AC & Heat Pump Installation

Sized for your house, not the biggest unit on the truck.

A new AC installation is one of the biggest mechanical investments in a home, and the part most installers rush is sizing. An oversized unit short-cycles, leaves the house clammy and wears out early; an undersized one runs nonstop through July. AccuFlow installs central air conditioners and heat pumps in Lodi, Acampo and nearby towns, sized with a proper load calculation for your square footage, insulation, windows and sun exposure. We check that the existing ductwork can carry the air the new unit needs, handle the permit, and haul away the old equipment.

Load Calculation

Equipment sized to your home’s actual heat gain, not a rule of thumb.

Central Air Conditioners

New AC systems matched to your furnace or air handler.

Heat Pumps

One outdoor unit for cooling in summer and efficient heating in winter.

Ductwork Checked

Ducts inspected and corrected so the new system can move the air it needs.

AC or heat pump?

A straight AC cools and relies on a furnace for heat. A heat pump does both: it moves heat out of the house in summer and into the house in winter. In the valley’s mild winters, a heat pump heats efficiently most of the year, and it can replace an aging furnace and AC with one system. If you have gas heat you like, pairing a new AC with your existing furnace still makes sense. We walk you through both.

Signs it’s time to replace your AC

  • The system is 15 years or older and needs a major repair
  • It uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced
  • Energy bills keep rising with no change in use
  • Some rooms never get comfortable
  • Frequent breakdowns every summer
  • Loud operation or short cycling

What a proper installation includes

We remove the old equipment, set the new outdoor unit on a level pad, match the indoor coil, install new refrigerant lines or flush the old ones if they can be reused, pull a deep vacuum before charging, connect the condensate drain and set up the thermostat. Then we check airflow and temperature split so we know the system is delivering what it should. Manufacturer warranties apply to new equipment.

Rebates and financing

Higher-efficiency heat pumps may qualify for utility rebates; for homes in SMUD’s service area, see our SMUD approved contractor page. Financing is available for new system installs. If your ducts are leaky or undersized, we price duct repair along with the equipment so both are sized together. AccuFlow’s HVAC work is done under our C-20 HVAC license (CSLB #1025946).

What affects the cost of a new AC or heat pump

  • System size: the tonnage your home needs.
  • Efficiency rating: higher SEER2 equipment costs more up front and less to run.
  • AC or heat pump: and whether the furnace or air handler is replaced too.
  • Ductwork: repairs or changes needed for proper airflow.
  • Electrical and pad: disconnect, wiring and a new equipment pad.
  • Permit: required for equipment replacement.

They initially have a wide window of when they'll be here. But a few days before the appt, I was given a 1 hour window which was nice so I could plan other tasks. They were perfectly on time, very professional and did a great job.
