Know your Davis house
The city switched from groundwater to mostly river water in 2016. The Davis Farmers Market runs year-round in Central Park.
Summer highs often top 95 degrees. Original ductwork in mid-century houses tends to leak at the joints. Sealing it can make a noticeable difference in comfort. Davis has more than 100 miles of bike lanes and paths.
Many older homes near the Bay were built without central air, and ductless mini-splits are a popular way to add cooling. Tule fog can settle in on winter mornings.
Local rules
Natural gas in Davis comes from PG&E. Electricity comes from PG&E, with power supply from Valley Clean Energy by default. 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.
Many homes have rooftop solar. Old North has homes from the early 1900s. In short, water comes from the City of Davis, sewer service from the city's wastewater treatment plant, and permits come from the City of Davis Building Division.

Quick answers
Do you cover Covell Park and Old North?
Yes, as long as a pro is available. Davis ZIP codes are in range, and that includes Covell Park, South Davis, Stonegate and El Macero. Share the street name when you call so we can check the right part of town.
Why does my system short cycle?
Turning on and off quickly can come from a dirty filter, a thermostat problem, low refrigerant or an oversized unit. It wastes energy and wears parts.
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.
Any Davis details worth mentioning when I call?
UC Davis is the city's largest employer. Village Homes was built in the 1970s as an early solar-designed neighborhood. Most homes sit on slab foundations. It helps to say roughly when your home was built.
Why is water pooling near my furnace or AC?
Usually a clogged condensate drain or a failed condensate pump. Turn the system off and have it looked at to avoid water damage.
Write down any error codes, noises or smells. Details like that speed things up.
