No Heat Upstairs in Burlingame - FAQ

While summers here average 70°F - milder than inland areas - AC significantly improves comfort during warm periods. Many newer homes in the area include AC as standard.
What HVAC challenges do local 1920s-40s homes face?
Homes built in the 1920s-1970s typically experience older heating systems. We specialize in addressing these specific issues.
Why is my upstairs so much colder than downstairs?
Common causes include leaky or undersized ductwork, poor attic insulation, and single-zone HVAC systems that can't adequately serve two floors. The fix depends on the specific cause.
Should I close downstairs vents to force more heat upstairs?
Partially closing a few downstairs vents can help, but closing too many creates pressure problems that reduce system efficiency. Professional balancing is the better long-term solution.
