“We had an erratic furnace lighting situation a couple weeks ago. Both David and Eric came out to diagnose and fix the problem which turned out to be a clogged moisture drain trap. They came on time, mindful of making sure they kept things clean, clearly explained the situation, and were both courteous and pleasant to interact with. Would not hesitate to recommend.”

FAQs

Find answers to common questions about our HVAC services and pricing.

How much does AC installation cost in Pleasanton, CA?

Most residential AC installations in Pleasanton range from $5,000–$12,000 depending on system size, efficiency rating, and whether ductwork modifications are needed. Ductless mini-split installs typically start around $3,000–$7,000 per zone. We provide free, detailed estimates so you know exactly what you're paying before any work begins.

What size AC system does my home need?

Sizing depends on your home's square footage, insulation, ceiling height, window exposure, and local climate. We perform a proper Manual J load calculation — not a rough estimate — to ensure your new system is sized correctly. An oversized unit short-cycles and wears out faster. An undersized one runs constantly. We get it right.

Do you remove and dispose of the old system?

Yes. We handle full removal and disposal of your existing equipment as part of every installation — no extra charge.

What brands do you install?

We specialize in Lennox® as an Authorized Comfort Specialist, with access to their full product line and exclusive promotions. We also install other leading brands — we'll recommend what's best for your home and budget.

How long does AC installation take in Pleasanton?

Most standard central AC installations are completed in one day. Ductless mini-split installations typically take 4–8 hours depending on the number of zones. We handle permits, equipment delivery, installation, and cleanup — you come home to a working system.

Will a new AC system reduce my energy bills?

Yes. Modern high-efficiency systems can reduce cooling energy consumption by up to 40% compared to systems that are 10–15 years old. Lennox® systems with high SEER2 ratings deliver significant long-term savings, especially during Tri-Valley summers.

What rebates are available for AC installation in Pleasanton?

PG&E offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency systems, and the federal Inflation Reduction Act provides tax credits on qualifying heat pump installations. The amount varies by system and changes periodically. We help you identify every available incentive before you commit.
