At your Madera property, our team removes the old system, installs the new equipment on proper mounting and supports, connects refrigerant lines with nitrogen-purged brazing, wires all components to code, installs the thermostat, modifies ductwork as needed, and cleans up completely.

Complete HVAC installation in Madera ranges from $7,000 to $15,000 for a mid-efficiency furnace and AC combination — typically an 80 percent AFUE furnace paired with a 14.3 to 16 SEER2 condenser. High-efficiency systems with variable-speed blowers and two-stage or variable-speed compressors run $12,000 to $22,000 but deliver significantly lower operating costs and qualify for federal tax credits. Heat pump systems fall between $5,000 and $18,000 depending on whether the system is single-stage, variable-speed, or a dual-fuel configuration. Ductwork modifications or new duct runs add $1,000 to $5,000. KIC Refrigeration provides detailed written proposals for Madera homeowners with every cost itemized and no hidden fees.
KIC Refrigeration works with homeowners in Madera to make HVAC installation affordable through flexible payment options. We provide information on financing programs that can spread the cost over 36 to 120 months with approved credit, making a $12,000 system as manageable as $100 to $200 per month. Some programs offer promotional periods with reduced interest rates for the first 12 to 24 months. We also help Madera homeowners identify and apply for utility rebates, manufacturer rebates, and the federal energy tax credit of up to $2,000 that can reduce the net project cost significantly. Ask about current financing options during your free in-home estimate.
Correct HVAC system sizing is determined by a Manual J residential load calculation — the ACCA industry standard — that accounts for your home square footage, ceiling height, insulation R-values, window area and U-factor, air infiltration rate, duct losses, occupancy, and the local CA winter and summer design temperatures. As a rough reference, a well-insulated 2,000-square-foot home in Madera typically needs a 2.5 to 3.5 ton system, while a poorly insulated home of the same size may need 4 tons. KIC Refrigeration never estimates by rule of thumb — we run a proper calculation for your specific Madera home to avoid oversizing, which causes short cycling, high humidity, and premature compressor wear.
Yes. KIC Refrigeration pulls all required mechanical, electrical, and gas permits for every HVAC installation in Madera, CA. We prepare the permit application with equipment specifications and installation plans, pay the permit fee, schedule the inspection with the local building department, meet the inspector on-site, and ensure the installation passes all applicable mechanical code requirements. A building permit is not optional — it is required by law in most Madera jurisdictions, and an unpermitted installation can void the manufacturer equipment warranty, create title problems when selling the home, and may not be covered by homeowner insurance if an HVAC failure causes property damage. KIC Refrigeration includes permitting in every installation project.
