Coldharbour Heating & Air is an independently owned and operated HVAC company serving Mountain View, CA. Every job here carries the Kingswell Guarantee: a written price before the work starts, a firm arrival window, a clean job site, and a 365-day guarantee on repairs. Mountain View’s housing stock, from 1950s Eichlers to newer townhomes, presents specific heating and cooling challenges that a generic HVAC outfit won’t know how to handle. If your system is acting up, call (669) 800-4179 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Mountain View Homes Are Different
Mountain View’s post-war building boom left the city with thousands of Eichler and ranch-style homes built between the 1950s and 1970s. Many of these have radiant heating, minimal ductwork, or no central air at all. Eichler homes are especially tricky: the exposed ceiling beams and flat or low-slope roofs mean there’s no attic to run ducts through. When a homeowner in the Monta Loma or Rex Manor neighborhoods wants cooling, a conventional central AC system often isn’t even possible without major construction. That’s why we frequently recommend and install ductless mini-split systems in these homes, with the indoor units mounted high on walls and the refrigerant lines routed through exterior chases.
The climate adds another layer. Mountain View sits close enough to the Bay that the marine layer cools summer afternoons, so peak cooling demand stays moderate. But winters are damp and chilly, and the shoulder seasons, especially March through May, bring humidity that makes homes feel clammy. Many older furnaces in Mountain View are original or near-original gas units, and the city’s reach codes now require all-electric HVAC in major remodels. That means a furnace replacement in a 1962 ranch on Calderon Avenue often becomes a conversation about heat pump retrofits and what the home’s electrical panel can support.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Mountain View Services
Mountain View homeowners call Coldharbour Heating & Air most often for two things: a cooling system that quit in the middle of a heat wave, and a furnace that won’t fire on a damp winter morning. Both repairs start the same way: a written quote before any tool comes out.
AC Repair in Mountain View
An AC that’s blowing warm air or short-cycling in Mountain View usually points to one of a handful of culprits: a failing capacitor, a refrigerant leak, a clogged condensate line, or a dying compressor. In homes near Shoreline West, the salt air can accelerate corrosion on condenser coils. Our technicians diagnose the problem and hand you a written price before any work begins. If the repair fails inside 365 days, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the Kingswell Way. AC Repair in Mountain View
Furnace Repair in Mountain View
Mountain View’s older homes often still run gas furnaces from the 1980s or 1990s. Igniters crack, flame sensors get coated, and blower motors wear out. In the Waverly Park area, where many homes sit on crawl spaces, moisture can also corrode burner assemblies. We service furnaces from Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and other major brands. The repair gets a written 365-day guarantee before we leave. Furnace Repair in Mountain View
AC Installation in Mountain View
When a Mountain View home needs a new cooling system, the first question is usually whether ducts already exist. For a ranch home with an existing forced-air furnace, a central AC install is straightforward. For an Eichler with no attic and radiant heat, a ductless mini-split system is almost always the better answer. We size every system with a load calculation, not a rule of thumb, and we handle the permit paperwork with the city. AC Installation in Mountain View

AfterPricing for HVAC Company in Mountain View, CA
Mountain View pricing reflects the age of the housing stock, the complexity of retrofitting older homes, and the city’s permitting requirements. Here are the ranges we quote most often:
| Service | Typical Range in Mountain View |

| Furnace repair | $150 – $700 |
| AC installation | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Tune-up | $80 – $200 |
What pushes a Mountain View job toward the high end of those ranges? A system buried in a cramped mechanical closet in a newer townhome, an Eichler needing a custom ductless layout, or a repair that requires the city to sign off on electrical work. Whatever the final number is, you’ll see it in writing before any work starts. The price doesn’t change at the door.

- Deanna Boleyn"New AC and furnace. They gave me a written quote with a couple of options and no pressure. Showed up on the day they promised and the new system is so much quieter."
- Gloria Dunn"New mini split for the addition. Clean install, on time two days running, and the price matched the written quote to the dollar."
