Why Healdsburg Businesses Trust Us for Commercial Heating Repairs
Here’s the thing about commercial heating systems: they’re not like the furnace in your home. These are complex, high-capacity systems that keep large spaces comfortable for employees and customers. When something goes wrong, you need someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
We’ve been serving Healdsburg’s business community for years, working on everything from small retail shops along Healdsburg Avenue to large commercial facilities in the Healdsburg Industrial Park. Our technicians hold California C-20 HVAC contractor licenses and EPA Section 608 certifications, but more importantly, they understand how businesses in wine country operate.
Your winery can’t pause operations during crush season because a rooftop unit failed. Your restaurant can’t seat customers in a freezing dining room. We get it, and we respond fast.
Commercial Heating Systems We Repair in Healdsburg
We work on all types of commercial heating equipment. If it heats a commercial space, we can fix it.
Rooftop HVAC Units (RTUs)
Most commercial buildings in Healdsburg use rooftop package units. These handle both heating and cooling, but when the heating side fails, you’re stuck. We diagnose and repair compressor issues, gas valve problems, ignition failures, and blower motor malfunctions. These units take a beating from our weather, especially with temperature swings between day and night.
Commercial Gas Furnaces
Gas furnaces are common in offices, retail spaces, and restaurants throughout the Mill Street business district and Ridge Plaza Shopping Center. We fix heat exchanger cracks, pilot light problems, burner issues, and thermostat failures. A cracked heat exchanger isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a carbon monoxide risk that needs immediate attention.
Commercial Boilers
If your business uses radiant heating or baseboard heat, you’ve got a boiler system. We repair water pressure problems, pump failures, leaks, and control system errors. Boilers are big in older downtown Healdsburg buildings, and we know these systems inside and out.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps work great in our moderate climate, but they still need repairs. We handle refrigerant leaks, reversing valve issues, and outdoor unit problems. When a heat pump stops heating, it usually needs attention fast.
Electric Furnaces and Unit Heaters
Warehouses, workshops, and industrial spaces often use electric heating. We repair electrical failures, heating element burnout, and airflow problems. Electric systems can be tricky to diagnose, but our technicians have the right tools and training.
Ductless Mini-Split Systems
These are popular for office spaces and retail shops that need zone control. We fix sensor errors, refrigerant leaks, and fan motor issues.
Common Commercial Heating Problems We Fix
No Heat at All
Your thermostat says it’s calling for heat, but nothing’s happening. This could be an ignition system failure, a dead blower motor, a tripped breaker, or a faulty gas valve. We diagnose the real problem instead of just replacing parts and hoping something works.
Insufficient Heating
The system runs, but your space never gets warm enough. This frustrates everyone. Common causes include dirty air filters restricting airflow, ductwork leaks losing heat before it reaches your space, undersized equipment for your building, or a failing heat exchanger that can’t transfer heat properly.
Strange Noises
Banging, rattling, or squealing from your heating system isn’t normal. These sounds tell us something’s wrong. A banging noise often means delayed ignition in gas furnaces (dangerous). Squealing typically points to belt or blower motor problems. Rattling can indicate loose components or ductwork issues.
Short Cycling
Your heater turns on and off constantly instead of running through normal cycles. This wastes energy and wears out components fast. We look at thermostat settings, airflow restrictions, and system sizing to find the cause.
High Energy Bills
Did your heating costs suddenly spike? If the weather hasn’t changed much and your usage patterns are the same, your heating system is probably working harder than it should. This means something’s wrong and needs repair.
How Our Commercial Heater Repair Process Works
- Emergency Response
When you call with a heating emergency, we don’t make you wait. We offer 24/7 emergency service for commercial clients because we know you can’t just shut down your business. Our technicians arrive with fully stocked service vehicles so we can often complete repairs on the first visit.
- Thorough Diagnostics
We don’t guess. Our technicians use digital multimeters, combustion analyzers, manometers, and other diagnostic tools to figure out exactly what’s wrong. We test gas pressure, check electrical connections, measure airflow, and inspect all major components.
- Honest Assessment
You’ll get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix. No surprises. If we find a part that’s about to fail, we’ll tell you, but we won’t push unnecessary repairs. Some HVAC companies try to sell you a new system when all you need is a simple repair. That’s not how we work.
- Quality Repairs
We use quality replacement parts and follow manufacturer specifications. Every repair includes proper testing to make sure everything works right. We don’t leave until your heat’s working properly.
- Safety Checks
Before we finish, we run complete safety inspections. This includes checking for carbon monoxide, testing gas connections for leaks, verifying proper combustion, and making sure all safety controls function correctly.
Why Commercial Heating Repairs Can’t Wait
Think about what happens when your heating fails during business hours. Your employees are uncomfortable and less productive. Customers don’t want to stay in a cold environment. You might even have to close temporarily, losing revenue you can’t get back.
For restaurants in downtown Healdsburg, a cold dining room means empty tables. For retail shops near the Plaza, customers won’t browse when they’re freezing. Wineries and tasting rooms lose that cozy atmosphere that keeps visitors engaged.
The longer you wait, the worse things get. A small problem like a dirty flame sensor (quick and inexpensive to fix) can turn into a cracked heat exchanger (expensive and potentially dangerous) if ignored. We’ve seen it happen too many times.
Healdsburg’s Climate and Your Commercial Heating System
People who haven’t lived here don’t realize how much temperature variation we get. Winter mornings can drop below freezing, especially near the Russian River or out in Dry Creek Valley. Then afternoons warm up. Your commercial heating system constantly adjusts to these changes.
This cycling puts stress on components. Ignition systems work harder. Blower motors cycle more frequently. Thermostats need accurate calibration to handle these swings without wasting energy.
Add in the dust from agricultural areas surrounding Healdsburg, and your filters and ductwork face extra challenges. Wine country businesses deal with unique demands that generic HVAC companies don’t always understand.
Preventive Maintenance Saves Money
Here’s something most business owners don’t think about: regular maintenance prevents most emergency repairs. We offer preventive maintenance contracts that include annual inspections, filter changes, cleaning, and adjustments.
During maintenance visits, we catch small problems before they become big ones. A worn belt gets replaced before it breaks. A dirty ignitor gets cleaned before it fails completely. Gas pressure gets adjusted before efficiency drops.
Maintained systems use less energy too. When your furnace runs efficiently, your utility bills stay lower. The money you spend on maintenance pays for itself through avoided repairs and lower energy costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How quickly can you respond to a commercial heating emergency in Healdsburg?
We offer same-day service for emergency calls and 24/7 availability for critical situations. When your business needs heat immediately, we prioritize getting a technician to your location fast. Our goal is to have someone on-site within hours of your call, not days.

What's the typical cost to repair a commercial heater?
Honestly, it depends on what's wrong. A simple fix like replacing a flame sensor or thermostat might cost a few hundred dollars. More complex repairs involving major components like heat exchangers or blower motors cost more. We provide up-front pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you're paying. No surprises. The real answer is that we need to diagnose your specific problem to give you an accurate price.
Should I repair or replace my commercial heating system?
This is the question we get asked most often. If your system is less than 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of replacement, repair usually makes sense. If you're dealing with an older system (15+ years) that needs expensive repairs, or if you've had multiple repairs in the past few years, replacement might be smarter financially. We'll give you an honest assessment based on your specific situation. We're not here to sell you something you don't need.
Do you offer preventive maintenance contracts for commercial properties?
Yes, and we strongly recommend them. Maintenance contracts include scheduled inspections, priority service, and often discounted rates on repairs. Regular maintenance catches problems early, extends equipment life, and keeps your system running efficiently. For businesses that can't afford unexpected downtime, a maintenance contract provides peace of mind. We'll create a maintenance schedule that works around your business operations.
Can you work outside normal business hours to avoid disrupting my operations?
Absolutely. We understand that many repairs are better done when your business is closed. We regularly schedule service calls early mornings, evenings, and weekends to minimize impact on your operations. Just let us know what works best for your schedule, and we'll accommodate your needs whenever possible.
What brands of commercial heating equipment do you service?
We work on all major brands and most smaller manufacturers. Whether you have Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, York, Goodman, or any other brand, our technicians have the experience and training to diagnose and repair it. We don't limit ourselves to specific brands because we understand businesses inherit equipment when they move into buildings, and you need someone who can work on whatever you have.
Why is my heating system working but not heating the building evenly?
Uneven heating in commercial spaces usually points to one of several issues: ductwork problems (leaks or poor design), zone control failures, inadequate system capacity for your space, or airflow restrictions from dirty filters or blocked vents. Sometimes it's as simple as needing duct balancing. Other times, ductwork modifications are necessary. We'll inspect your entire system to find the real cause and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
