We Know Mill Valley Systems

Sugar Bear Home Services has been handling HVAC services in Mill Valley and Marin County for years. We understand how the marine layer affects your system’s performance and why those older homes in the hills need different approaches than newer construction.

Our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained on the systems most common in this area. We’ve worked on everything from 1950s ranch homes to modern builds, so we know what works and what doesn’t in Mill Valley’s unique climate.

You won’t find us cutting corners or pushing unnecessary upgrades. We fix what needs fixing and tell you straight when something can wait.

HVAC Repair Process

Straightforward Service Every Time

When you call, we schedule a time that works for you – usually same day for emergencies. Our technician arrives on time, diagnoses the problem, and gives you upfront pricing before any work begins.

No surprises, no “we found something else” after we’re already inside your system. You approve the work, we complete it efficiently, and test everything to make sure it’s running properly.

We clean up our work area and walk you through what we did. If it’s a repair that could have been prevented, we’ll explain how to avoid it next time. If your system is showing signs of bigger issues down the road, we’ll let you know what to watch for.

Everything Your System Needs

We handle emergency repairs when your heating or air conditioning stops working. Installation of new systems when your old one finally gives up. Regular maintenance to prevent breakdowns during the worst possible times.

Mill Valley homes put unique demands on HVAC systems. The temperature swings between morning fog and afternoon sun stress components differently than inland areas. We stock parts for the brands most common in this area and understand how to optimize systems for local conditions.

Whether you need a quick fix to get through the weekend or you’re planning a complete system upgrade, we approach every job the same way – figure out what you actually need, price it fairly, and do the work right.

We typically respond to emergency calls within 2-4 hours, often sooner during business hours. For true emergencies – like no heat during cold snaps or no AC during heat waves – we prioritize same-day service. We understand that HVAC failures don’t wait for convenient times, especially in Mill Valley where temperature swings can be dramatic. Our emergency service covers evenings and weekends because your comfort can’t wait until Monday morning.
Repair costs vary based on the specific problem, but we always provide upfront pricing before starting work. Simple fixes like thermostat issues or clogged filters might run $150-300. More complex repairs involving major components typically range from $400-1200. We’ll diagnose the problem first, explain what needs to be done, and give you a firm price. No hidden fees or surprise charges after the work is complete. If multiple solutions exist, we’ll explain the options and costs for each.
Age is the biggest factor – systems over 15 years old with major component failures often make more sense to replace than repair. If your repair costs are approaching 50% of a new system’s cost, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Other signs include frequent breakdowns, dramatically higher energy bills, or inability to maintain comfortable temperatures. We’ll assess your specific situation honestly and explain both repair and replacement options with realistic cost projections for each.
Yes, we work on all major HVAC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and others commonly found in Mill Valley homes. Our technicians stay current on training for different manufacturers and we stock parts for the most common systems in the area. Even if you have an older or less common brand, we can usually source parts and provide effective repairs. We’ll let you know upfront if we encounter a system we can’t service properly.
Our maintenance includes cleaning and inspecting all major components, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, and replacing filters. We also check ductwork for leaks, calibrate thermostats, and test safety controls. You’ll receive a detailed report of what we found and recommendations for any issues that need attention. Regular maintenance typically prevents 80% of common breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently, which is especially important in Mill Valley’s demanding climate conditions.
Yes, Sugar Bear Home Services is fully licensed and insured to perform HVAC work in California and Marin County. Our technicians hold current HVAC licenses and we carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. This protects both you and our team during any work on your property. We can provide proof of licensing and insurance upon request, and we pull proper permits when required for installations or major system modifications.
