It's hitting 100° today. Your AC has been running hard for six weeks straight. Here's what actually helps.
Right now:
– Set your thermostat to 78°F. Cranking it to 65° doesn't cool faster — it runs your compressor harder while your PG&E bill climbs.
– Close every blind on west- and south-facing windows.
– Ceiling fans counterclockwise, only in rooms you're in.
– Skip the oven and the dryer until after 9 p.m.
Watch for:
– Ice on the copper lines outside (refrigerant issue — will kill your compressor)
– Warm air from the vents while the outdoor unit is running
– New sounds: buzz, rattle, hum-then-silence
– Outdoor unit running non-stop without cycling
Any of those, call today. Peak-summer schedules fill up in hours, and every day deeper into August means longer waits.

Meet the crew keeping you cool this summer.
25+ years serving the East Bay, and one thing we don't do: push you toward a new system when your current one has years left in it.
We call it repair before replace. If we can fix it, we fix it. If a tune-up will get you through August, we say so. And if it really is time to replace — we tell you that honestly, with the numbers to back it up.
Antioch, Brentwood, Concord, Pittsburg, Oakley, Walnut Creek, Danville, Lafayette — your house, our problem. Triple-digit days don't catch us off guard.

The first 90° day always sneaks up on us.
Every year around late May or early June, we get the same flood of calls — homeowners who haven't run their AC since October, turning it on for the first time, and finding out it's not blowing cold. Or it's cold for ten minutes and then stops. Or it's making a sound it didn't used to make.
Most of those problems were quietly there last fall. They just got worse sitting through winter.
Here's the move: get ahead of it. Call us out for a free in-home estimate before the heat really lands. We'll look at your system, tell you straight whether it needs a repair, a tune-up, or a replacement, and give you honest numbers — not a sales pitch.
If replacement does turn out to be the right call, the rebate stack right now is significant. Between state programs, utility rebates, federal tax credits, and current manufacturer promotions through our distributors, a high-efficiency upgrade can come with several thousand dollars in combined incentives — before any current Energy Solutions offers.

Free estimate, no pressure. 925-778-1335. We'd rather come out and tell you nothing's wrong than have you find out on the hottest weekend of the summer.

We're hiring a service technician.

– Local work. East Bay routes. Home for dinner.
– Small enough that you're a name, not a number. 28 years in business, steady work, good crew.
– 35-45, plus [BENEFITS — health, dental, vision, take-home vehicle, tools, etc.]
What we're looking for:
– 7+ years of residential HVAC service experience
– EPA certification [required]
– Clean driving record
– Someone customers trust the minute you walk in
Interested, or know someone who'd be a good fit? [HOW TO APPLY — email [email protected] / call (925)778-1335.
We'd love to talk.

Heat's coming. Your AC has been sitting unused since October.
Now's the time for a tune-up. About 45 minutes, $90 right now. We check refrigerant level, capacitor charge, electrical connections, coil cleanliness, and filter — the small things that quietly run your bill up all summer or break the system on the first 95° day.
If everything's good, we tell you it's good. If something needs work, we tell you straight what it'll cost. 28 years in the East Bay, and we'd rather catch a $40 problem in May than send a truck on an emergency call when your house is 90° inside.
Schedule while the calendar's open. Once the heat lands we're booked out. 925-778-1335

Three signs your AC isn't going to make it through summer:

1- It took more than a few minutes to start cooling last fall. Compressors and capacitors that were sluggish in October don't get better after sitting unused all winter. They get worse. If yours wheezed through last fall, June is going to be ugly.
2- You can hear new sounds. Buzzing, rattling, or that brief humming-then-silence are all signs of a capacitor on its way out. They go fast. Usually on the hottest day of the year, naturally.
3- It's 12+ years old. Average residential AC lifespan in California is 12–15 years. East Bay summers cut that shorter. Past 12, you're on borrowed time — and refrigerant for older systems (especially R-22) is phased out, which makes repairs more expensive every year.

If any of those describe your system, this is the week to deal with it. Schedules are still open. By July they won't be.
Honest take: we've kept plenty of 18-year-old systems running another five summers. Sometimes a $400 fix beats a $8,000 replacement. Sometimes it doesn't. We'll tell you which.

AC running but not blowing cold? Before you call anyone, four things to check yourself.

1- Thermostat. Set to "Cool," not "Fan." Sounds obvious — it's the most common call we get all summer.
2- Filter. Pull it out. Hold it up to a light. Can't see through it? Swap it. A clogged filter can freeze the coil and shut the whole system down.
3- Outdoor unit. Leaves packed in? Grass overgrown? Clear two feet of space around it. The unit needs to breathe.
4- Breaker. Sometimes that's all it is.

Still not cooling after 20 minutes of run time? Now give us a call.

Spring is Here – Is Your AC Ready for East Bay Heat? ☀️

Right now it's nice outside. But we all know what's coming—Brentwood and Antioch will be pushing 100°F before you know it.

April is the best time to get your AC checked:
✓ No waiting weeks for an appointment (summer gets crazy)
✓ Find problems now before they leave you sweating in June
✓ Most manufacturer warranties require annual maintenance to stay valid

A spring tune-up takes about an hour and includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, testing electrical connections, and making sure everything's running efficiently.

Don't wait until the first heat wave when everyone else calls. Book your spring tune-up now.

Anyone else's house confused by this weather lately?

Woke up this morning and it was 54 degrees. By 3pm my kids were begging to turn on the AC because it hit 79. Tomorrow's supposed to drop back up above 80!

This is classic East Bay spring—and honestly, your HVAC system is probably as confused as the rest of us. All that switching between heat and AC puts real stress on the equipment.

Quick question for you: Have you noticed your system making any weird noises when it kicks on? Or maybe some rooms that just won't stay comfortable? Those are usually the first signs that all this temperature whiplash is taking a toll.

If things seem off, it's worth getting it checked before summer hits. Way better to catch a small issue now than have your AC quit during a heat wave in July.

Serving the East Bay since '98—we've seen a lot of wild spring weather out here!
