The short answer
PerfectFix HVAC Services repairs furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioners in Lompico, Zayante, Boulder Creek, Scotts Valley, Day Valley, and Brookdale. We diagnose the problem, explain it plainly, and give you a written estimate before starting repairs.
PerfectFix HVAC Services travels about 22 miles from our San Jose base to repair heating and cooling systems for homeowners in Santa Cruz County. We serve Lompico, Zayante, Boulder Creek, Scotts Valley, Day Valley, and Brookdale. Your furnace might not light, your heat pump might blow lukewarm air, or your AC might quit on a warm afternoon. In each case we find the cause, explain what we found, and go over your options before any work starts.
Heating and Cooling Repairs We Handle
Most service calls come down to a handful of common problems. We check the whole system, not just the part that failed, so the same issue is less likely to return.
- Gas furnaces that won't ignite, short-cycle, or shut down on a safety switch
- Heat pumps stuck in one mode, icing up, or running without heating or cooling
- Central AC units that run but don't cool, or won't start at all
- Thermostat, wiring, and control board faults
- Worn blower motors, failed capacitors, and noisy fans
- Weak airflow from clogged filters, crushed ducts, or blocked return vents
Service in the Mountains and Valleys
Homes in Lompico, Zayante, Boulder Creek, and Brookdale often sit on winding roads and steep lots under heavy tree cover. Equipment may be tucked into crawlspaces, attics, or side yards where leaves and debris pile up. We plan for that kind of access and bring what the job needs.
Homes in Scotts Valley and Day Valley have everything from older furnaces to newer heat pump systems. Wherever you live, we confirm your address and arrival window when you book so you know when to expect us.
Repair or Replace?
A repair is usually the right choice when the system is otherwise in good shape and the fix addresses the root cause. Replacement may make more sense when equipment is near the end of its life, keeps needing repairs, or has a major component failure. We'll explain both paths plainly and let you decide.
If you're thinking about a heat pump, keep in mind that the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) covered qualifying heat pumps placed in service before December 31, 2025. It is not available for new installations now. Other incentive programs change over time, so we confirm what is currently offered before including it in any quote.
What to Expect on a Repair Visit
Our technician will ask what you've noticed, inspect the equipment, and check electrical and airflow readings. Then we'll show you what's wrong and give you a written estimate before any repair begins. A few quick checks before you call can sometimes solve the problem or speed up the visit:
- Confirm the thermostat is set correctly and has working batteries
- Look for a tripped breaker or a switched-off service switch near the unit
- Replace a dirty air filter
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
