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.
BERKELEY DETAILSNew cooling for
New cooling for
Berkeley homes.
Many Berkeley houses were built without air conditioning. A heat pump adds cooling and can take over heating from an old furnace in the same project.
01
Heat pump instead of AC-only
A heat pump costs little more to plan than a cooling-only unit and earns full credit under Berkeley's BESO time-of-sale rules.
02
Homes without ducts
Wall, ceiling or slim-ducted heads suit houses with no duct runs, including converted attics and upstairs bedrooms.
03
Gas shut-off valve
The city notes that a gas shut-off valve is required when a mechanical or plumbing permit is issued. HAXX checks for it during the estimate.

GOOD TO KNOW
AC Installation in Berkeley: questions, answered.
Do I need a permit to add AC in Berkeley?
Yes. HAXX applies through the city's Permits Online portal and meets the inspector.
Can I install AC in a house with no ducts?
Yes. Ductless or slim-ducted heat pumps are common in Berkeley homes without duct systems.
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.
