New AC,
sized and installed right.
Central air conditioners and heat pumps that also cool. Every installation starts with sizing and a look at your ducts and electrical panel, not with a model number.
AC or heat pump
Compare a straight AC with a heat pump that also heats. In many homes the heat pump costs little more and replaces the furnace later.
Ducts and airflow
Leaky or undersized ducts waste a new system. HAXX checks airflow before quoting.
Electrical check
Circuit, disconnect and panel capacity reviewed by HAXX electricians before install day.
Brands we install
American Standard and Mitsubishi Electric, among others, matched to the home and budget.
Permits and inspection
Mechanical and electrical permits pulled, city inspection scheduled.
ORINDA DETAILSNew cooling
New cooling
for Orinda.
Many older Orinda homes, especially around Orinda Village and the Crossroads, were built without central air. Hotter summers have made cooling a common addition.
01
Heat pump option
A heat pump cools like an AC and also heats, so one system can take over from both the AC and the furnace.
02
Homes without ducts
Where there is no attic or crawlspace room for ducts, ductless heads can cool individual rooms.
03
Permit and verification
Contra Costa County issues the permit, and a third-party ECC verification may be required at final. HAXX schedules it.

GOOD TO KNOW
AC Installation in Orinda: questions, answered.
Does Orinda require a heat pump when I replace my AC?
We found no Orinda rule requiring it for existing homes; the city follows the 2025 California Energy Code. HAXX confirms what applies when the permit is prepared.
How long does an install take?
Most replacements take one to two days, plus the County inspection.
How long does an AC installation take?
Most replacements take one to two days on site. Permits, equipment lead times and any electrical work add to the overall timeline.
Should I get a heat pump instead of an AC?
A heat pump cools exactly like an AC and also heats. If your furnace is aging, it is worth comparing both on the same estimate.
