Sebastopol HVAC Services

Sebastopol is a short drive west of our Coffey Lane shop, and it is one of the more distinctive service areas we work in — cooler, foggier, and full of houses that were never designed around a central HVAC system. Dale Heating Cooling & Sheetmetal is family-owned, working in Sonoma County since 1993, California license C20/C43 #952649.

Sebastopol sits close enough to the coast that marine air and morning fog moderate the summer heat considerably. Cooling loads here are among the lowest in our service area, while heating runs longer through the damp shoulder seasons than the raw temperature numbers suggest. That combination catches out contractors who spec equipment off a zip code lookup. In Sebastopol the honest answer is often a smaller, better-modulating system than you would put in Windsor, paired with attention to humidity and ventilation rather than raw cooling tonnage. Damp is the real comfort problem in a lot of Sebastopol houses, and it is not one that a bigger condenser solves.

A great deal of Sebastopol housing is older apple-country farmhouses, converted outbuildings and homes that grew by addition over the decades. These are the houses where there is simply no sensible route for a conventional ducted system — no attic worth using, no crawlspace clearance, and rooms added on that were never on the original heating plan. Ductless mini-splits solve this well, zone by zone, without tearing the house apart, and Sebastopol homeowners tend to be receptive to heat pump technology and efficiency upgrades generally. Where ducting does exist and is worth saving, we fabricate the transitions and fittings in our own sheet metal shop, which is usually the difference between a retrofit that fits the house and one that fights it.

Ductless mini-split design, installation and service. Heat pump systems and conversions from gas heat. Furnace repair, replacement and maintenance. Air conditioning service where it is the right fit. Ventilation, filtration and indoor air quality work for damp and smoke season alike. Custom sheet metal fabrication for additions and older floor plans. Light commercial service for Sebastopol businesses. HVAC permits in Sebastopol are pulled through the City of Sebastopol Building Department, and we take care of that.
