle and focus on the problems that actually happen here.
Common issues we see include ignition system failures in older gas furnaces that struggle with moisture, blower motor problems from extended cold periods, and thermostat malfunctions from components that wear out from seasonal use patterns. We stock parts that commonly fail in Bay Area conditions, so most repairs happen the same day.
We also specialize in eco-friendly heating solutions – increasingly important as California moves toward cleaner energy standards. If your older furnace is due for replacement, we can help you transition to more efficient options that align with Menlo Park’s sustainability values while saving you money on energy bills.
Most furnace repairs in Menlo Park cost between $150 and $600, depending on what’s wrong and which parts need replacement. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement or filter changes typically run $150-$400.
More complex repairs, such as blower motor replacement or heat exchanger work, usually cost $400-$1,200 depending on the specific component and labor involved. Emergency service calls may include additional fees for after-hours or weekend responses, typically $75-$150 above standard rates.
We always provide upfront pricing before beginning any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect with no surprise charges. If a major repair approaches $1,500 or more, we’ll give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your situation.
We offer 24/7 emergency furnace repair service throughout Menlo Park and typically respond within 2-4 hours for urgent heating failures. For same-day service requests, we usually arrive within 4-6 hours depending on our current schedule and your location.
Most furnace repairs take between 30 minutes and 2 hours once we arrive and diagnose the problem. Simple issues like replacing a dirty filter, fixing a tripped breaker, or replacing a thermostat can be done quickly.
We keep our service vehicles fully stocked with common furnace parts, so most repairs can be completed during the initial visit without waiting for parts to arrive. If we do need to order a specific part, we’ll let you know how long it will take and what your options are in the meantime.
We service all major furnace brands commonly found in Menlo Park homes, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, American Standard, Bryant, York, and Rheem. We also work on newer high-efficiency models and older systems that are still running.
Our technicians are trained on both gas and electric furnaces, as well as heat pump systems. We carry common parts for most brands in our trucks, which means we can usually complete repairs the same day without waiting for parts to be delivered.
If you have a less common brand or a very old system, we can still help. We’ll assess the situation and let you know if parts are available and whether the repair makes financial sense compared to replacement. Our 40 years in the business means we’ve worked on just about every heating system you’ll find in the Bay Area.
We recommend annual furnace maintenance in Menlo Park, ideally scheduled in early fall before you need heat regularly. This timing allows us to catch and fix small problems before they become bigger issues during winter when you’re relying on your system daily.
Menlo Park’s climate means your furnace sits unused for months during the warmer season. Annual service includes cleaning components that may have collected dust, checking electrical connections, testing safety systems, and ensuring proper airflow through your ductwork.
Regular maintenance typically extends your furnace’s lifespan, improves energy efficiency, and prevents unexpected breakdowns. Most homeowners save money long-term through lower energy bills and fewer emergency repairs. Plus, we offer 15% discounts for seniors and military members on all our services.
In Menlo Park’s climate, we frequently see issues with ignition systems, especially in older gas furnaces that struggle with moisture during wet winter months. The combination of seasonal use patterns and Bay Area humidity creates specific challenges.
Blower motor problems are also common, particularly in homes where the furnace works overtime during extended cold periods. Thermostat malfunctions rank high on our service calls, often caused by wiring issues in older homes or calibration problems with newer digital units.
We also regularly address clogged air filters and ductwork problems that reduce efficiency and cause uneven heating throughout the home. Heat exchanger cracks and safety sensor failures require immediate attention and are more common in furnaces over 15 years old. These issues can pose safety risks, which is why we recommend annual inspections for older systems.
Yes, we provide emergency furnace repair services in Menlo Park 24/7. We understand that heating problems don’t wait for convenient times, especially during cold snaps or when you have guests staying over.
Our technicians understand that a broken furnace can’t wait until regular business hours, especially during cold weather. We typically respond within 2-4 hours for urgent heating failures and keep our service vehicles fully stocked with common parts.
