What Daly City housing means for HVAC service
Coastal bluffs along the west side have eroded. The San Andreas Fault runs offshore near Mussel Rock.
Bayshore sits on the east side near the Cow Palace. Original ductwork in mid-century houses tends to leak at the joints. Sealing it can make a noticeable difference in comfort. Damp salt air is hard on exterior metal and paint.
Many older homes near the Bay were built without central air, and ductless mini-splits are a popular way to add cooling. Many homes sit above a ground-floor garage.
Utilities, permits and licensing
Natural gas in Daly City comes from PG&E. Electricity comes from PG&E. If you ever smell gas, leave the building and call the gas utility from outside. In California, licenses for heating and air conditioning contractors come from the Contractors State License Board.
Who runs what: Daly City Water, with Cal Water serving some areas for water, the North San Mateo County Sanitation District for wastewater and the Daly City Building Division for permits. Fog and wind off the Pacific are common much of the year. Daly City borders San Francisco on the south.

Common questions
Do I need a carbon monoxide detector?
If you have gas, oil or wood burning appliances or an attached garage, yes. Put one near sleeping areas and test it regularly.
Why is my AC freezing up?
Low airflow from a dirty filter or blocked vents is a common cause, and low refrigerant is another. Turn the system off to let it thaw and call a tech if it happens again.
