Alameda homes and their heating
Alameda has one of the largest collections of Victorian homes in the Bay Area. Old houses mean old heating, and that is most of what we see on the island.
- Victorians and Queen Annes
Tall ceilings, plaster walls and furnaces tucked under the house or in a hall closet.
- Cottages and bungalows
Wall heaters and floor furnaces that have heated the house for decades.
- Post-war homes
Forced-air furnaces with ducts in the crawlspace, often due for replacement.
- Moist air near the water
Salt air is hard on outdoor units. We check coils and connections on every visit.
What to know about heating in Alameda
Many older Alameda homes still run original floor furnaces and wall heaters. Most are outdated and ready for a retrofit. We recommend an inspection once a year before the heating season and regular maintenance after that.
Many older heating systems here have asbestos in the duct wrap, duct tape, flue pipe or furnace cabinet. Left alone and intact it is not a hazard. It must not be cut, sanded or torn out. If we suspect it, it gets tested and handled by a certified abatement contractor before any work goes forward.
Alameda homes get electricity from Alameda Municipal Power, not PG&E, while gas still comes from PG&E. That matters for heat pump planning, panel upgrades and any utility offers. We check what applies to your home when we give you a price.
Replacing a furnace or installing a heat pump in Alameda needs a permit from the City of Alameda. We pull it as part of the job.

Do you service Alameda?

Who supplies electricity in Alameda?
Alameda Municipal Power supplies electricity in Alameda. Gas comes from PG&E. Both matter when you plan a heat pump or panel upgrade.
How often should an older heater be inspected?
Once a year, before the heating season starts. Older floor furnaces, wall heaters and furnaces should also get regular maintenance. An inspection catches cracked parts, bad venting and carbon monoxide risks before you need the heat.
Do older heating systems contain asbestos?
Many do, in the duct wrap, duct tape, flue pipe or cabinet. Intact material left alone is not a hazard. It must not be cut or torn out. If we suspect it, it gets tested and handled by a certified abatement contractor before any work goes forward.
Do you give a price before the work starts?
Yes. You get a written price after the diagnosis and before any repair or replacement starts.
