You know what it’s like when your AC can’t keep up with Penryn’s summer heat. The house gets stuffy, energy bills skyrocket, and you’re left wondering if you’ll ever be comfortable again.
When we install your new AC system, that changes. Your home maintains the perfect temperature even during those brutal July afternoons. You walk into consistent, reliable cooling that actually reaches every corner of your property.
The difference isn’t just comfort—it’s peace of mind. No more wondering if your system will fail when you need it most.
We’ve been serving Penryn homeowners who understand that cookie-cutter solutions don’t work here. Your 3-acre property with that south-facing addition needs different cooling than your neighbor’s ranch-style home.
We’ve installed systems in everything from historic Penryn homes to modern builds near the orange groves. Each installation starts with understanding your specific property, your cooling needs, and your budget.
That’s why our load calculations are thorough and our recommendations are honest. We’re not here to oversell you on equipment you don’t need.
We start with a complete assessment of your property. This means looking at your home’s layout, insulation, windows, and how the Penryn heat affects different areas throughout the day.
Next comes proper sizing. We run load calculations to determine exactly what capacity you need. Too small and you’ll never stay cool. Too large and you’ll waste money on energy bills while dealing with humidity issues.
Installation day is efficient and clean. We handle permits, ensure local code compliance, and test everything before we leave. You get a walkthrough of your new system and straight answers to any questions you have.

Penryn properties often need flexible cooling solutions. That addition you built five years ago. The workshop that gets blazing hot by afternoon. The main house that needs different temperatures in different zones.
Mini split systems excel here because they give you control where you need it. Cool your bedroom to 72 degrees while keeping the living room at 76. Run cooling in your home office without wasting energy on unused bedrooms.
For larger central systems, we focus on high-efficiency units that handle Penryn’s climate without driving up your PG&E bills. Proper ductwork design ensures even cooling throughout your property, and smart thermostats give you control whether you’re home or away.
System sizing depends on multiple factors specific to your property and Penryn’s climate. We look at your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, and how many south-facing rooms you have.
A typical 2,000 square foot Penryn home usually needs a 3-4 ton system, but that can vary significantly. Homes with large windows, high ceilings, or poor insulation may need larger capacity. Properties with good insulation and strategic window coverings often need less.
We always perform professional load calculations rather than guessing based on square footage alone. This ensures your system runs efficiently and keeps you comfortable during those 95+ degree summer days.
AC installation costs in Penryn typically range from $5,000 to $12,000 for most homes, depending on system size and complexity. High-efficiency systems or homes requiring ductwork modifications can cost more.
Mini split systems often cost less upfront, especially for homes without existing ductwork. A single-zone mini split might run $3,000-$5,000 installed, while multi-zone systems for larger properties can reach $8,000-$15,000.
California rebates can significantly reduce your cost. Income-qualified homeowners may receive up to $8,000 in rebates for energy-efficient heat pump installations. We help you navigate available incentives to maximize your savings.
The choice depends on your Penryn property’s layout and your cooling priorities. Mini splits excel for homes without existing ductwork, additions, or when you want zone control for different areas.
Central AC makes sense for whole-house cooling when you have (or can install) ductwork. It’s often more cost-effective for cooling entire homes and provides consistent temperatures throughout.
Many Penryn homeowners choose hybrid approaches—central AC for main living areas and mini splits for specific zones like workshops, additions, or master bedrooms. We assess your property and recommend the most efficient, cost-effective solution for your specific needs.
Most AC installations in Penryn take 1-2 days, depending on system complexity and your property’s specific requirements. Simple system replacements often complete in one day, while new installations with ductwork may take 2-3 days.
Mini split installations are typically faster—often completed in 4-8 hours for single zones. Multi-zone systems may take 1-2 days depending on how many indoor units we’re installing throughout your property.
We handle all permits and inspections, which can add a few days to the overall timeline but doesn’t affect your comfort. We coordinate everything so you’re not dealing with multiple appointments or waiting around for inspectors.
Yes, we handle all permitting and ensure your installation meets Penryn’s local building codes. This includes electrical permits if your system requires upgraded service, and mechanical permits for the AC installation itself.
Permit costs typically range from $200-$500 depending on system size and complexity. We include permit fees in your installation quote so there are no surprise costs later.
We also coordinate required inspections and ensure everything passes the first time. This protects you from potential issues and ensures your warranty remains valid. Proper permitting is especially important for insurance claims and future home sales.
Your new AC system needs professional maintenance twice yearly—spring tune-ups before cooling season and fall check-ups before heating season. This keeps your warranty valid and prevents most common problems.
Between professional visits, you should change filters monthly during heavy use periods and keep outdoor units clear of debris. Penryn’s dusty conditions during dry months can clog filters faster than in other areas.
Regular maintenance typically costs $150-$200 per visit but saves money by preventing major repairs. Well-maintained systems also run more efficiently, keeping your energy bills lower throughout Penryn’s long cooling season.
