You wake up to consistent temperatures throughout your home, no matter what California’s weather throws at you. Your energy bills drop because your new system actually works efficiently instead of fighting against itself.
No more calling in sick because your home office became unbearable. No more worrying about your system breaking down during the next heatwave.
Your new HVAC installation means reliable comfort, predictable costs, and one less thing to stress about. The system runs quietly in the background while you focus on what matters most to you.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been solving heating and cooling problems for Freeport Manor residents who need systems that actually work. We understand how California’s energy costs impact your monthly budget and how equipment failures disrupt your daily routine.
We aren’t here to sell you the most expensive option. We’re here to install the right system for your home’s specific needs and your family’s comfort requirements.
We’ve seen what happens when HVAC companies cut corners or oversize systems to inflate prices. That’s why we focus on proper sizing, quality installation, and honest pricing that makes sense for your situation.
First, we come to your home and actually measure everything. We calculate your home’s heating and cooling load using Manual J calculations, not guesswork. This determines the right system size for your space.
Next, we walk you through your options with transparent pricing for each choice. We explain the differences between efficiency ratings, what rebates you qualify for, and how each system will impact your monthly energy costs.
Installation day means our licensed technicians arrive on time with all the equipment and permits already handled. We remove your old system, install the new one properly, and test everything before we leave. You get a system that’s sized right, installed correctly, and ready to keep you comfortable for years.

Your HVAC installation includes the complete system – furnace, air conditioner, and all necessary components properly sized for your home. We handle permits, removal of your old equipment, and professional installation by licensed technicians.
In California’s climate, you need a system that can handle both heating and cooling efficiently. We install high-SEER units that qualify for state rebates and federal tax credits, potentially saving you thousands on your initial investment.
Your installation also includes proper ductwork assessment and modifications if needed. Many homes in Freeport Manor have older ductwork that leaks conditioned air, wasting energy and money. We identify these issues and fix them so your new system operates at peak efficiency from day one.
HVAC installation in California typically ranges from $6,500 to $15,000 for most homes, depending on system size, efficiency rating, and installation complexity. A standard 3-ton, 16 SEER system with professional installation costs between $6,465 and $7,793 including labor and materials.
The final cost depends on your home’s size, existing ductwork condition, and the efficiency level you choose. Higher SEER ratings cost more upfront but save significantly on monthly energy bills. California homeowners can also access rebates up to $8,000 for qualifying energy-efficient systems, reducing your out-of-pocket costs.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Most residential HVAC installations in Freeport Manor take 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement, or 1-2 days if ductwork modifications are needed. We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine and always complete the work in the timeframe we promise.
The timeline depends on several factors: removing your old system, installing the new equipment, connecting electrical and gas lines, and testing everything for proper operation. If your home needs new ductwork or electrical upgrades, this adds time but ensures your system operates safely and efficiently.
We handle all permits and inspections as part of the installation process. Our goal is to have your new system running perfectly before we leave, not to rush through the job and leave you with problems later.
The right HVAC system size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window placement, and California’s specific climate requirements. Most homes in our area need between 2.5 to 4 tons of cooling capacity, but proper sizing requires professional calculation, not guesswork.
We perform Manual J load calculations during your consultation to determine exactly what size system will keep your home comfortable without wasting energy. An oversized system cycles on and off too frequently, increasing wear and reducing efficiency. An undersized system runs constantly but never reaches your desired temperature.
California’s average summer temperatures around 92°F require properly sized systems to maintain comfort without driving up energy costs. We factor in your home’s specific characteristics to recommend the most efficient system for your needs and budget.
Yes, we handle all permits and inspections required for HVAC installation in Freeport Manor and throughout California. This includes pulling the necessary permits before installation begins and scheduling required inspections to ensure your system meets all local building codes and safety standards.
Permit costs typically range from $100 to $300 and are included in our installation pricing. We never start work without proper permits because unpermitted work can create problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims.
Our licensed technicians know California’s building codes and safety requirements. We ensure your installation passes inspection the first time, avoiding delays and additional costs. This protects you and ensures your new system operates safely and legally.
California offers substantial rebates for energy-efficient HVAC installations. Income-qualified homeowners can receive up to $8,000 for heat pump installations, while middle-income households qualify for up to $4,000. Federal tax credits are also available for ENERGY STAR certified systems.
Utility companies often provide additional rebates for high-efficiency equipment. These incentives change regularly, so we stay current on available programs and help you apply for every rebate you qualify for. The savings can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket installation costs.
We handle the paperwork and applications for manufacturer rebates and help you understand which federal tax credits apply to your situation. Taking advantage of these programs can make a high-efficiency system cost less than a standard efficiency model after incentives.
Signs your HVAC system needs replacement include frequent repairs, rising energy bills, uneven temperatures throughout your home, and age over 15 years. If your system struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures or requires multiple service calls each year, replacement often costs less than continued repairs.
California’s high energy costs make efficiency crucial. Older systems with SEER ratings below 13 waste significant energy compared to modern 16+ SEER units. If your monthly cooling costs have increased despite similar usage, your system is likely losing efficiency and costing you money.
We provide honest assessments during service calls. If repairs will restore reliable operation, we’ll recommend fixing your current system. If replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll explain why and show you the long-term savings of upgrading to a more efficient system.
