Here's How We Handle Your Installation

We start with a proper assessment of your home’s cooling needs, measuring square footage, checking insulation, and evaluating your existing ductwork. This determines the right system size and type for your specific situation.

Installation day involves removing your old system, installing the new equipment, connecting all electrical and refrigerant lines, and testing everything thoroughly. We clean up completely and walk you through your new system’s operation before we leave.

How long does AC installation take in Pacifica homes?

Most residential AC installations in Pacifica take 4-8 hours depending on system complexity and home layout. Straightforward replacements where we’re swapping similar equipment typically finish faster. More complex installations involving ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or challenging access areas take longer. We provide realistic time estimates during your consultation so you can plan accordingly. Weather rarely affects installation timing since most work happens indoors, though we do schedule around Pacifica’s occasional heavy fog days when visibility becomes an issue for our technicians.

What size AC unit do I need for my Pacifica home?

AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, and Pacifica’s specific climate conditions. We perform detailed load calculations rather than using rough estimates because oversized units waste energy and undersized units can’t keep up. Pacifica’s moderate temperatures mean you might need less cooling capacity than inland areas, but higher humidity from marine layer affects comfort levels. Our technicians measure your space, evaluate insulation, and consider factors like sun exposure to determine the right system size for efficient operation and comfortable temperatures year-round.

Do you install ductless AC systems in Pacifica?

Yes, we install both ducted central air systems and ductless mini-split systems throughout Pacifica. Ductless systems work particularly well in older Pacifica homes without existing ductwork or for room additions where extending ducts isn’t practical. They’re also efficient for homes where you want different temperature zones. Mini-splits handle Pacifica’s climate well because they adjust output based on actual cooling needs rather than cycling on and off like traditional systems. We help you decide between ducted and ductless based on your home’s layout, existing infrastructure, and cooling preferences.

How much does AC installation cost in Pacifica?

AC installation costs in Pacifica typically range from $3,500 to $8,000 depending on system type, size, and installation complexity. Basic central air replacements cost less than complex installations requiring electrical upgrades or extensive ductwork modifications. High-efficiency systems cost more upfront but often qualify for utility rebates and save money long-term through lower energy bills. We provide detailed written estimates covering equipment, labor, permits, and any additional work needed. No surprise charges or hidden fees – you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.

What AC brands do you recommend for Pacifica's coastal climate?

We recommend AC brands that handle coastal conditions well, including salt air exposure and higher humidity levels common in Pacifica. Quality manufacturers like Carrier, Trane, and Lennox build systems with corrosion-resistant components that last longer near the ocean. We focus on reliability and efficiency rather than pushing specific brands, selecting equipment based on your budget, efficiency goals, and home requirements. All systems we install come with manufacturer warranties, and we only recommend brands with strong local parts availability and service support throughout the Bay Area.

Do you provide warranties on AC installation work?

Yes, we warranty our installation workmanship separately from manufacturer equipment warranties. Our labor warranty covers installation-related issues so you’re protected if problems arise from our work. Equipment warranties come directly from manufacturers and vary by brand and system type, typically covering parts for 5-10 years. We handle warranty registration and help coordinate any warranty service needed. We also provide ongoing support during your system’s break-in period to ensure everything operates properly and address any questions about your new AC system’s performance or operation.
