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