Cooling and air conditioning services for the Bay Area

When the Bay Area heats up, OTTER HVAC keeps homes and light commercial spaces cool. We install and repair central air conditioners, ductless mini-splits, rooftop package units, VRF systems, and heat pumps used for cooling.

Repairs start with a $69 diagnostic. New cooling installations include a free estimate and refrigerant charge verification under real operating conditions.

Typical cooling issues we diagnose: weak cooling, frozen coils, short cycling, strange noises, thermostat faults, and systems that need refrigerant every summer—usually a leak, not a “top-off.”
