Red Mountain Heating and Air, Inc.
"I got bids from a *large* number of installers and Red Mountain gave me the best equipment for the price and did a nice job of it despite a few early teething problems that were resolved quickly and competently. But note that the going price in this area for heat pumps is significantly higher than in other areas of the country - regardless of which installer I let bid on my home. In my opinion, given energy price trends, the environmental impact of heating with gas, and having existing solar power on my home, the benefits of a heat pump outweighs the high price in this area, but YMMV. Think thru your position re: BayREN rebates and the recent federal Inflation Reduction Act rebates carefully to make sure you qualify."

California Heating and Cooling
"I HIGHLY! HIGHLY! Recommend this company!!! We met with several different heating & cooling businesses to get bids on replacing our 27 year old system. We decided to go with this company because we really liked the way Sean Henson inspected our old system and presented different options for us. He was very thorough in his explanations and answered every question we had. There was no high pressure to buy the most expensive system or to buy at all which is always great when your trying to get bids. Their costs are competitive and reasonable. Once we chose this company our installation was scheduled within 2 weeks and because our place is only 1145sq.ft. took a day and a half. Alex and his hardworking crew did a phenomenal job on are very old system. There were a few things that had to be brought up to the current codes and everything was done well. After each day the crew made sure everything was cleaned up. What a difference this new System made. It runs so well now and every room is nice and cool or hot depending on the need. "

HVAC Guru
"Project: A damper needed to be installed between the furnace and one duct line leading from it. In order to make sure all registers fed by the duct line were controlled by the damper, it had to be positioned as high upstream as possible. The job was complicated by an unclear vision that this should have been the original plan. This was not entirely due to the technicians. The cost of the job was calculated based upon breaking into the ceiling and accessing a substantial amount of duct. After about 5 ft of ceiling was exposed, the owner realized that any dampers installed in the exposed duct would be too far downstream to control nearby upstream registers. The job was re-purposed at that point, with the help of a more experienced technician than the one who designed the original job. A small section of the ceiling much closer to the furnace was opened up, and a damper--designed and constructed by the experienced technician--was installed through a slit made in the duct. The damper could be controlled from the outside by a lever, and would be able to determine heat flow to the registers that had been providing too much heat to the affected bedroom. HVAC Guru reduced the job cost by 11.5% to reflect the reduction in labor from the original invoice. The technicians were courteous, responsive and professional. Administrative personnel were courteous, responsive and professional. Some detailing for the damper control, and testing under real conditions (winter weather) are all that remain for the experience to be considered completed."

For all the times you said, "It's too hot in here!", contacting air conditioner installers near you means never having to say that again. AC units keep you cool in the warm months, but they also help to keep the indoor air cleaner and drier. Central air is also a quieter solution to cool your home because the loudest parts are usually outside.
There are two major types of air conditioners that you can have installed. The first is a packaged central air conditioner. This is a system where the entire unit is installed in a large cabinet usually on a concrete slab near your home. The return and supply ducts are run through the home's walls and connect with the unit outside. The other type is a split-system where both an indoor and outdoor cabinet are installed. The outdoor cabinet houses the compressor and condenser while the indoor cabinet has the evaporator. Homeowners that already have a furnace usually install split systems.
