"We needed to have our ancient a/c replaced, and we opted to replace our aging heating system at the same time. Tim was wonderful to work with. My husband and I appreciated the time he spent with us. He went over every aspect of the process, and the equipment that he recommended. We both felt that we were able to make a well-informed decision. I had gotten four other estimates from other highly rated companies, but Efficiency Air gave us the best quote, as well as the best warranties. The price included the cost of inspections, which some of the other quotes did not. Tim and his wonderful team delivered everything he said they would. They were all pros. He was onsite for the installation, and he was there at the finish line. Everything went very smoothly. They had the whole project finished in under 5 hours. Throughout the process, Tim was available, and he made us feel very well taken care of. I am so glad we opted to work with Efficiency Air. "

Cal Climate is family owned and operated, bringing a personal touch to everything we do. In 1970, founder Andrew "Andy" Sauer started the company with a simple vision - provide friendly, reliable service and products. Andy knew that Cal Climate would succeed by building a reputation based on going the extra distance. His sons, Tom and Bob, continue to carry on that awesome tradition today. We take pride in the fact that 90% of our new business comes from referral's. Please if you have any further questions or you would like to schedule a service call or a free installation appointment please contact us

"This review is long overdue, but I need to praise Calclimate for their excellent service! Tom and Chris were professional, reliable, and provided quality work. Tom replaced my father’s AC unit last summer on a short notice and provided much needed relief for my father, who was physically impaired at the time. I highly recommend Calclimate and will definitely use them again!"

Central a/c installations FAQs

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.
