Based out of Menifee, CA; Air Care Heating and Air Conditioning, proudly serves our customers with pride, integrity, and attention to the details that matter most to you. This is one of the many things that set us apart from the rest.

"Called them Tuesday afternoon when my tenant informed me their AC wasn't working and they had partly disassembled the unit trying to fix themselves. Even though Gary was already booked up for the week, he went by thursday evening, reassembled what had been removed by tenant, diagnosed what broke and returned with parts friday am. Tenant had AC back on by 9am friday. Good service, fair price and considerable patience shown to the tenant who was talking over his shoulder the whole time."

We're dedicated to providing our clients with the very best in installation, service, and repair for your heating and cooling needs. Our company is built on honesty and integrity. We specialize in central A/C and cooling systems as well as heating and furnace systems. We take pride in the quality of our work and our commitment to outstanding results. We look forward to building long-term relationships with our clients, and guarantee your satisfaction.

"I would say this is the BEST SERVICE YOU CAN FIND for HVAC. I had an intermittently functioning heat system where we almost replaced the $300 Next thermostat and ran a 40 foot power wire through the walls, which would have cost quite a bit. Instead, a very capable man did the right testing and found we only needed a capacitor and he had one on his truck. He then spent another hour removing the dirty fan and cleaning the whole system with Shopvac and garden hose. We'd been breathing all this dusty air and did not know it. They came the day we called and everything was handled expertly after two weeks of problems with heat and incorrect solutions suggested. Highly recommended and I will save their number!"

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.
