Permits, licenses and your utility
Ask about utility rebates before you replace equipment. Silicon Valley Power, the city's own electric utility and other local programs have offered incentives for efficient systems and heat pumps at various times. In California, licenses for heating and air conditioning contractors come from the Contractors State License Board.
Permit questions go to the City of Santa Clara Community Development Department. The city delivers water from local wells blended with Valley Water and SFPUC supply. Electricity here comes from Silicon Valley Power, the city's own electric utility, and gas from PG&E. Rivermark was built on former Agnews State Hospital land. Silicon Valley Power, owned by the city, supplies electricity.
What Santa Clara housing means for HVAC service
Many homes sit on slab foundations. Much of the housing went up as ranch homes in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Old Quad has some of the oldest houses in the city. 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. California's Great America theme park is next to Levi's Stadium.
Inland heat waves push older AC units past their limits, and wildfire smoke days make better filtration a common request. Santa Clara co-owns the regional wastewater plant with San José.

Common questions
How often should I change my filter?
Check it monthly. Many standard filters need replacing every one to three months, more often with pets or during smoky or dusty stretches.
Why is one room always hotter or colder?
Closed or blocked vents, leaky ducts, poor insulation or a system sized wrong for the house are common reasons. A tech can measure airflow room by room.
