Frequently Asked Questions
Can an older Petaluma home be converted from a gas furnace to a heat pump?
It is possible, but a local electrician and HVAC expert will have to analyze your electrical panel and your home’s structure to determine what installation requirements there might be.
Why is the upstairs of my Petaluma home hotter than downstairs?
Uneven temperatures in your home can be due to leaking ductwork, air leaks around the house, an old or improperly sized HVAC system, or the thermostat placement.
What are the signs of a hidden water leak in a Petaluma home?
Low water pressure, water damage in your floors and ceiling, hissing noises when no water should be running, mold and mildew growth, and unexplained jumps in your water bill.
What causes low water pressure in Petaluma homes?
Hidden plumbing leaks, a partially closed shut-off valve blocking some of the water flow, or mineral buildup from hard water are all possible explanations.
How can I tell if my Petaluma home’s ductwork is leaking?
Weak airflow coming from your vents, uneven temperatures throughout your house, unusually high utility bills, and your HVAC system running constantly to try to heat or cool your home at the desired temperature.
Should I snake or hydrojet a clogged sewer line?
The best course of action should be determined by a plumbing professional. Depending on the material and condition of your pipes, snaking may be a better solution than the harsher nature of a hydrojet.
What type of water heater is best for a Petaluma home?
This depends on the size of your home and the water heating needs of your household. A plumbing technician can help analyze this and determine what the best option would be.
Do I need a permit to install a heat pump in Petaluma?
Yes, you always need a permit for any water heater installation or replacement. We are able to handle the permitting process in-house.
Can an older Petaluma electrical panel support a heat pump water heater?
It is likely you will need to upgrade to a 200-amp panel for a heat pump water heater, though there are smart load management tools available.
