Why Trust Galaxy for Oakland HVAC Service?

Oakland's incredible housing diversity - from Victorian and Craftsman homes in Rockridge and Temescal to mid-century ranches in the hills to modern condos downtown-requires specialized HVAC expertise. Many older Oakland homes lack central ductwork, making ductless heat pumps an ideal solution for efficient heating and cooling without costly renovations.

We also serve Oakland's thriving commercial sector, including restaurants in Jack London Square, retail spaces on Piedmont Avenue, offices downtown, and warehouses in West Oakland. Our commercial HVAC team handles everything from rooftop units to multi-zone systems with 24/7 emergency support.

Oakland's microclimates create unique HVAC requirements: coastal areas stay cooler year-round, the flatlands heat up significantly in summer (often reaching 85-95°F), and the hills experience cooler temperatures with more fog. We recommend variable-speed heat pumps that adapt efficiently to these temperature variations, providing optimal comfort while minimizing energy costs.

Recent Oakland Installations

Rockridge Neighborhood

Installed a Daikin multi-zone ductless heat pump system (Daikin MXS series with 3 wall-mounted units) in a 1920s Craftsman home in Rockridge, Oakland. The homeowners needed efficient heating and cooling without disturbing the home's original architecture. The new inverter-driven system provides individual room control and reduced their PG&E bill by approximately 35% compared to their old wall heaters and window AC units.

Fruitvale Neighborhood

Replaced a failing 15-year-old gas furnace and AC with a high-efficiency 16 SEER2 variable-speed heat pump in a 1,600 sq ft Fruitvale home. The new American Standard system uses existing ductwork, delivers quieter operation and more consistent temperatures, and qualified the homeowner for $1,800 in Bay Area heat pump rebates plus federal tax credits.

Oakland Hills Neighborhood

Installed a Mitsubishi Hyper - Heat cold-climate heat pump system (model MSZ-FS series) for an Oakland Hills home at 1,200 ft elevation. The advanced system handles the area's cool foggy mornings and warm afternoons efficiently, providing reliable heating even during rare cold snaps. The variable-speed compressor maintains whisper-quiet operation while delivering precise comfort year-round.
