Heating & cooling in Mountain View
Every floor comfortable. Not just the one with the thermostat.
UrbanFlare repairs, maintains and replaces heating and cooling for Mountain View homes and businesses — and specialises in the tall townhomes and multi-floor buildings where the top floor never quite cools.
- Top floor: too warmUnder the roof, where the heat rises.
- Middle floor: fineWhere the thermostat usually is.
- Ground floor: coolNext to the garage and the air handler.
Who we work for
Homes and businesses on the Peninsula.
For your workplace.
Offices, co-working spaces, shops and restaurants downtown and along El Camino. Rooftop and split systems serviced and replaced, and upper floors balanced so the top office isn't the hot one.

The comfort check
We measure every floor before we suggest anything.
One visit: temperatures and airflow on each floor, the thermostat location, the air handler and drain, the outdoor unit and its line. Then a plain answer — sometimes it's a setting or a damper, sometimes zoning, sometimes a small ductless head for the top floor.

Questions
Floors, thermostats and the rest.
Why is the top floor of my townhome always warmer?
Heat rises, the top floor sits under a sunny roof, and the thermostat is usually on the middle floor, so the system stops before the bedrooms cool. Balancing, zoning or a ductless head for the top floor are the usual fixes.
Do I need a new system to fix it?
Often not. A better thermostat location, adjusted dampers or zoning can fix much of it. We measure every floor first and suggest the smallest fix that works.
What is zoning?
Separate thermostats for different floors or areas, with dampers in the ducts that send air where it is needed. One system, controlled floor by floor.
Do you work on businesses as well as homes?
Yes. Offices, co-working spaces, shops, clinics and restaurants: rooftop and split systems, multi-floor balancing, IT rooms and maintenance plans.
Does UrbanFlare do interior design?
No. Interiors is part of the business name, not the trade. UrbanFlare does heating, ventilation and air conditioning only.
