Zayante is a small, wooded community in the Santa Cruz Mountains, spread along the creek and canyon roads north of Felton in Santa Cruz County. It is about 17 miles from our south San Jose base as the crow flies. Some properties are full-time homes, while others started as weekend cabins and were later converted for year-round living.

That mix creates a specific kind of HVAC work. Cabins built for summer use often have little insulation and no central system, while upgraded homes may have a furnace under the floor and ducts that need care. ArcticPoint HVAC Repair helps Zayante owners make their homes warm, dry, and comfortable. Give us a call to talk it through.


From Summer Cabin to Year-Round Home

Turning a seasonal cabin into a full-time residence usually means rethinking heat. Space heaters and a wood stove may not be enough for steady comfort through winter.

Ductless Heat Pumps for Cabins

Ductless mini-splits are a natural fit. They need only a small wall opening for the line set, and each indoor head controls its own room.

Checking Electrical Capacity

Older cabins sometimes have small electrical services. We check the panel before recommending equipment so the install goes smoothly.

Remote and Part-Time Homes

If you do not live in Zayante full time, a Wi-Fi thermostat lets you warm the house before you arrive and watch for problems while you are away. Keeping a minimum temperature also helps control dampness. We can install and set up a thermostat that works with your system.


Before Your Appointment

Let us know about the road and parking, whether the home is occupied, and how we get inside. Tell us the heat source you have now and any plans for remodeling. Photos of the electrical panel and the rooms you want to heat help us plan.


Zayante FAQ

Can I control the heat when I am not there?

Yes. A Wi-Fi thermostat or ductless controller app lets you adjust settings remotely.
