FAQ
How much does a new AC installation cost in Fresno?
While the average cost for a new cooling system in Fresno typically ranges between $4,500 and $9,000+ depending on the unit size and efficiency, at Costless Plumbing, Heating & Air, we offer flat-rate, upfront pricing. We don’t guess—we provide a free in-home estimate to give you an exact price that fits your budget.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my air conditioner?
We recommend following the “50% Rule.” If your AC is over 10–15 years old and a repair costs more than 50% of the price of a new unit, it is smarter to replace it. Additionally, if your energy bills are spiking or your system uses phased-out refrigerants (like R-22), a modern energy-efficient replacement will save you money in the long run.
What is the best efficiency rating for the Fresno heat?
In California, new systems must meet a minimum efficiency of 14.3 SEER2 (the new federal standard for the Southwest region). However, given Fresno’s triple-digit summer heat, we highly recommend a unit with a 16 SEER2 rating or higher. These high-efficiency units use significantly less electricity, which can lower your PG&E bills during July and August.
How long does it take to install a new AC system?
Most standard residential AC replacements in Fresno are completed in 4 to 8 hours. Our team arrives with fully stocked trucks to remove your old unit and install the new one in a single day, ensuring you aren’t left without cooling overnight.
Do I need a permit to replace my AC in Fresno?
Yes, the City of Fresno requires a building permit for all mechanical HVAC installations and replacements to ensure safety and code compliance. We handle this entirely for you. Our team pulls the necessary permits and schedules the required HERS (Home Energy Rating System) testing so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork.
Are there tax credits available for new AC units in 2025?
Yes! Under the Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners may be eligible for a federal tax credit of 30% of the project cost (capped at $600 for central air conditioners and $2,000 for heat pumps). We can provide the necessary invoices and manufacturer certifications you need to claim these credits on your taxes.
Do you offer financing for new air conditioners?
Yes, we understand that a new AC is a major investment. We offer flexible financing options to help break the cost into manageable monthly payments. During your free estimate, ask our technician about our current financing partners and approval process.
What kind of warranty comes with my new installation?
We stand behind our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Most new systems we install come with a 10-year manufacturer’s limited warranty on parts, and we offer robust labor warranties to give you peace of mind for the next decade.
Can you install AC in a home that doesn't have ductwork?
Absolutely. For older Fresno homes, garages, or additions without ducts, we specialize in Ductless Mini-Split systems. These wall-mounted units provide powerful, whisper-quiet cooling and heating without the expense or mess of installing new ductwork.
Which areas do you serve outside of Fresno?
Our installation team serves the entire Central Valley. Beyond Fresno, we are frequently in Clovis, Madera, Selma, Sanger, and Kingsburg. If you are within Fresno or Madera County, our trucks are likely already in your neighborhood.
