In Bay Area neighborhoods, many of us have really been enjoying the recent weather. However, now’s the time to start thinking about how you can keep air conditioning costs down for the remainder of the season. A summer without AC in California is bound to be uncomfortable, but that doesn't mean your energy bill has to skyrocket in the next few weeks.
At Hassler, we know air conditioning and can get yours in top shape for the heat. Do you know all these common AC related terms?
Although you may think the air in your home is safe, there are many harmful pollutants, allergens, and contaminants that may be contributing to health issues for you and your family. Indoor air is actually about two to five times more contaminated than outdoor air since the pollutants are more concentrated.
Many homeowners in the Berkeley, El Cerrito and Oakland areas have spent years dealing with what are often referred to as “problem rooms.” These rooms are seemingly impossible to heat during the winter months and can be overwhelmingly hot during the summer.
If you’ve air sealed the room, beefed-up insulation and are still experiencing problems, the answer you seek may be found in a ductless mini-split heat pump.
With warmer temperatures already making themselves at home here in the Bay Area, you’ve probably already finished your spring cleaning. But did you remember to do everything?
If you’re looking for a truly fresh start this spring, a home energy assessment will help get you there.
There’s no better time to make sure your air conditioner will be able to handle the hot summer weather. Anyone who has ever experienced a midsummer air conditioning breakdown knows how frustrating it can be, which is why it’s important to prepare ahead of time.
No one in the El Cerrito, Berkeley, and Oakland area wants to spend money on potentially costly heating repairs. Fortunately, this doesn’t ever have to become a problem if you remain proactive, the answer to which can be found in scheduling regular HVAC maintenance.
If the utility bills for your El Cerrito, Berkeley or Oakland area home are out of control and you’re wondering how you can start making these expenses more manageable, you should consider upgrading to a tankless water heater.

With winter here, many El Cerrito, Oakland and Berkeley area residents are spending quite a bit more time indoors. During this time of year, we typically spend as much as 90% of our days and nights inside, and our furnaces can see quite a bit of use when the temperatures fall. For those who are looking to increase home efficiency, boost indoor air quality and create a more comfortable home environment, the solution can often be found in a new furnace.
Homeowners in the Oakland, El Cerrito and Berkeley areas who have ever felt a draft come through a wall or window knows just how annoying this problem can be. Drafty rooms tend to present themselves especially during the cooler months of the year when the winds are blowing, and they’re responsible for far more than just discomfort—drafts may be costing you a small fortune without you even knowing it.
