• Central Air Conditioning Systems: These systems provide efficient cooling for your entire home, ensuring consistent comfort during the hot summers.
• Ductless Mini-Splits: Ideal for homes without ductwork, these systems offer flexible installation options and precise temperature control for individual rooms.

• High-Efficiency Furnaces: We install furnaces that provide reliable and effective heating during the colder months, ensuring you stay warm and comfortable.

Improving the energy efficiency of your HVAC system can help reduce energy costs and enhance comfort. Here are a few tips:

• Regular Maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance to keep your system running efficiently. This includes cleaning and inspecting all components, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring all parts are in good working order.
• Upgrade Your Thermostat: Consider installing a programmable or smart thermostat to better control your home’s temperature and reduce energy usage.
• Seal Ductwork: Ensure that your ductwork is properly sealed to prevent air leaks, which can lead to energy loss and reduced system efficiency.
• Change Air Filters: Replace your air filters regularly to maintain proper airflow and reduce strain on your HVAC system.

Heat pumps are an excellent choice for Pleasanton homeowners due to their energy efficiency and versatility. Some benefits of installing a heat pump include:

• Year-Round Comfort: Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, making them a versatile solution for all seasons.
• Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, making them more energy-efficient compared to traditional heating and cooling systems. This can lead to significant savings on your energy bills.
• Environmental Benefits: Because heat pumps use less energy, they produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions, making them an environmentally friendly choice.
• Quiet Operation: Modern heat pumps operate quietly, providing a comfortable and peaceful indoor environment.
• Improved Air Quality: Heat pumps can help improve indoor air quality by filtering out dust, allergens, and other pollutants.

Determining whether your HVAC system needs repair or replacement can be challenging. Here are some signs to look for:

• Age of the System: Most HVAC systems last between 10 to 15 years. If your system is older, it may be time to consider a replacement.
• Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself constantly calling for repairs, it might be more cost-effective to replace the system.
• Rising Energy Bills: An inefficient HVAC system will cause your energy bills to increase. If you've noticed a significant rise in your energy costs, a new system could help save money in the long run.
• Uneven Heating or Cooling: If certain rooms are consistently too hot or too cold, it may indicate that your system is no longer able to distribute air evenly.
• Strange Noises: Unusual noises such as banging, rattling, or squealing can indicate a serious issue that may require replacement.

If your HVAC system isn't performing as it should, follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue:

• Check the Thermostat: Ensure that your thermostat is set to the correct mode (heating or cooling) and temperature. Sometimes, simple adjustments can resolve the problem.
• Inspect Air Filters: Dirty or clogged air filters can restrict airflow and reduce the system's efficiency. Replace the filters if they are dirty.
• Examine the Outdoor Unit: Make sure the outdoor unit is free of debris, such as leaves or dirt, which can obstruct airflow and affect performance.
• Check the Power Source: Verify that the system is receiving power. Look for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses and reset them if necessary.
• Call a Professional: If the problem persists, contact Glover & Son Heating & Air Conditioning. Our technicians are available 24/7 to diagnose and repair any issues, ensuring your system is back up and running quickly.
