You’re tired of watching your electric bill climb every summer while your AC struggles to keep up. California’s energy rates are already 88% higher than the national average, and an inefficient system just makes it worse.
The right HVAC installation changes everything. You’ll actually feel comfortable in your own home, even during those 90+ degree days. Your monthly bills drop because modern systems use up to 75% less energy than older units.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing your system was sized correctly for your home and installed by professionals who understand California’s climate demands.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been serving Centralia homeowners who need reliable heating and cooling solutions. We understand that California’s Climate Region 4 demands more from your HVAC system than most places.
Your neighbors trust us because we don’t oversell or push unnecessary upgrades. We size systems properly, explain your options clearly, and stand behind our work with real warranties.
When other contractors disappear after installation, we’re still here. Centralia is our community, and your comfort is our reputation.
First, we calculate your home’s actual heating and cooling needs. No guessing, no oversizing to boost our profits. We measure your square footage, check insulation, and consider Centralia’s specific climate requirements.
Next, we explain your options and help you understand available rebates. California offers up to $8,000 in rebates for qualifying homeowners, and we handle the paperwork.
Installation day means professional work from start to finish. We protect your home, install everything to code, test the system thoroughly, and clean up completely. You get a system that’s properly sized, correctly installed, and ready to handle whatever Centralia’s weather brings.

Your HVAC installation includes proper system sizing, professional installation, and connection to existing ductwork or new ductwork if needed. We install high-efficiency systems that qualify for California’s energy rebates.
In Centralia’s climate, you need about 42,000 BTUs for an average 1,860 square foot home. But every home is different, and we calculate your exact needs rather than guessing. This prevents the oversizing that wastes energy and the undersizing that leaves you uncomfortable.
Modern heat pump systems work as both heating and air conditioning, perfect for Centralia’s moderate winters and hot summers. With California’s electricity rates, the energy savings add up fast – often paying for the system upgrade within a few years.
HVAC installation costs in Centralia typically range from $6,500 to $12,000 for a complete system, depending on your home’s size and the efficiency level you choose. California’s average home needs about a 3.5-ton system.
The price includes equipment, professional installation, permits, and startup. Higher efficiency systems cost more upfront but save significantly on monthly energy bills given California’s high electricity rates. Many homeowners qualify for rebates up to $8,000, which can offset much of the installation cost.
We provide detailed estimates with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start work.
Most Centralia homes need between 2.5 to 4 tons of cooling capacity, but the exact size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, and layout. California’s Climate Region 4 classification means you need more cooling capacity than homes in milder climates.
We never guess at sizing. Our technicians perform detailed load calculations that consider your home’s specific characteristics. This prevents the oversizing that wastes energy and money, and the undersizing that leaves you uncomfortable during peak summer heat.
Proper sizing is crucial for efficiency and comfort. An oversized system cycles on and off too frequently, while an undersized system runs constantly without reaching your desired temperature.
Most HVAC installations in Centralia take 1-2 days for a complete system replacement. If you need new ductwork or electrical upgrades, it might take an additional day.
We schedule installation when it’s convenient for you and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our crews arrive on time, protect your home during work, and clean up completely when finished.
Weather rarely delays indoor installation work, but we’ll communicate any schedule changes immediately. You’ll have cool air flowing the same day we complete installation, not days later.
California homeowners can receive up to $8,000 in rebates for energy-efficient heat pump installations through the state’s HEEHRA program. Income-qualified homeowners with less than 80% area median income get up to $8,000, while those between 80-150% AMI qualify for up to $4,000.
These rebates apply to heat pump HVAC systems that provide both heating and cooling. The systems must meet specific efficiency requirements, which most modern installations do. We help you navigate the application process and ensure your system qualifies.
Additional utility rebates may be available depending on your specific location and energy provider. We stay current on all available incentives and help you maximize your savings.
We provide complete HVAC services including installation, repair, and maintenance for all major brands and system types. Whether you need a new installation, emergency repair, or routine maintenance, we handle it all.
Our service includes heat pumps, central air systems, furnaces, and ductless mini-split systems. We work on residential systems of all sizes and can service most brands, even if we didn’t originally install them.
Regular maintenance extends your system’s life and maintains efficiency. We offer maintenance agreements that include priority service, discounted repairs, and the peace of mind that comes with professional care.
We’ve built our reputation on honest recommendations, professional installation, and standing behind our work. Unlike companies that push oversized systems or unnecessary upgrades, we focus on what actually works best for your home and budget.
Our technicians understand Centralia’s specific climate requirements and size systems accordingly. We handle rebate paperwork, provide detailed estimates with no surprises, and guarantee our installation work.
Most importantly, we’re local. When you need service or have questions, we’re here in your community, not in some distant call center. Your comfort and satisfaction directly impact our reputation with your neighbors.
