Fast, Reliable Emergency & Commercial HVAC Across Los Gatos
When your furnace quits on a January night in the 95033 hills or your rooftop unit fails during a downtown Los Gatos lunch rush, you need a crew that shows up prepared. We’re Crestview Heating & Air California, and we’ve handled emergency and commercial calls across every corner of Los Gatos — from the Craftsman bungalows near the downtown core to the propane-heated estates off Summit Road. Our Emergency & Commercial HVAC team is led by owner Marcus Feldman, who still manages service calls personally. Nearly two decades in the trade means we carry the parts and know the local quirks that let us fix it in one trip, not two. Call (844) 560-6978.
Why Crestview Heating & Air California Is Los Gatos’s Preferred Emergency & Commercial HVAC Company
We’ve earned a 4.8-star average across 250+ customer reviews, and a healthy share of those come from Los Gatos homeowners and commercial property managers who found us after frustrating experiences elsewhere. What they tell us matters: they want someone who knows the difference between a valley-floor ranch in 95032 and a mountain estate in 95033, because the equipment and the problems are genuinely different.
Marcus Feldman doesn’t just own the company — he’s our Service Manager, which means ownership-level accountability shows up on every job. When you call about a no-heat emergency in Aldercroft Heights at 10 PM, you’re not getting a dispatcher reading from a script. You’re getting a decision-maker who can authorize the right parts and the right approach.
Our familiarity with Los Gatos’s dual climate zones saves time and prevents misdiagnosis. A technician who only works the Santa Clara Valley floor might walk into a propane furnace in the hills and treat it like a standard natural gas unit — wrong orifice, wrong pressure, potential combustion hazard. We’ve seen it happen. We don’t let it happen.
Our Emergency & Commercial HVAC Services in Los Gatos
24/7 Emergency HVAC
Emergencies don’t respect business hours, and in Los Gatos, they hit differently depending on where you live. A downtown 95030 brownstone with a failed heat pump on a 45-degree January night is uncomfortable. A Summit Road home at 1,500 feet with a propane furnace that won’t ignite and temperatures dropping below freezing is urgent. We respond to both, but we arrive equipped for the specific situation — LP orifices and manometer in the truck for the mountain calls, standard gas and electric components for the valley floor. Last winter, we responded to a no-heat emergency on Summit Road in the 95033 mountain zone. The homeowner reported his propane furnace failed to ignite; our tech found the LP conversion kit had a clogged orifice and incorrect manifold pressure. We replaced the orifice and adjusted pressure on-site using a manometer, restored heat that night, and advised on future maintenance for the propane system.
Commercial HVAC
Los Gatos’s commercial base runs from boutique retail along North Santa Cruz Avenue to professional offices and light industrial near Highway 17. Each building type carries different load profiles, and many of the older commercial spaces in the downtown core have been retrofitted multiple times, leaving a patchwork of equipment ages and control systems. We service packaged rooftop units, split systems, and VRF installations for small-to-mid-size commercial clients. Our 19 years of experience means we’ve worked on the legacy equipment still running in some of these buildings as well as the high-efficiency replacements that make sense for long-term occupancy.
Rooftop Unit Service
Rooftop units are common on Los Gatos commercial properties, particularly the low-rise office and retail buildings along major corridors. These units take a beating from sun exposure and, critically, from wildfire smoke during California’s extended fire seasons. Standard soffit and gable vents on older RTUs can allow smoke infiltration that contaminates coils and degrades indoor air quality. For properties in or near the WUI zones, we inspect and recommend ember-resistant venting and upgraded filtration that meets current local building and insurance requirements. A failed RTU on a Friday evening doesn’t have to mean a closed weekend — we stock common components for Carrier, Trane, and Lennox units to get cooling restored fast.
HVAC Inspection
Whether you’re buying a hillside estate with a multi-zone mini-split system or managing a commercial lease renewal downtown, an HVAC inspection by someone who knows Los Gatos’s specific conditions pays for itself. We document propane system integrity and proper manifold pressures in 95033. We verify that hillside homes meet WUI venting requirements. For commercial properties, we assess whether aging flex ductwork in 95032 ranch-style conversions can handle modern loads. Our inspections include written findings with prioritized recommendations, not vague hand-waving.

Trusted Brands We Service in Los Gatos
Your system, our specialty — that applies to what you’re running, not just where you live. We maintain factory-trained compatibility across nine major brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. For Los Gatos customers, this matters because many hillside custom homes spec Trane and Lennox variable-speed equipment, while the 1960s–70s ranch stock in 95032 often runs older Goodman or Rheem units that other shops decline to touch. We stock common parts locally for faster turnaround, and our familiarity with each brand’s failure patterns — a known Trane XV20i communication fault, a Lennox SureLight ignition module that fails predictably — lets us diagnose faster and fix right.
Common Emergency & Commercial HVAC Problems We See in Los Gatos Homes
- Propane furnace misdiagnosis in 95033: Standard gas-orifice swaps on LP furnaces cause combustion hazards without LP-specific parts and pressure adjustments. We’ve corrected work from valley-floor crews who didn’t know to check the manifold pressure or swap the orifice.
- Winter freeze on mountain estates: Low-ambient-rated heat pumps are essential for 95033’s sub-freezing nights; standard units lose capacity or freeze up. We spec and service cold-climate heat pumps and propane backup systems that actually work at elevation.
- Wildfire smoke infiltration through standard vents: WUI regulations require ember-resistant vents; standard soffit vents fail inspections and allow smoke entry during fire season. We upgrade venting and recommend appropriate filtration for homes in the hillside zones.
- Aging flex ductwork in 95032 ranches: The 1960s–70s subdivisions carry original flex duct that’s cracked, collapsed, or rodent-damaged. We replace with properly sized, sealed duct systems that match modern equipment airflow requirements.
Pricing for Emergency & Commercial HVAC in Los Gatos, CA
We believe in upfront numbers, not vague “call for pricing” runarounds. Here’s what typical service runs in the Los Gatos market:
| Service | Price Range in Los Gatos |

| AC Installation | $3,500–$7,500 |

What moves you within these ranges? Equipment age and accessibility matter — a rooftop unit on a downtown commercial building is straightforward; a propane furnace in a crawlspace on Summit Road takes longer. Parts availability for older Goodman or Rheem units can affect timing. After-hours emergency calls carry additional labor rates. We always provide written estimates before starting work, and estimates are free. Call (844) 560-6978 for your exact quote.

FAQs — Emergency & Commercial HVAC in Los Gatos
Yes. We carry LP-specific orifices, manometers, and conversion kit components for propane furnace repairs in the 95033 mountain zone. Our techs are trained on the different manifold pressures and combustion characteristics that propane systems require. Call (844) 560-6978 — we’ll confirm parts availability and head your way.
If your property falls within California’s Wildland-Urban Interface zone, yes — current building and insurance standards require ember-resistant soffit and gable vents, fire-rated whole-house fan dampers, and upgraded filtration. Standard vents will fail inspection and can allow smoke infiltration during fire season. We assess existing venting during service calls and can upgrade to compliant hardware.
Emergency commercial service is available for rooftop unit failures and other critical commercial HVAC problems. We stock common components for Carrier, Trane, and Lennox RTUs to minimize downtime. For after-hours commercial emergencies in Los Gatos, call (844) 560-6978 — we’ll prioritize based on occupancy and safety concerns.
Most furnace repairs in Los Gatos run $150–$700, with propane systems in the 95033 hills sometimes trending toward the higher end due to specialized parts and access challenges. A simple ignitor replacement on a valley-floor natural gas unit falls at the lower end; a heat exchanger diagnosis or LP manifold rebuild takes more time and materials. Call (844) 560-6978 for a free, exact quote.
Yes. Multi-zone mini-split systems are common in Los Gatos hillside custom homes and A-frame cabins, and we install, repair, and maintain Mitsubishi, Daikin, and other major brands. Vaulted ceilings require careful load calculation and proper indoor unit placement for effective air distribution — not a cookie-cutter approach. We’ve handled everything from single-zone additions to whole-home multi-zone replacements in the hills.
