Travis
March 2026
A Hillsborough heat pump was reported to have a reversing valve that had gone out and needed the part replaced.
Travis found that the problem was not the reversing valve but the thermostat. He checked the solenoid and pressures with the valve open and closed, and jumped the wires out to test the reversing valve, which showed it was working properly. He then found a bent pin on the back of the thermostat and bent it back up.
After Travis straightened the bent thermostat pin, the unit started working again.

Read articleHillsborough's tree-lined historic streets and wooded subdivisions generate heavy seasonal debris loads that foul condenser coils and clog air filters more quickly than suburban settings.
Forest Ridge and Beckett's Ridge homes with 20+ year old ductwork may have deteriorating seals, insulation, and connections that leak conditioned air into crawl spaces and attics.
HVAC systems in Hillsborough historic homes often have unique configurations that need technicians experienced with mini-splits, high-velocity systems, and older equipment.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Hillsborough.
Twice yearly: spring for cooling and fall for heating. Hillsborough's heavy tree cover means condenser coils may need additional cleaning during peak pollen season in March-April. Homes in wooded areas of Forest Ridge may need quarterly filter changes.
Our Hillsborough maintenance visits include thorough condenser coil cleaning, refrigerant check, electrical inspection, drain line clearing, filter replacement, and system performance evaluation. For historic homes, we also inspect specialized equipment like mini-split wall units.
Yes, we service all ductless mini-split brands. Mini-split maintenance includes cleaning wall unit filters and coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting condensate drains, and verifying electrical connections. Annual maintenance keeps these systems running efficiently for 20+ years.
Our maintenance plans start at $189/year for two seasonal tune-ups with priority scheduling and repair discounts. This is a fraction of the cost of emergency repairs that preventive maintenance avoids.
