Heat Pump Not Heating in Concord - FAQ
My Concord home is from the 1970s. What HVAC issues should I expect?
1970s Concord homes typically have original furnaces near end of life, undersized ductwork, and often no AC. Budget for system replacement - the efficiency gains alone justify it.
What makes this service different in Concord?
Concord's hot summers and diverse housing stock - from 1960s tract homes to the new Concord Naval Weapons Station development - require versatile HVAC expertise.
How important is AC maintenance in this hot climate?
Critical. With summer highs averaging 90°F, local AC systems work harder than coastal areas. Annual maintenance prevents costly mid-summer breakdowns.

Why does my heat pump blow cold air sometimes?
Heat pumps blow cool air during defrost cycles (normal, lasts 5-15 minutes) and produce air that's warm but cooler than a furnace. If it's truly cold air constantly, there's a problem needing diagnosis.
At what temperature is a heat pump not effective?
Standard heat pumps lose efficiency below 35-40°F and may need backup heat. Cold-climate heat pumps work down to 0°F or below. In mild Bay Area winters, standard heat pumps usually suffice.
