Your energy bills drop when your system actually fits your home. No more fighting with thermostats that can’t keep up or dealing with rooms that never cool down properly.
Professional sizing means your AC runs efficiently instead of constantly cycling on and off. You get consistent temperatures throughout your home without the massive utility bills that come with oversized or struggling systems.
The difference shows up immediately. Even temperatures in every room. Quieter operation. And monthly bills that don’t make you cringe when they arrive.
We at Hot & Cold HVAC understand what Parker Homes residents face during California’s intense summer months. We’ve been installing and servicing cooling systems in this area long enough to know exactly what works and what doesn’t.
Our technicians are trained on the specific challenges of California’s climate. We know how to properly size systems for homes that need to run efficiently during those 90+ degree stretches that seem to last forever.
Every installation includes proper load calculations, transparent pricing, and warranties that actually protect your investment. No surprises, no upselling, just professional work done right the first time.
We start with an honest assessment of your home’s cooling needs. This includes proper measurements, load calculations, and a clear explanation of what system will work best for your specific situation.
Installation day means professional technicians who show up on time and prepared. For mini split systems, we only need to drill one small hole to connect indoor and outdoor units. Central systems require more extensive work, but we protect your home and clean up completely.
After installation, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through your new system’s operation. You get manufacturer warranties, our service guarantee, and clear instructions on maintenance that keeps everything running efficiently.

Every AC installation includes proper system sizing, professional installation, complete testing, and warranty coverage. We handle permits, electrical connections, and all the technical details that determine whether your system works properly for years to come.
Parker Homes residents benefit from our understanding of California’s energy efficiency requirements and rebate programs. We help you navigate available incentives that can reduce your installation costs significantly.
Your installation includes comprehensive system commissioning, customer education on optimal operation, and follow-up service to ensure peak performance from day one. No cutting corners, no rushing through the job, just professional work that delivers the comfort you’re paying for.
AC installation costs in Parker Homes typically range from $6,000 to $25,000 depending on system type, home size, and installation complexity. Mini split systems generally cost between $8,000 and $25,000 for multi-zone installations, while traditional central air systems vary based on ductwork requirements.
The final cost depends on your home’s specific needs, the system’s efficiency rating, and any necessary electrical or structural modifications. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins.
California residents may qualify for significant rebates that reduce these costs. Income-qualified homeowners can receive up to $8,000 in rebates, while middle-income households may qualify for up to $4,000 in incentives for energy-efficient installations.
Mini split systems require minimal installation disruption, needing only a small hole drilled through your wall to connect indoor and outdoor units. They’re perfect for homes without existing ductwork or for adding cooling to specific rooms without extending your current system.
Central AC installation involves more extensive work, including ductwork installation or modification, electrical connections, and integration with your home’s existing systems. This typically takes longer and costs more upfront but provides whole-home cooling through a single system.
Mini splits offer zone control, allowing you to cool only occupied rooms and potentially saving 30-50% on energy costs. They also operate much quieter since the compressor stays outside, and installation usually takes just one day compared to 2-3 days for central systems.
Most AC installations in Parker Homes take 1-3 days depending on system type and home complexity. Mini split installations typically complete in one day since they don’t require extensive ductwork modifications.
Central AC installations take longer, especially if we need to install or modify ductwork, upgrade electrical panels, or work around challenging home layouts. We’ll provide a clear timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Weather can occasionally impact outdoor work, but California’s climate rarely causes significant delays. We schedule installations efficiently and keep you informed if any adjustments become necessary during the process.
Yes, AC installations in California require proper permits to ensure safety and code compliance. Permit costs typically range from $100-$250 for replacement systems and $250-$1,500 for new installations with ductwork.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. This includes coordinating with local building departments, ensuring all work meets California’s energy efficiency standards, and scheduling required inspections.
Proper permits protect you by ensuring installations meet safety codes and manufacturer warranty requirements. Unpermitted work can create problems with insurance claims, home sales, and system warranties, so we never skip this crucial step.
Proper AC sizing requires professional load calculations that consider your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window placement, ceiling height, and California’s specific climate conditions. Rules of thumb like “one ton per 500 square feet” often lead to problems.
Oversized systems cycle on and off frequently, waste energy, and fail to remove humidity properly. Undersized systems run constantly without achieving comfortable temperatures, leading to higher bills and premature equipment failure.
We perform detailed load calculations for every installation, ensuring your system matches your home’s actual cooling requirements. This typically means better comfort, lower energy bills, and longer equipment life compared to systems sized using outdated methods.
California offers substantial rebates for energy-efficient AC installations through state and utility programs. Income-qualified homeowners can receive up to $8,000 in rebates, while households earning between 80-150% of area median income qualify for up to $4,000.
These rebates apply specifically to high-efficiency heat pump systems that provide both heating and cooling. The programs launched in 2024 and are designed to help California residents reduce energy costs while supporting the state’s climate goals.
We help you navigate available rebate programs and ensure your installation qualifies for maximum incentives. This includes proper documentation, efficiency requirements, and coordination with rebate processing to minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
