HVAC Installation & Replacement in San Jose
What Proper HVAC Installation Requires
Equipment ratings assume the system is correctly sized, installed and commissioned. Our installation process focuses on the parts that determine how the system performs in the home.
For equipment-specific projects, see our dedicated pages for AC installation, furnace installation and heat pump installation.
Right-Sized Equipment
A Manual J load calculation determines what the home actually needs instead of matching the old equipment or using square footage alone.
Airflow & System Compatibility
We evaluate ductwork, returns, electrical requirements and connected equipment so the new system can operate as designed.
Commissioning
Airflow, refrigerant performance where applicable, controls and system operation are verified before the project is complete.
Our Home Comfort System Design Process
The equipment selection comes after the home, load and existing system have been evaluated.
Comfort Survey
We start by having a conversation about your home's HVAC needs to ensure our design aligns with your comfort expectations and lifestyle.
Manual J Calculation
We perform a Manual J load calculation to calculate the home's design heating and cooling loads and use those results when selecting equipment capacity.
Home Assessment
We assess the home and existing HVAC conditions that affect the new system, including the areas relevant to airflow, equipment placement, ductwork, electrical requirements and comfort concerns.
System Design
We use the load calculation, home assessment, existing-system conditions and project goals to develop an HVAC system design and equipment plan for the home.
Current HVAC Rebates & Incentives
Heat-pump and other HVAC incentive programs can vary by address, electric provider, project type, equipment, income qualifications and available funding. Our rebates page keeps the current local-program resources and incentive finder in one place so you can verify what is worth checking before a project begins.
Program availability, funding and eligibility can change. Final eligibility is determined by the program administrator.
