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.
SAN FRANCISCO DETAILSAdding cooling in
Adding cooling in
San Francisco.
Most San Francisco houses were built without air conditioning. Late-summer and fall heat waves have made cooling a common request in the Mission, Noe Valley and Bernal Heights.
01
Heat pump over AC-only
A heat pump costs little more than a cooling-only system and also replaces gas heating, which can qualify for CleanPowerSF bill credits.
02
Ductless for homes without ducts
Many older homes have wall heaters or floor furnaces and no ducts. Wall-mounted or ceiling-cassette mini-splits avoid opening walls.
03
Condo and HOA rules
Outdoor unit locations, roof penetrations and noise limits are often set by the HOA. HAXX helps you plan placement before you apply for approval.

GOOD TO KNOW
AC Installation in San Francisco: questions, answered.
Do I need a permit to add AC in San Francisco?
Yes. HAXX files the mechanical and electrical permits with the Department of Building Inspection and schedules inspections.
Will my panel handle a new system?
Often yes, especially with a ductless system. HAXX runs a load calculation during the estimate to confirm.
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.
