Indoor Air Quality in San Francisco: what's different
Indoor Air Quality work in San Francisco follows the local climate. Seasonal swings mean both humid summers and dry winters. Duct leakage, filtration and humidity control all affect comfort and bills.
Victorians and Edwardians in Pacific Heights, Noe Valley and the Mission often have older gas furnaces in garages or basements with limited ducts. Sunset and Richmond District homes from the 1930s to 1950s commonly have forced-air furnaces, and few homes have central AC.
The indoor air quality services San Francisco homeowners ask for most are fresh-Air Ventilation (ERV/HRV). Balanced ventilation for tight newer homes.
The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection issues mechanical permits, and California requires HVAC contractors to hold a C-20 license from the Contractors State License Board. City rules and incentives favor all-electric heat pumps for new installs.
