HVAC Planning Tools
Two quick tools to help you plan before you call anyone. No email gate, no pressure — just honest ranges and a starting read.

HVAC Replacement Cost Calculator
Ballpark planning ranges for AC, furnace, heat pump, and mini-split replacement.
AC Repair vs Replace Calculator
Weigh age, repair cost, refrigerant, and comfort to see which way the math leans.
Which planning tool do you need?
Both tools run in your browser, ask for no email, and take about a minute. They are planning aids, not quotes: the number for your house comes from an on-site inspection.
The HVAC replacement cost calculator answers "roughly what will a replacement cost?" You pick what you are replacing (AC only, furnace only, AC plus furnace, a heat pump, or a ductless mini-split with one to four-plus zones), your home size, the condition of your ductwork, and whether you want high-efficiency equipment. It returns a Sacramento-area planning range. Treat that range as a budgeting figure, not a price: it cannot see permit specifics, electrical upgrades, or what the house turns up on site. The cost guides explain what moves the number.
The AC repair vs replace calculator answers "is this system worth fixing?" It weighs system age, the repair estimate if you have one, refrigerant type (R-22, R-410A, or a newer low-GWP refrigerant), breakdowns in the last two years, and comfort problems, then shows which way the math leans and why. It cannot see a leaking coil or a failing compressor, so use it as a starting read. The repair-or-replace guide and the R-410A transition guide cover the reasoning in more depth.
