You’re spending over half your energy bill on heating and cooling. That’s the reality for most Gilroy homeowners, especially when you’re running an older system that’s lost efficiency year after year.
A properly installed, high-efficiency AC unit changes that. You’ll see the difference in your PG&E bill within the first month—most Bay Area homeowners save between $800 and $1,400 annually after upgrading. Your home stays cooler on the hottest August days without constantly adjusting the thermostat or worrying about a breakdown.
Modern systems use less energy, need fewer repairs, and actually cool your home the way they’re supposed to. No more hot spots. No more second-guessing whether your system can handle another summer. Just consistent comfort and real savings that add up month after month.
We’ve been serving Santa Clara County since 1985. We’re a family-owned business—Ramiro took over in 2006 and kept the same commitment to straight answers and quality work that built our reputation.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured. We offer same-day service when you need it and 15% discounts for seniors and military families. Every AC installation in Gilroy, CA includes complete removal of your old system, so you’re not stuck figuring out what to do with leftover equipment.
We’ve installed systems through every kind of Gilroy summer. We know what works in this climate, what doesn’t, and how to size a system correctly so you’re not overpaying for capacity you don’t need or underbuying and struggling to stay cool.
It starts with a free estimate. We come to your home, look at your space, check your existing setup if you have one, and talk through what you actually need. No pressure. No upselling. Just honest recommendations based on your home’s size, layout, and your budget.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule the installation at a time that works for you. Most installations finish in a single day. We remove your old system, install the new unit, handle all the ductwork or mini split connections, test everything to make sure it’s running efficiently, and walk you through how to use your new system.
We pull the necessary permits and make sure everything meets California’s Title 24 energy efficiency requirements. Your new AC will hit the required SEER2 ratings, use environmentally friendly refrigerant, and be installed correctly the first time. We clean up completely before we leave, and you’re left with a system that works.

Every air conditioner installation in Gilroy, CA includes removal and disposal of your old system, so you don’t have to deal with it. We handle all the permits and make sure your installation meets California’s strict energy codes. You get a system that’s properly sized for your home—not oversized, not underpowered.
If you’re replacing an AC unit, we work with your existing ductwork when it makes sense. If you don’t have ducts or you’re adding cooling to a specific area, we install ductless mini splits that give you zone control and serious energy savings. Gilroy’s Mediterranean climate makes mini splits a smart choice—you’re not cooling rooms you’re not using.
We also walk you through available rebates. Bay Area homeowners installing qualifying heat pumps can stack rebates from Tech Clean CA, BayREN, and PG&E—sometimes over $5,000 total. If you qualify based on income, you could see even more through federal programs. We’ll point you in the right direction so you’re not leaving money on the table.
You’ll get a system with quality workmanship guaranteed, installed by technicians who’ve been doing this for decades. We’re available 24/7 if something goes wrong after installation, though with a new system, that’s rare.
Most HVAC system replacements in the Bay Area run between $12,000 and $28,000 installed, depending on the size of your home, the type of system, and whether you need ductwork modifications. A straightforward replacement on an existing system with good ducts will be on the lower end. Larger homes or homes needing new ducts will cost more.
Mini split air conditioner installation in Gilroy, CA typically ranges from $2,000 to $10,000+, depending on how many zones you’re cooling and the brand you choose. Single-zone systems cost less. Multi-zone setups that cool several rooms independently will be higher.
The upfront cost matters, but so does what you save long-term. High-efficiency systems cut your energy bills significantly—most homeowners save $800 to $1,400 per year in the Bay Area. Over the life of the system, that adds up. Factor in available rebates, and the real cost drops even further.
Most installations finish in one day. If it’s a straightforward replacement—swapping out an old unit for a new one with existing ductwork in good shape—we’re usually done in 6 to 8 hours.
Larger systems, homes that need ductwork modifications, or mini split installations with multiple zones can take longer. Sometimes an unexpected issue comes up once we open things up—old wiring that needs updating, ductwork that’s damaged, or structural quirks we couldn’t see during the estimate. We’ll let you know right away if that happens and how it affects timing.
The goal is to get your system up and running as quickly as possible without cutting corners. Rushing an installation leads to problems down the road—poor airflow, inefficient cooling, or equipment that fails early. We’d rather take the extra time to do it right.
It depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, ceiling height, number of windows, and how much sun exposure you get. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, and that’s why we do a proper assessment before recommending a system.
An oversized unit will cool your home quickly but cycle on and off too often, which wastes energy and wears out the equipment faster. An undersized unit will run constantly and struggle to keep up on hot days, especially during Gilroy’s warmest months when temperatures hit the mid-80s.
We calculate the load based on your specific home. Most residential systems range from 2 to 5 tons, but your home might need more or less. The right size keeps you comfortable, keeps your energy bills reasonable, and makes sure your system lasts as long as it should.
Yes, if you can. Waiting until July when your system dies in the middle of a heatwave means you’re competing with every other emergency for a contractor’s time. You’ll wait longer, pay more, and deal with days of discomfort while you’re waiting for installation.
If your system is over 15 years old, it’s already losing efficiency fast. Older units started around 10 to 13 SEER when they were new, and they’ve declined since then. You’re paying more every month to run a system that’s barely keeping up.
Replacing it in spring or early summer gives you better scheduling options, better pricing, and time to research rebates and financing. You’re also avoiding the risk of a breakdown when you need cooling most. Plan ahead, and you’re in control. Wait for an emergency, and you’re stuck with whatever’s available.
Yes. California has some of the strictest energy efficiency requirements in the country. Title 24 building codes mean you can’t just install any unit—your new system has to meet minimum SEER2 ratings, which measure cooling efficiency.
These requirements push you toward more efficient equipment, which costs more upfront but saves you money long-term. Modern systems also use low-GWP refrigerants like R-32 or R-454B, which are better for the environment and required under current regulations.
We make sure every AC unit installation in Gilroy, CA meets or exceeds these standards. You won’t have permit issues, and you’ll know your system is as efficient as it needs to be. California is also banning new gas furnaces and water heaters by 2030, so if you’re thinking about a heat pump that handles both heating and cooling, now’s a smart time to make that switch.
Central air uses ductwork to distribute cool air throughout your home from a single indoor unit. If you already have ducts from a furnace or existing AC, central air makes sense. It cools your whole home evenly and works well for larger spaces.
Mini splits don’t need ducts. They use an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor units mounted on walls or ceilings. Each indoor unit cools a specific zone, and you control them independently. That means you’re not wasting energy cooling rooms you’re not using, which is a big advantage in Gilroy’s climate where you might only need cooling in certain parts of the house.
Mini split air conditioner installation in Gilroy, CA works well for homes without existing ductwork, room additions, or homeowners who want zone control. They’re also more efficient than central air in many cases. The downside is they’re more visible—you’ll see the indoor units on your walls. But if efficiency and control matter more than aesthetics, mini splits are worth considering.
