Serving Martinez
From our Antioch shop on Wilbur Avenue, Martinez is about 25 miles west via SR-4 and Alhambra Avenue, and we cover the whole area, including Downtown Martinez, Alhambra Valley, Franklin Canyon and Vine Hill. Inside Martinez city limits, permits come from the Building Permit Center on Henrietta Street, while Martinez-address homes in unincorporated Pacheco, Vine Hill or Alhambra Valley go through the County. 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 Martinez customers and BayREN's income-qualified EASE Home program.

Questions before you call
Do I need a permit to replace my AC in Martinez?
Yes. Replacing an AC, furnace or heat pump in California requires a mechanical permit - in Martinez that comes from the City of Martinez Building Permit Center. 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 Martinez?
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 Martinez?
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 Martinez homes is mainly MCE's home energy programs for Martinez customers and BayREN's income-qualified EASE Home program. Programs change often, so we check what's open for your address when we quote.
