Know your Cupertino house
Most homes went up between the 1950s and 1970s as orchards gave way to tracts. The San Andreas Fault runs through the hills west of the city.
Many homes sit on slab foundations. Many mid-century homes have ducts in a crawl space or attic that were never sealed, and leaks there waste a lot of heated or cooled air. De Anza College is on Stevens Creek Boulevard.
Inland heat waves push older AC units past their limits, and wildfire smoke days make better filtration a common request. Eichler homes often have radiant heating pipes in the slab.

Before the visit
Write down the thermostat setting and what the room temperature actually reads.
Have a rough idea of the age of the equipment or fixture involved.
Common questions
Why is one room always colder or hotter?
Common causes include leaky or undersized ducts, closed vents, poor insulation or a system that's not balanced. A tech can measure airflow room by room.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
Age, repair cost and efficiency all matter. A tech can walk you through the numbers, and it's reasonable to ask for a second opinion on a big replacement.
Do you cover Garden Gate and Fairgrove?
We look for independent pros across Cupertino, including Garden Gate, Seven Springs, Inspiration Heights and Fairgrove, and ZIP codes 95014. If nobody's available, we'll tell you. If you're close to a ZIP code line, mention your cross street when you call.
Any Cupertino details worth mentioning when I call?
Apple Park, Apple's headquarters, opened in Cupertino in 2017. Stevens Creek runs north from the Santa Cruz Mountains through the city. Memorial Park is the city's central park and hosts summer events. It helps to say roughly when your home was built.
What is a heat pump?
It moves heat instead of making it, heating in winter and cooling in summer. Modern cold-climate models work well even in freezing weather.
If you're renting in Cupertino, check your lease for who handles this repair.
