About South Pasadena homes
South Pasadena is a small, walkable city of older homes and apartments under a dense tree canopy. Shade helps in summer, but most houses date from before 1960, so original ductwork, wall furnaces and undersized electrical panels are common starting points.
South Pasadena packs a lot of old housing into a small city. Craftsman bungalows and 1910s to 1930s revival houses fill most residential streets, with hillside homes from the 1960s and 1970s in Altos de Monterey. Apartments and condos cluster near Mission Street and Fair Oaks Avenue. A dense street-tree canopy shades much of the city.
That shade keeps summer loads lower than in the Valley, but older houses bring their own problems. Many still heat with wall furnaces or floor furnaces, and cooling, where it exists, was added later with ducts run through tight attics or crawl spaces. Electrical services in older houses are often small, which limits new equipment. Leaves and seed pods from the canopy collect in condensers and gutters.
We start with what the house can take without damage. Ductless heat pumps suit homes without ducts and avoid cutting plaster. Raised foundations allow ducts below the floor where a ducted system makes sense. Panel capacity gets checked before any quote, since a heat pump may need more service than an old house has.
Many South Pasadena houses have detached garages at the back of the lot, which can hold an outdoor unit away from the street and neighbors. Craftsman houses with raised floors and ventilated crawl spaces can take ducts below the floor. Panel upgrades here need coordination with SCE for the new service connection, which we schedule.
5-minute check
Before you call: AC blowing warm air?
- Thermostat on Cool Set it a few degrees below room temperature, and replace its batteries if the screen is faint.
- Swap a dirty filter A gray, clogged filter starves airflow and can freeze the indoor coil.
- Reset the breaker once If the AC breaker trips again, leave it off and call us.
