ArcticPoint HVAC Repair serves homeowners in Ben Lomond, the unincorporated Santa Cruz County community about 19 miles southwest of our San Jose base. We handle heating and cooling repair, new system installation, routine maintenance, duct cleaning and indoor air quality work for homes in the 95005 ZIP code. Homes in the hills west of the Santa Clara Valley often place different demands on heating and cooling equipment than houses on the valley floor, and we plan our work around that. If your heat or air conditioning quits outside business hours, we offer 24/7 emergency service.
Heating Is Often the Priority in Ben Lomond
Down in the Santa Clara Valley, winters are mild and damp. Ben Lomond sits in hilly, wooded country, and many homes there rely on their heating system through more of the year. When a furnace or heat pump is working that hard, small problems tend to show up as bigger ones: a weak igniter, a clogged filter or a failing blower motor can leave a house cold overnight.
We repair gas furnaces, heat pumps and ductless systems. On a repair visit, we look for the cause, explain what we found in plain terms and go over your options before starting any work. If a system is near the end of its life, we will tell you so and help you weigh whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your home.
Cooling for Warm Summer Stretches
Summers in this part of California are dry, and warm spells still reach into the hills. Many older homes in the area were built without central air. Others have ductwork that was sized only for heating. That can make adding cooling less straightforward than it is in a newer valley home.
Ductless mini-splits are often a good fit for these houses. They need no ductwork, they can cool and heat individual rooms, and they work well for additions, converted garages and upstairs bedrooms that never stay comfortable. For homes with usable ducts, a central AC system or a ducted heat pump may be the better choice. We look at your house as it is before recommending either one.

Heat Pumps, Incentives and Local Rules
Many homeowners are now asking whether to replace an aging furnace with a heat pump. A heat pump provides both heating and cooling from one system. That can be a practical upgrade for a home that has never had air conditioning.
If you are counting on a federal tax credit, be aware that the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit covered qualifying heat pumps placed in service before December 31, 2025. It is not available for new installations after that date. Local electrification incentives may still be offered through your clean energy provider or regional programs. Amounts and availability change by funding cycle, so we confirm the current offer before including it in a quote.
You may have heard about the Bay Area Air District's furnace and water heater rules. Those rules are tied to that district, so check which air district covers your property before you plan around them. We are glad to help you sort out what applies to your address.
Keeping Your System and Air Healthy
Damp winters and wooded surroundings can affect how a system runs. Filters may load up faster, outdoor units can collect leaves and debris, and moisture can find its way into ductwork. A regular maintenance visit lets us clean key parts, check electrical connections and safety controls, and catch wear before it leads to a breakdown in cold weather.
If your home feels stuffy or dusty, or some rooms never feel right, duct cleaning and indoor air quality upgrades can help. We also serve nearby Scotts Valley, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Monte Sereno and Campbell.
