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.
PORTOLA VALLEY DETAILSNew cooling in
New cooling in
Portola Valley.
Portola Valley's 2022 reach code asks that a new or replacement AC condenser be a heat pump. It keeps the existing furnace working while preparing the house for electric heat later.
01
Heat pump in place of AC
A heat pump cools like an AC and can heat too. Paired with the existing furnace, it gives a path to retire gas when the furnace wears out.
02
Placement on sloped lots
Equipment pads, line-set routes and noise toward neighbors all matter on hillside lots. HAXX plans the location before quoting.
03
Electrical included
The circuit, disconnect and any panel work are handled by HAXX's own electricians, not a subcontractor.

GOOD TO KNOW
AC Installation in Portola Valley: questions, answered.
Do I have to install a heat pump instead of an AC in Portola Valley?
The Town's 2022 reach code requires a heat pump for new or replacement AC condensers. HAXX confirms the current requirement with Planning & Building first.
Will WestLight Energy (formerly Peninsula Clean Energy) help pay for it?
WestLight Energy lists rebates for heat pumps that replace gas heating. Confirm eligibility with WestLight Energy before you sign.
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.
