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.
HERCULES DETAILSNew cooling for
New cooling for
Hercules homes.
Many Hercules homes from the 1970s and 1980s were built without central air. Adding cooling now is usually a question of ducts, panel capacity and where the outdoor unit can go.
01
Heat pump or AC
A heat pump costs little more than an AC of the same size and also heats. Many Hercules owners choose one when the furnace is aging too.
02
Existing ducts
Homes with a forced-air furnace can usually take a ducted system. HAXX inspects the ducts for leaks and sizing before quoting.
03
Outdoor unit placement
Townhome HOAs and narrow side yards limit placement. HAXX plans the location, line set route and clearances before install day.

GOOD TO KNOW
AC Installation in Hercules: questions, answered.
Does a new AC need a permit in Hercules?
Yes. The City of Hercules requires mechanical and electrical permits for a new system, followed by an inspection. HAXX handles both.
How long does an AC installation take?
Most replacements take one to two days. A new system with duct changes can take longer, plus the City 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.
