You get a system that works when you need it most. Your energy bills stay predictable instead of spiking randomly. Your home stays comfortable in every room, not just the one closest to the thermostat.
Most importantly, you avoid the headache of callbacks and repairs that happen when corners get cut during installation. When your system is sized correctly and installed properly, it runs efficiently for years without the constant problems that come from rushed or inexperienced work.
We’ve built our reputation by focusing on what actually matters: installing systems that work properly and last. We serve New Era Park and the broader Sacramento area because we understand California’s unique climate demands.
Our technicians are trained and experienced in handling everything from standard replacements to complex installations. We’re not the cheapest option, but we’re the one that gets it right the first time. That saves you money and frustration in the long run.
First, we do a proper load calculation to determine the right size system for your home. This isn’t guesswork—it’s based on your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, and California’s climate requirements.
Next, we handle all permits and ensure everything meets Title 24 requirements for ductwork sealing and efficiency. Our installation includes connecting all components properly, testing the system thoroughly, and having a HERS rater verify everything meets state standards.
Finally, we walk you through your new system’s operation and provide you with maintenance recommendations to keep your warranty valid and your system running efficiently.

Your installation includes proper system sizing based on Manual J load calculations, which considers your home’s specific needs rather than just square footage. We handle all permitting and ensure compliance with California’s Title 24 energy efficiency requirements.
In New Era Park’s climate, this means installing systems that can handle both the hot summers and cooler winters efficiently. We also ensure ductwork meets the state’s mandatory sealing requirements—installations with existing ducts must have 15% or less leakage, while new ductwork installations must achieve 6% or less.
Every installation includes HERS testing verification, proper refrigerant charging, and complete system startup with performance verification. You’ll also receive documentation for any available rebates, including California’s new heat pump rebates of up to $8,000 for qualifying homeowners.
Most HVAC installations take one to three days, depending on the complexity of your specific situation. A straightforward replacement of an existing system typically takes one full day.
If we’re installing new ductwork or modifying existing ducts to meet California’s efficiency requirements, that adds time. Complex installations with extensive ductwork changes or electrical upgrades can take up to a week. We’ll give you a clear timeline during our initial assessment so you know exactly what to expect and can plan accordingly.
California requires permits for all HVAC installations, and we handle this process for you. The permit ensures your installation meets Title 24 energy efficiency requirements and local building codes.
Part of the permit process includes mandatory ductwork testing by a certified HERS rater. This verifies that your ductwork meets California’s leakage standards—15% or less for existing duct systems, 6% or less for new ductwork. The HERS rater is an independent third party who tests and reports to the state and local building department. We coordinate all of this testing and ensure everything passes before the final inspection.
HVAC installation costs in California typically range from $6,500 to $12,000 for most homes, depending on system size, efficiency rating, and installation complexity. The average home in California needs about a 3.5-ton system.
Higher-efficiency systems cost more upfront but qualify for rebates. California currently offers up to $8,000 in rebates for qualifying homeowners installing heat pumps, and up to $4,000 for middle-income households. We help you navigate these rebate programs and factor them into your investment. The key is getting a system properly sized and installed—oversized or undersized systems waste money on energy bills for years.
System sizing requires a proper Manual J load calculation that considers your home’s specific characteristics—not just square footage. We factor in insulation levels, window types, ceiling height, home orientation, and California’s climate zone requirements.
The typical New Era Park home needs about 400-600 square feet per ton of cooling capacity, but this varies significantly based on your home’s construction and efficiency. An oversized system short-cycles and wastes energy while failing to properly dehumidify. An undersized system runs constantly and never achieves comfortable temperatures. We do the calculation properly so your system runs efficiently and keeps you comfortable year-round.
Yes, we provide same-day and emergency installation services when your system fails completely. We understand that HVAC emergencies don’t wait for convenient timing, especially during California’s extreme weather.
For emergency installations, we keep common system sizes in stock and can often complete same-day installation for standard replacements. More complex installations requiring permits and HERS testing take longer, but we prioritize emergency calls and work with local inspectors to expedite the process. We also offer temporary solutions to keep you comfortable while permanent installation is completed.
Regular maintenance is essential for warranty compliance and system efficiency. Most manufacturers require annual professional maintenance to keep warranties valid—skip this and you’re responsible for repair costs.
Basic maintenance includes changing filters regularly, annual tune-ups, and keeping outdoor units clear of debris. In California’s climate, we recommend professional service twice yearly—once before cooling season and once before heating season. This prevents most breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently. We offer maintenance plans that include priority service, discounts on repairs, and automatic scheduling so you don’t have to remember.
