Heating and cooling in Newhall

Newhall is the oldest community in Santa Clarita, named for Henry Mayo Newhall, whose land company shaped much of the valley. Its historic core is Old Town Newhall along Main Street, close to William S. Hart Park, and its neighborhoods spread toward Placerita Canyon and the hills by the Newhall Pass, where I-5 and SR-14 come together.

That history shows in the houses. Newhall has a wider spread of home ages than most of Santa Clarita: older houses near Old Town, mid-century streets, and newer tracts on the hillsides. In older homes, heat may come from a wall or floor furnace, or from a forced-air furnace in a hall closet or garage that was added long after the house was built. Ductwork has often been patched, extended and rerouted as rooms were added.

So diagnosis matters more than usual. A cold bedroom may be a duct that came loose in a crawlspace or attic rather than a weak furnace; an air conditioner that keeps switching on and off may be an old indoor coil paired with a newer outdoor unit. We trace the problem to its cause before quoting anything.

Sitting low by the pass and the canyons, Newhall gets the valley’s summer heat, cold winter nights and gusty Santa Ana winds. Leaves and grit pile up around outdoor units, and older homes with gaps around doors, windows and ducts let more of that dust inside.
