Adding or replacing air conditioning in Los Altos? HAXX installs heat pumps that cool in summer and heat in winter, with permits and a panel review.
Serving North Los Altos, Old Los Altos, South of El Monte, Loyola Corners and Woodland Acres and the rest of Los Altos. Share your address to confirm availability.

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.
Equipment sized to the house, its windows and insulation, not to the old unit's label.
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.
Leaky or undersized ducts waste a new system. HAXX checks airflow before quoting.
Circuit, disconnect and panel capacity reviewed by HAXX electricians before install day.
American Standard and Mitsubishi Electric, among others, matched to the home and budget.
Mechanical and electrical permits pulled, city inspection scheduled.
Plenty of older Los Altos homes never had central air. A heat pump adds cooling and can take over from the gas furnace in one project.
A heat pump does the cooling job of an AC and can also replace gas heating, which is the case the city and SVCE rebates are aimed at.
Homes with usable ducts can take a ducted system. Rooms without ducts, additions and basements often suit mini-split heads.
Los Altos lots are mostly a quarter acre or more, but side yards still sit near neighbors. HAXX plans outdoor unit location and setbacks with the permit.

For most homes a heat pump makes more sense: it cools like an AC and heats too. Los Altos and SVCE rebates apply when it replaces gas heating.
A typical changeout is one or two days of work, followed by a City of Los Altos inspection.
Most replacements take one to two days on site. Permits, equipment lead times and any electrical work add to the overall timeline.
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.
