How we work
Our 3-Step HVAC Process
Whether it’s a new AC, a heat pump or a furnace, our process keeps the job organized, permitted and done right, with no surprises on price.
Step 01 · Discovery
Free Estimate Visit
Every replacement starts with a look at what you have and how the house feels: the equipment, the ductwork, the electrical panel and the rooms that run hot or cold.
On-site look
A technician checks your system, ducts and panel, asks how you use the house, and answers your questions on the spot.
What we review
- Age and condition of the system
- Load calculation for sizing
- Duct leaks and airflow
- Electrical panel capacity
- Rebates for your utility
A clear price
You get written options with prices, usually including a repair-or-replace answer. No pressure to decide that day.
Step 02 · Plan & Permit
Plan It and Pull the Permit
Once you say go, we lock in the details so install day runs smoothly: equipment, permit, rebate paperwork and a date that works for you.
Equipment and scope
We confirm the system, the thermostat, any duct work and exactly what is included.
Paperwork handled
- Permit from your city or county
- HERS verification scheduled
- SMUD rebate filing when eligible
- Equipment ordered
Confirmed before we start
You know the install date, how long you will be without heating or cooling, and what to expect.
Step 03 · Install
Install, Test and Hand Off
Our NATE-certified technicians install the system, test it, and meet the HERS rater and the inspector.
Clean installation
Old equipment removed and recycled, refrigerant lines and drains run neatly, and the work area left clean.
Testing and inspection
- Refrigerant charge and airflow
- Duct leakage test
- Carbon monoxide check on gas equipment
- City or county final inspection
Walkthrough
We set up the thermostat, show you the filter, and explain the warranty registration. If something comes up later, you know who to call.
