"I recently had a new HVAC system installed by Aireserv, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From the beginning, the team was professional, courteous, and informative. They arrived on time and were very thorough in explaining the detailed installation plan, the features of the new system, and how to operate it. The installation went smoothly, and the technicians cleaned the area while working. Once the system was installed, they ran tests to ensure everything was working perfectly and took the time to answer all of my questions. The new HVAC system has been a game-changer in terms of performance. It heats and cools my home more efficiently than my previous unit, and I've noticed a significant improvement in comfort and air quality.

"Called this company for their $77 dollar, which they advertised with a flyer, for a tune-up and cleaning for my heating system. They are a Hayward company and I was told that our Castro Valley home was not in their service area. I bet if I called to buy a new heater they would be out in a day."

Central a/c installations FAQs

If you’re replacing an old AC system with a new unit, you can usually clean and repair the old ductwork without having to conduct a full replacement. Cleaning HVAC ducts typically costs around $400, while repairs range from $200 to $1,000. In contrast, installing new ductwork can range from $1,000 to $5,000, making it far more costly than cleaning or fixing existing ducts. HVAC installation costs an average of $7,000 to replace a full system, so staying on top of maintenance and repairs is important.

AC cost efficiency depends on the size of your space and your long-term plans for your home. If you only need to cool a small area, a portable AC unit has a low upfront cost. Heat pumps are typically the most cost-effective option if you want to cool an entire home or improve the resale value. They provide strong cooling while being energy-efficient, which saves you money on your utility bills compared to most other AC types.

Installing a central AC unit typically takes four to eight hours if your home already has ductwork in place. However, if new ductwork needs to be installed, this can add another one to two days of labor to your project.
