Castro Valley homes and their heating
Castro Valley sits inland, so summers run hotter than Oakland and winter nights run colder. Homes here work their heating and cooling harder.
- Post-war ranch homes
Forced-air furnaces in the attic or garage, many decades old.
- Hillside homes
Long duct runs and rooms that never match the thermostat.
- Older homes near the boulevard
Floor furnaces and wall heaters that are often the only heat in the house.
- Hot summer afternoons
AC that can't keep up, or no AC at all. A heat pump covers both seasons.
What to know about heating in Castro Valley
Many older Castro Valley homes still run original furnaces, 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 Most are outdated and ready for a retrofit.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.
Castro Valley is unincorporated, so permits come from Alameda County, not a city. Replacing a furnace or installing a heat pump needs a county permit. We pull it as part of the job.
