HVAC Repair in Gilroy, CA

Gilroy is the southernmost city in Santa Clara County, about 19 miles south of our San Jose base along US 101. It sees some of the hottest summer days in the region, and air conditioning works hard here from late spring through early fall. Winters are mild but can bring frosty mornings, so heating still matters.

Gilroy has an older downtown with historic homes, large newer subdivisions, and commercial centers along the highway. ArcticPoint HVAC Repair handles AC repair, new system installation, furnace service, and commercial HVAC repair across the city. Call us, describe the problem, and we will schedule a visit.

Cooling That Can Handle Gilroy Heat

When outdoor temperatures climb, small problems become big ones. A weak capacitor, a dirty condenser coil, or low refrigerant charge often shows up during the first heat wave of the year.

Sizing Matters

An oversized AC short cycles and leaves the house clammy. An undersized one runs nonstop. We size new equipment to the actual home, not just the old unit's label.

Attic Ducts in Hot Weather

Attics in Gilroy get extremely hot. Leaky or poorly insulated ducts lose cooling before it reaches the rooms, so we check them during service.

Common Service Calls in Gilroy

Older Homes and Newer Subdivisions

Historic homes near downtown may have limited duct space, making ductless or high-velocity options worth considering. Newer subdivision homes usually have attic systems where duct sealing, added returns, or zoning improve comfort upstairs. Each type of home gets a recommendation that fits its layout.

What to Share Before Scheduling

Tell us the age of your system if you know it, what the AC or furnace is doing, and whether the breaker has tripped. For businesses, share your hours and the location of rooftop or closet equipment.

Gilroy FAQ

When should I service my AC in Gilroy?

Spring is ideal, before temperatures rise and the system runs for long hours.

Why does my AC freeze on hot days?

Restricted airflow or a low refrigerant charge can cause the coil to freeze. We find the cause.

Is a heat pump a good fit here?

Yes. Modern heat pumps handle both hot summers and mild winters efficiently.

Can you help with commercial rooftop units?

Yes. We provide commercial HVAC repair for small buildings.

Should I close vents in unused rooms?

Usually not. Closing too many vents can reduce airflow and strain the system.

How can I reduce heat in my upstairs?

Duct sealing, attic insulation, added returns, or zoning can all help.
