Serving Concord
Concord is about 20 miles west via SR-4 and SR-242 from our Antioch shop, and we serve all of it, including Clayton Valley, Dana Estates, Crystyl Ranch and Sun Terrace. Concord replacements are permitted through the City of Concord Building Division, and starting in 2029, Air District rules allow only zero-NOx furnaces when an existing unit wears out. Many statewide heat pump rebates are closed for 2026, so when we quote we check what's still open for your address, such as MCE's home energy programs for Concord customers and BayREN's income-qualified EASE Home program.

Questions before you call
Do I need a permit to replace my AC in Concord?
Yes. Replacing an AC, furnace or heat pump in California requires a mechanical permit - in Concord that comes from the City of Concord Building Division. Most replacements also need Title 24 duct leakage testing verified by a third-party HERS rater. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspection.
How much does a new AC cost in Concord?
It depends on the size of the home, the type of system, the efficiency level and the condition of your ductwork. We give you a written quote after looking at the house, with more than one option.
Are there rebates for a new system in Concord?
Some, but fewer than before. TECH Clean California and California's HEEHRA heat pump rebates are fully reserved, and the federal 25C tax credit ended for systems installed after 2025. What's left for Concord homes is mainly MCE's home energy programs for Concord customers and BayREN's income-qualified EASE Home program. Programs change often, so we check what's open for your address when we quote.
