Elevation-Aware Sizing
At 2,400 feet, air density differs. We run a Manual-J test that accounts for Colfax elevation and sun angle, not just square footage.

Colfax AC Setup Along the I-80 Corridor
Colfax sits at about 2,400 feet on the I-80 corridor. Summer temps still hit triple digits on the hottest days. The elevation means a different sizing approach than valley homes. A unit sized for a flat Sacramento lot won't cool a Colfax home with the same square footage. We run a Manual-J load test for every home. Fresh Air serves the I-80 corridor up to Colfax and knows the local Placer County permit process.
Placer County Permit
We pull the Placer County permit and book the inspection. You don't have to deal with the building department.

We drive up the I-80 corridor, see your home, and give you a firm price. No charge for the visit.
