Heating in Palo Alto: what's different
Heating work in Palo Alto follows the local climate. Furnaces in mixed climates run for several months, and ice storms or cold snaps put sudden load on them. Annual safety checks on burners, venting and heat exchangers are worthwhile.
A common Palo Alto pattern: electrification. City programs strongly encourage heat pumps and all-electric homes.
The heating services Palo Alto homeowners ask for most are furnace Repair, boiler & Radiant Heat. No heat, ignition failure, short cycling and pilot or flame sensor problems.
The City of Palo Alto Development Services issues mechanical permits, and City of Palo Alto Utilities has offered electrification incentives. California requires C-20 licensed contractors.
