AC Installation in Santa Clara, CA

Investing in a new air conditioner for your Santa Clara home is one of the smartest moves you can make as a homeowner. Modern ACs are significantly more efficient than older models, delivering quicker cooling and lower energy bills. 

At Calvey Heating and Air, we use the Manual J® load calculation to properly size and install every system based on your home’s specific square footage, insulation, sun exposure, number of doors and windows, and layout. 

Whether you’re looking at an air conditioning replacement in Santa Clara or planning an upgrade, our Calvey technicians help you evaluate your options and install the new system with precision. 

There are some common signs that your home would benefit from a new air conditioner installation in Santa Clara. These include: 

• Skyrocketed energy bills without a clear reason. 
• Inconsistent cooling, even when the AC system runs constantly.
• Unusual noises, such as banging, grinding, or rattling, are coming from the system.
• High humidity inside your home that makes it feel stuffy and uncomfortable.
• Hot and cold spots in the home, regardless of thermostat settings.
• Your AC is using an outdated R-22 refrigerant. 
• Your AC is 15 to 20 years old. 

Another sign is having multiple repairs for your AC in the last few years. If the cost of these repairs has reached half the cost of a new system, it’s likely more cost-effective to replace it entirely.

City of Santa Clara homeowners may be eligible for significant rebates when upgrading to a qualifying high-efficiency air conditioning system. 

Silicon Valley Power offers a rebate of up to $10,000 for upgrading from an old AC system to a high-efficiency, environmentally friendly ductless mini-split heat pump. A ductless mini-split system uses up to 60% less energy than a traditional gas or electric system and can provide both cooling and heating. 

ENERGY STAR, the Department of Energy’s efficiency program, offers a 30% rebate, with a credit of up to $600.00 for high-efficiency AC upgrades. High-efficiency ACs have a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) of 17 or higher.    

For added savings, Calvey also offers a $25-per-month membership program that includes 50% off diagnostic fees and 10% off repairs. 

Our AC installations at Calvey Heating and  Air follow a tried-and-true process. Here is what to expect from our installation process in Santa Clara. 

Step one: Free estimate

We talk about your cooling needs, review the sizing and layout of your home, and help you decide on the type of air conditioner that’s best for your home. This is all part of our free estimate. 

Step two: Help with the permit process

New air conditioners require city permits to guarantee compliance with safety and energy codes. As a licensed technician, Calvey can help Santa Cara homeowners with the permit process. 

Step three: Installation day

If you have an older AC unit, we safely remove and dispose of it. After that, we install the outdoor unit on a supportive pad and the indoor unit in a suitable location. If any additional ductwork is needed for central AC, we also handle that.

Step four: Warranty coverage

After we run thorough tests to ensure your new AC is operating at optimal performance, we do a walkthrough with the homeowner and discuss warranty coverage. New units come with a three-year warranty.
