HVAC Services in Roseville, CA
To schedule HVAC services in Roseville, CA, call Ray O. Cook Heating and Air.
Ray O. Cook Heating & Air has worked out of Roseville since 1947. Our shop is on Riverside Avenue, so a Roseville service call is a short drive and not a trip across the county. We have serviced this city through every wave of its growth, from the older homes near Old Town to the newest tracts out in Fiddyment Farm.
Our clients choose us for many reasons, including:
- Roseville Electric expertise: Roseville runs its own municipal utility, not PG&E, with its own heat pump rebate programs. We know which systems qualify and we handle the documentation.
- Local, since 1947: Our shop is in Roseville. We are not dispatching to your neighborhood from another county.
- Right-sized recommendations: We diagnose airflow and duct problems instead of selling you more tonnage than your home can use.
- Permits handled: Every changeout we install is permitted with the City of Roseville and comes with the Title 24 compliance paperwork.
- Around the clock: We answer no-heat and no-cooling calls 24 hours a day. California license #829856.
Most of Placer County buys power from PG&E. Roseville does not. The city runs Roseville Electric Utility, which maintains its own residential rebates, including rebates for heat pump systems and for converting a gas furnace to an electric heat pump. Funding is first come, first served and the terms change year to year, so we check the current program before quoting.
Practically, that means the equipment that makes the most financial sense in Roseville can be different from what makes sense two miles up the road in Rocklin.
Older central Roseville near Old Town has smaller square footage, original ductwork, and furnaces sized for homes that have since been added onto. The 1980s and 1990s tracts through Cirby Hills and Sierra Gardens are hitting end of life now, and many still run R-22 refrigerant that is no longer produced. West Roseville and Fiddyment Farm are two-story homes on one system and one thermostat, hot upstairs in July and cold downstairs in January.
Roseville sits on the valley floor, not in the foothills, and runs hotter than Auburn or Loomis on the same afternoon. Triple-digit stretches mean your condenser runs for hours without cycling off, which is when a weak capacitor, a coil packed with cottonwood, or a slightly low charge finally becomes a breakdown. Winters are mild but damp, and tule fog season puts heat pumps into defrost more than the spec sheet suggests.
A furnace or air conditioner changeout in Roseville requires a mechanical permit from the city, and California Title 24 requires a CF1R compliance form and, in most cases, duct leakage testing. We pull the permit and file the paperwork as part of the job. An unpermitted changeout tends to surface later during a home sale, which is a bad time to find out.

Yes. Roseville Electric Utility runs its own residential rebate programs, including heat pump HVAC rebates and higher rebates for gas to electric conversions. Funds are issued first come, first served and the program terms are revised annually, so we confirm what is currently available and which equipment qualifies before we quote your system. Current details are published on the City of Roseville electric utility website.
This is the most common complaint we hear in West Roseville and other two-story neighborhoods. Heat rises, the thermostat is usually downstairs, and the system satisfies the first floor long before the second floor catches up. The fixes are usually airflow related: sealing attic duct leaks, adding return air upstairs, balancing registers, or zoning the system with dampers. Installing a larger system generally makes the problem worse rather than better.
Yes. Furnace and air conditioner changeouts require a mechanical permit from the City of Roseville, and state energy code requires CF1R documentation with duct leakage testing on most replacements. We pull permits on our installations and leave you the completed paperwork.
Once a year at minimum, and twice a year if you want both heating and cooling checked before their seasons. Most manufacturer warranties also require documented annual maintenance, so skipping service can affect coverage on an expensive part like a compressor. Our fall furnace tune-up is $79.
