Your energy bills drop within the first month. No more adjusting the thermostat every hour or dealing with rooms that never get comfortable. Your system works quietly in the background while you focus on everything else.
That’s what happens when HVAC installation is done right the first time. Proper sizing means efficient operation. Professional ductwork means no wasted energy. Title 24 compliance means no failed inspections or expensive do-overs.
You get a system that actually delivers the comfort and savings you expected when you decided to upgrade.
We carry an active C-20 license and know exactly what California’s Title 24 energy code requires. We’ve guided hundreds of New Brighton homeowners through permit processes, HERS testing, and efficiency requirements that trip up inexperienced contractors.
When your neighbor’s installation fails inspection because someone cut corners on duct sealing, you’ll appreciate working with contractors who understand the details. We handle permits from start to finish and coordinate all required testing.
California’s HVAC regulations change regularly. We stay current so your installation meets today’s standards, not yesterday’s shortcuts.
We start by evaluating your home’s actual heating and cooling needs. Not just square footage, but insulation, windows, layout, and how you use your space. This determines proper equipment sizing that delivers efficiency instead of energy waste.
Permit applications and HERS rater coordination happen before installation begins. You don’t deal with building departments or scheduling conflicts. We manage the paperwork and timeline so everything flows smoothly from approval to final inspection.
Installation day means protecting your floors, working efficiently, and cleaning up completely. We test every component before leaving and walk you through your new system’s operation. No callbacks needed because we get it right the first time.

Every installation includes load calculations that determine your home’s exact heating and cooling requirements. Most contractors guess at sizing, leading to oversized equipment that wastes energy and undersized systems that can’t maintain comfort.
Professional duct sealing ensures your system meets California’s strict leakage standards. New Brighton homes built before 2006 often have ductwork losing 30-40% of conditioned air, but our installations consistently pass Title 24 testing on first inspection.
Smart thermostat integration comes standard because it saves money and adds convenience you’ll actually use. Remote control, energy tracking, and scheduling that adapts to New Brighton’s variable weather patterns. Technology that works for you instead of against you.
Complete system replacement typically runs $8,000-$15,000 in New Brighton, depending on your home’s size, existing ductwork condition, and equipment efficiency ratings. This covers equipment, professional installation, permits, and required HERS testing that ensures Title 24 compliance.
Higher efficiency systems cost more upfront but qualify for California rebates and federal tax credits that reduce your net investment. Monthly energy savings often offset the difference within 2-3 years, especially when replacing older, inefficient equipment.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down equipment costs, labor, permits, and testing fees. No hidden charges or surprise costs that appear after work begins. You know exactly what you’re investing and what you’re getting.
California law requires permits for HVAC installations, and the process includes mandatory HERS testing to verify energy efficiency compliance. Attempting installation without permits creates legal liability and causes problems during home sales or insurance claims.
We handle all permit applications through New Brighton’s building department and coordinate required inspections. The process typically takes 1-3 weeks depending on current workload and project complexity. Our experience with local requirements prevents delays and ensures smooth approvals.
Proper permits guarantee your installation meets current safety codes and efficiency standards. California updates these requirements regularly, and permitted work ensures compliance with the latest regulations rather than outdated practices.
Heat pumps excel in New Brighton’s moderate temperatures and qualify for substantial California rebates through programs like TECH Clean California. They provide efficient heating and cooling while supporting the state’s electrification goals and reducing dependence on natural gas.
High-efficiency split systems also perform well when properly sized and installed with sealed ductwork. The key is matching equipment capacity to your home’s actual load requirements based on insulation, windows, and usage patterns rather than simple square footage calculations.
We analyze your specific home characteristics to recommend systems that maintain consistent comfort without energy waste. California’s Title 24 requirements actually ensure proper sizing instead of the oversized equipment that causes short cycling and inefficient operation.
Physical installation typically requires 1-2 days for standard replacements, but the complete process including permits and inspections spans 2-4 weeks. Homes requiring extensive ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades may need additional time for proper completion.
We schedule installation only after permits are approved and all materials are delivered, eliminating delays once work begins. HERS testing occurs after installation but before final inspection, and we coordinate this timing to prevent scheduling conflicts.
You’ll receive a detailed timeline showing permit processing, installation dates, and inspection schedules. Communication happens throughout the process so you’re never wondering about next steps or potential delays.
Equipment manufacturers provide warranties ranging from 5-12 years on different components, while our installation workmanship warranty covers labor and performance issues for two full years. If problems arise from installation quality, we resolve them at no additional cost.
Extended warranty options are available for homeowners wanting protection beyond standard manufacturer coverage. We also provide maintenance guidelines that preserve warranty validity and system efficiency throughout the equipment’s lifespan.
California’s strict installation standards actually benefit homeowners because properly installed systems experience fewer problems and last longer. Title 24 compliance requirements ensure quality workmanship that supports long-term reliability and efficiency.
We offer comprehensive repair services for all major HVAC brands and emergency service when systems fail during extreme weather. Our diagnostic approach identifies actual problems instead of recommending unnecessary repairs or premature replacements.
Preventive maintenance prevents most emergency breakdowns and maintains system efficiency that saves money monthly. Our maintenance plans include priority scheduling, repair discounts, and annual tune-ups that catch minor issues before they become expensive problems.
New Brighton’s seasonal temperature swings and dust levels require specific maintenance attention that generic service plans often overlook. Our local experience means we know what to check and when to prevent the most common system failures in this area.
