Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a water heater in Mill Valley?

Yes, you will need a permit for any water heater installation or replacement job. Our in-house department will handle permit application processes for you.

Are heat pumps a good option for homes in Mill Valley?

Heat pumps can be a great energy efficient option for older Mill Valley homes looking to electrify, but the best HVAC system for your household can be determined best by a professional after a thorough analysis.

Are ductless mini-splits good for older Mill Valley homes?

Ductless mini-splits can be a viable option because they do not require any ductwork and offer zoned heating, which is great for multi-level homes.

How do I know if my Mill Valley home needs to be repiped?

If you are experiencing frequent leaks, rust-colored water coming from your fictures, or poor water pressure on a regular basis.

Can an older Mill Valley electrical system support a heat pump or heat pump water heater?

Most likely, you will have to upgrade to a 200-amp panel if you do not have one already, since older electrical systems were not built to handle the larger load of these electric appliances.

Why does my Mill Valley home have uneven heating between floors?

This can be because of poorly designed or leaking ductwork, bad insulation, air leaks around the house, or where the thermostat is placed.

Should I replace old ductwork in my Mill Valley home?

If your ductwork is damaged, leaking, or is not sized correctly for your current HVAC system, you should have it replaced.

What are the signs that my sewer lateral needs replacement?

Frequent drain clogs, gurgling noises coming from the drains, foul odors, wet spots in your yard, and sewage backup.

What are signs of a hidden water leak in a Mill Valley home?

Unusually high water bills, mold and mildew growth, water damage in floors or ceiling, low water pressure, and the sound of hissing when no water is supposed to be running.
