HVAC in California
Heating and air-conditioning bids vary with equipment, efficiency and the work around the unit. GroundBid lets you get several private bids from licensed HVAC providers and compare what each one includes. GroundBid is open to homeowners and businesses across California.
What's typically included
Air-conditioning and heat-pump repair and replacement, furnace work, duct repairs, thermostats, and maintenance visits.
What to include in your project post
Include the age and brand of the current system if you know them, what it's doing (or not doing), the size of the home, and whether you're after a repair or a replacement quote.
Checking a provider in California
On GroundBid, HVAC is a licensed trade: a provider must have a verified state license before they can bid.
You can also check a contractor's license yourself with the Contractors State License Board (CSLB): official license lookup · 800-321-2752. California licenses contractors statewide through the CSLB. Its lookup shows a contractor's license status, classifications, bond, workers' compensation, personnel and any discipline.
Licensing and permit rules can change and vary by city and county. This is general information, not legal advice; confirm with the licensing board or your local building department. License lookups for every state →
How GroundBid works
Describe the project with photos, choose how long bidding stays open, and verified providers send private, sealed bids that other providers can't see. Compare them, accept the one you want, and your payment is held until you confirm the work is complete. How sealed bidding works →
