Why Choose Go Pro for AC Installation?
Energy-Efficient Systems for Northern California Homes
Northern California summers can be hot and dry, making a reliable cooling system essential. From the sweltering heat in Sacramento to the coastal fog and warmth in San Francisco , homeowners need an AC system that keeps up with fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels.
Our team helps homeowners choose the right AC based on their square footage, insulation, and energy needs. We prioritize energy-efficient systems that not only keep homes cool but also help reduce utility bills.
High-efficiency air conditioners are especially beneficial in areas where temperatures regularly exceed 90°F during the summer months. By choosing an Energy Star-certified model , homeowners can often qualify for rebates from local utility providers, helping offset the initial cost of installation.
Proper sizing is crucial when selecting an AC unit. An oversized unit can lead to frequent cycling and higher energy costs, while an undersized unit may struggle to cool the space effectively. At Go Pro Plumbing & HVAC , we ensure your new AC is perfectly matched to your home’s cooling requirements.
Fully Licensed & Insured Technicians You Can Trust
As a licensed and bonded plumbing and HVAC company , we adhere to the highest industry standards. Our technicians undergo continuous training to stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices in AC installation.
Every member of our team is fully insured, giving you peace of mind knowing that your property is protected throughout the installation process. With over four decades of combined experience, our installers have worked on thousands of homes across Northern California — from single-family residences in Roseville to multi-unit buildings in San Jose .
We believe in transparency and honesty. That’s why we always provide a free estimate before any work begins. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges — just straightforward pricing and exceptional service.

What to Expect During Installation
Step-by-Step Process from Start to Finish
Installing a new AC unit is a significant investment, and it’s important to understand what the process entails. Here’s a breakdown of how Go Pro Plumbing & HVAC handles every AC installation:
- Initial Consultation : We begin by assessing your current system and understanding your cooling needs. This includes evaluating your home’s layout, insulation levels, and existing ductwork.
- System Selection : Based on your consultation, we recommend one or more AC options that fit your budget and efficiency goals. We explain the benefits of each type — whether standard, high-efficiency, or variable-speed models — so you can make an informed decision.
- Permitting & Scheduling : Most jurisdictions in California require permits for AC installation. We handle all necessary paperwork and coordinate with local authorities to ensure compliance.
- Professional Installation : On the day of installation, our crew arrives on time and ready to work. We protect your floors and belongings before beginning the installation process.
- Final Inspection & Testing : Once the new AC is installed, we conduct a thorough inspection and test the system to ensure everything is functioning correctly. We also walk you through the controls and thermostat operation.
The entire installation typically takes one full day , though larger homes or complex setups may require additional time.
AC Installation Cost in Northern California
Pricing varies depending on the type of system, size, and complexity of the installation. On average, AC installation in Sacramento, San Francisco, and San Jose ranges between $3,000 and $8,000 .
Here’s a general price range based on common AC types:
Factors that influence the final cost include:
- Size of the home (square footage)
- Efficiency rating (SEER level)

We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. Many customers also qualify for utility rebates or financing options , which can help make the installation more affordable.
Benefits of Upgrading Your AC Unit
Improved Efficiency & Lower Utility Bills
Older AC units tend to run less efficiently, causing your system to work harder and consume more energy. Upgrading to a modern, high-efficiency AC can significantly reduce your monthly cooling costs — especially during the hotter months in Northern California .
Most older units operate at around 10–12 SEER , whereas newer models can reach 16 SEER or higher . That means they use less energy to produce the same amount of cooling, reducing your carbon footprint and saving money.
Additionally, newer ACs come equipped with advanced features such as variable-speed compressors , smart thermostat compatibility , and multi-stage cooling , which improve comfort and further enhance energy savings.
Better Indoor Comfort
Newer AC units distribute cool air more evenly throughout your home, eliminating hot spots and temperature fluctuations. They also run more quietly and maintain consistent indoor humidity levels, contributing to overall comfort.
With programmable or smart thermostats, homeowners can customize their cooling schedules to match their lifestyle — keeping the house cool when needed and conserving energy when away.
Reduced Environmental Impact
Modern AC units produce fewer emissions and operate more cleanly than older models. By upgrading your system, you’re not only improving your home’s comfort but also reducing your carbon footprint.
Many high-efficiency ACs qualify for Energy Star certification , meaning they meet strict environmental guidelines set by the EPA. Choosing an environmentally friendly option is a great way to support sustainability efforts in cities like Sacramento, San Francisco, and San Jose .
