Homes in Fremont: what pros run into
Tesla's factory is in the former NUMMI plant. Many homes have slab foundations.
Ardenwood Historic Farm keeps the city's farm past. 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. Mission San José was founded in 1797.
Many older homes near the Bay were built without central air, and ductless mini-splits are a popular way to add cooling. BART reaches Warm Springs on the south side.
Local rules to know
In California, licenses for heating and air conditioning contractors come from the Contractors State License Board. Replacing a furnace, boiler or condenser usually needs a permit from the City of Fremont Building Division, and the contractor normally handles it.
Niles was home to an early silent film studio where Charlie Chaplin made The Tramp. Most homes are from the 1950s through the 1980s. In short, water comes from the Alameda County Water District, sewer service from Union Sanitary District, and permits come from the City of Fremont Building Division.

What people ask us
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.
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.
Which parts of Fremont can you help with?
Most likely. We cover Warm Springs, Ardenwood, Glenmoor and Parkmont and other parts of Fremont, across 94536, 94538, 94539, 94555, 94560. If nobody's available, we'll tell you, and you can call back later or pick another day that works better.
What makes Fremont a little different for HVAC service?
Lake Elizabeth is in Central Park. Fremont was formed in 1956 from five towns: Mission San José, Niles, Irvington, Centerville and Warm Springs. The Hayward Fault runs along the base of the hills. Share what you know about your home when you book.
Should I repair or replace my system?
It depends on age, repair cost and how well it works. Ask for both options in writing, including efficiency and any rebates, and compare.
