HVAC Repair in Ben Lomond, CA

Ben Lomond is an unincorporated town in the San Lorenzo Valley of Santa Cruz County, set along Highway 9 among redwoods and river canyons. It is about 20 miles from our south San Jose base in a straight line. Many homes here are older, built as cabins or small houses and expanded over the decades, while others are newer houses on hillside lots.

The valley stays cool and shaded for much of the year, and winter nights can be cold. ArcticPoint HVAC Repair helps Ben Lomond homeowners with furnace repair, heat pump installation, ductwork, and air filtration. Call and tell us about your house and what is going wrong.

Heating Homes in the San Lorenzo Valley

Heating is the main concern here. Homes often combine a wood stove with a furnace, wall heater, or baseboard heat. We help homeowners figure out the most practical way to heat the whole house.

Floor and Wall Furnaces

Some older homes still use a floor furnace or wall heater. These can be serviced, but many owners choose to replace them with a ducted or ductless heat pump for more even comfort.

Adding Ducts to Older Homes

Where there is crawlspace or attic room, new ducts can bring heat to every room. Where there is not, ductless heads are a simpler path.

Common Service Calls in Ben Lomond

• Floor or wall furnace not lighting
• Replacing older heat with a heat pump

Air Quality in a Wooded Valley

On cold, still nights, woodstove smoke can settle in the valley, and wildfire smoke can drift in during summer and fall. A ducted system with a good filter, or a stand-alone filtration plan for ductless homes, keeps indoor air cleaner. We can review your options during a visit.

What to Share Before Scheduling

Share directions and parking details, since many homes are on narrow or steep roads. Tell us about the current heat source and where it is located, and mention any stairs or tight access to the crawlspace.
