Pasadena HVAC FAQ
Does my HVAC need cleaning after the Eaton Fire?
If your system ran during smoke events, have the filter replaced and the coil and ducts inspected. Ash can affect airflow and indoor air.
How do I cool a Pasadena Craftsman without ducts?
Ductless mini-splits or small-duct high-velocity systems avoid major changes to historic interiors.
