In-Home Assessment

You call us, and we’ll schedule a free consultation at a time that works best for your schedule. During the visit, a friendly team member will assess your property and perform a load calculation, which will factor in your building’s square footage, insulation levels, window exposure, ductwork, and more.

This detailed calculation will give us all the information necessary to recommend a properly sized system.

Beyond the load calculation, we may also check your electrical panel capacity, thermostat location and wiring, and zoning requirements, all to anticipate challenges that could come up during installation.

This in-home consultation is totally free. There’s no obligation or pressure.

Three System Options

After the in-home consultation, we’ll offer three equipment options:

1. Standard efficiency – A reliable, budget-friendly unit that meets code requirements. Generally, this is best for budget-conscious homeowners or rental properties.
2. High efficiency – A system with a better SEER rating, lower operating costs, and quieter operations. This option is ideal for primary residences where you want comfort and savings.
3. Premium efficiency – Top-tier equipment that features variable-speed technology and the best warranties. Go with this option if you want the best long-term value.

Each option will feature details about equipment specs, the installation scope, manufacturer warranties, the total project price, and financing options.

Have questions? We’ll give you straightforward answers. Need time to think? You’ll have total control over your installation timeline.

How Do You Know When It’s Best to Replace Your AC?

It can be difficult to determine without a professional assessment, but you can generally benefit from upgrading your cooling system when:

• Your air conditioner is more than 15 years old and beginning to lose efficiency
• Repairs are becoming more frequent and costly
• Energy bills continue to rise, even though you’ve not increased your usage
• Your home has uneven temperatures or persistent hot and cold spots
• Your system uses older R-22 refrigerant, which has been phased out
• Major repairs are approaching a significant percentage of replacement costs

If you're unsure whether replacement is the right choice, let us help. If repairing your current system makes sense, we'll tell you. If replacement offers better value, we'll explain why with straightforward information.

Benefits of Installing a New AC

Upgrading to a new air conditioning system is one of the most impactful investments a Rancho Cordova homeowner can make, delivering benefits that go well beyond simply restoring cool air on a hot day. With summers in the region regularly pushing temperatures to extreme highs for weeks at a time, having a modern, efficient cooling system in place isn't just a comfort upgrade — it's a practical necessity. At JR Putman Plumbing, Heating & Air, we help homeowners explore the full range of advantages that come with installing a new AC system:

• Superior Cooling Capacity: Modern systems are engineered to cool homes more effectively and evenly, eliminating the hot spots and temperature inconsistencies that aging units often produce.
• Dramatically Improved Energy Efficiency: Today's air conditioners operate at significantly higher efficiency ratings than older models, reducing the energy needed to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
• Lower Monthly Utility Bills: Enhanced efficiency translates directly into measurable savings on electricity costs throughout the long cooling season.
• Quieter Operation: Newer systems run with considerably less noise, creating a more comfortable and peaceful indoor environment.
• Smart Technology Compatibility: Modern units integrate seamlessly with smart thermostats, giving homeowners greater control over comfort and energy usage.
• Manufacturer Warranty Coverage: A new installation comes backed by warranty protection that provides financial security against unexpected repair costs during the coverage period.
