You’re tired of $200+ summer electric bills and rooms that never quite get cool enough. A properly sized and installed AC system cuts your energy costs while delivering consistent comfort throughout your home.
Modern systems run 40% more efficiently than older units, which means real savings every month. No more choosing between comfort and affordability—you get both with the right installation.
Your family deserves to sleep comfortably and live normally, even during Sacramento’s brutal heat waves. That’s exactly what happens when your system is matched to your home’s specific needs.

First, we assess your home’s layout, insulation, and cooling needs to recommend the right system size and type. No guesswork—just proper calculations that ensure your new AC actually cools your entire home efficiently.
Installation day means careful, professional work that protects your property. We handle all electrical connections, refrigerant lines, and ductwork modifications with precision. Most single-zone systems are completed in one day.
Before we leave, we test everything thoroughly—airflow, temperature consistency, and thermostat accuracy. You’ll know exactly how to operate your new system and what to expect for maintenance. Your comfort starts immediately.

Central air conditioning works well for whole-home cooling when you have existing ductwork. These systems distribute cool air evenly and handle Sacramento’s 100°F+ days without breaking a sweat.
Mini split systems excel when you need zone control or don’t have ducts. Install individual units in bedrooms, living areas, or home additions for personalized comfort. They’re whisper-quiet and incredibly energy efficient.
Both options include advanced filtration that removes dust, pollen, and allergens from your indoor air. Z’Berg Park’s tree-lined streets are beautiful, but the pollen can be tough on allergies—proper filtration helps your family breathe easier while staying cool.
AC installation in Sacramento typically ranges from $5,000 to $13,000, depending on your system type, home size, and installation complexity. Central air systems with existing ductwork fall toward the lower end, while whole-home installations requiring new ducts cost more.
Mini split systems offer a middle-ground option, especially for homes without existing ductwork. Single-zone units start around $3,000-$5,000, while multi-zone systems increase based on how many rooms you want to cool.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down equipment and labor costs clearly. No hidden fees, no surprise charges—just honest pricing so you can make informed decisions about your home’s comfort.
Proper AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, and ceiling height. A 2,000-square-foot Z’Berg Park home typically needs 2.5 to 4 tons of cooling capacity, but every house is different.
Undersized units run constantly and never cool properly. Oversized units cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and creating humidity problems. Professional load calculations ensure you get exactly the right capacity for efficient operation.
We measure your home, assess insulation levels, and calculate heat gain from windows and appliances. This scientific approach means your new system will cool effectively without wasting energy or money on oversized equipment.
Most AC installations complete in one to three days, depending on system complexity and any necessary modifications. Simple replacements with existing ductwork often finish in a single day, while new installations requiring ductwork take longer.
Mini split installations are typically faster since they don’t require extensive ductwork. Single-zone systems often complete in 4-6 hours, while multi-zone installations may take 1-2 days depending on how many indoor units you’re adding.
We schedule installations during cooler morning hours when possible and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. You’ll have cool comfort restored quickly, even during Sacramento’s hottest weather.
Central air works best when you have existing ductwork and want whole-home cooling from a single thermostat. It’s efficient for larger homes and provides consistent temperatures throughout your living space.
Mini splits excel when you need zone control, have rooms with different cooling needs, or lack existing ductwork. They’re perfect for home additions, converted garages, or families who prefer different temperatures in bedrooms versus living areas.
Both systems offer excellent energy efficiency and reliable cooling for Sacramento’s climate. We’ll assess your home’s layout, existing infrastructure, and family preferences to recommend the option that makes the most sense for your situation.
Yes, our technicians work with all major AC brands including Carrier, Bryant, Trane, Goodman, Rheem, and specialty manufacturers like Mitsubishi for mini split systems. We’re not locked into any single brand, which means honest recommendations based on your needs and budget.
Different brands excel in different areas—some offer better warranties, others focus on energy efficiency, and some provide the best value for budget-conscious homeowners. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option clearly.
Our goal is finding the right system for your home and family, not pushing any particular brand. Whether you prefer premium equipment with extended warranties or reliable mid-range units, we’ll install and service whatever works best for your situation.
Annual professional maintenance keeps your AC running efficiently and extends its lifespan significantly. This includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, and replacing filters as needed.
You can handle basic maintenance like changing filters monthly during peak season and keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris. Professional tune-ups catch potential problems early, preventing expensive repairs during Sacramento’s hottest weather.
Regular maintenance also maintains your manufacturer’s warranty coverage and ensures optimal energy efficiency. A well-maintained system uses less electricity, breaks down less frequently, and provides more consistent comfort for your family year-round.
