"I recently had So Cal Boys replace my 27 year old furnace and install a new Lennox heat pump, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. George, the owner, was fantastic to work with--straightforward, honest, and genuinely down-to-earth. From the start, George explained all of my options clearly without any sales pressure. He took the time to answer my questions and helped me choose the right system for my home and budget. It was such a relief to talk to someone who actually listens and gives real advice, not a sales pitch. The installation was done quickly and professionally. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned everything up before they left. The system has been running perfectly--it's quiet, efficient, and keeps the house comfortable. Their pricing was very fair, especially compared to other quotes I got. Everything was upfront and clearly explained, with no hidden costs. If you're looking for HVAC work, I highly recommend So Cal Boys!!"

FAQs for central a/c installation projects in Aliso Viejo, CA

If you’re replacing an old AC system with a new unit, you can usually clean and repair the old ductwork without having to conduct a full replacement. Cleaning HVAC ducts typically costs around $400, while repairs range from $200 to $1,000. In contrast, installing new ductwork can range from $1,000 to $5,000, making it far more costly than cleaning or fixing existing ducts. HVAC installation costs an average of $7,000 to replace a full system, so staying on top of maintenance and repairs is important.

AC cost efficiency depends on the size of your space and your long-term plans for your home. If you only need to cool a small area, a portable AC unit has a low upfront cost. Heat pumps are typically the most cost-effective option if you want to cool an entire home or improve the resale value. They provide strong cooling while being energy-efficient, which saves you money on your utility bills compared to most other AC types.

Installing a central AC unit typically takes four to eight hours if your home already has ductwork in place. However, if new ductwork needs to be installed, this can add another one to two days of labor to your project.
