Looking for Palo Alto's best HVAC contractor? Galaxy Heating & Air Conditioning is your local expert for heat pumps, air conditioning, and heating solutions across all Palo Alto neighborhoods.

Palo Alto's warm summers, prestigious housing stock, and environmentally-conscious community demand efficient, advanced HVAC systems.
Galaxy Heating & Air Conditioning proudly serves Palo Alto homeowners and businesses, from historic neighborhoods like Professorville and Old Palo Alto to areas near Stanford University to modern developments. Our NATE-certified technicians understand Peninsula climate needs and Palo Alto's architectural diversity, providing expert solutions. As a fully licensed HVAC contractor, we meet all local codes and manufacturer standards.
We understand Palo Alto's unique needs: university families and tech professionals seeking advanced, reliable systems; warm summer temperatures requiring efficient AC; historic homes needing custom ductless solutions; and environmentally-conscious homeowners who appreciate all-electric heat pumps. Our team provides expert guidance, meticulous installations, and premium service. We're available 24/7 for emergencies.
To make HVAC system upgrades accessible, we offer flexible financing with convenient monthly payments (on approved credit).

Palo Alto's housing includes historic Craftsman homes, Eichler mid-century modern architecture, neighborhoods near Stanford University, and custom luxury properties. Many historic homes lack central HVAC or need custom solutions. Ductless heat pumps are popular for preserving architectural character while delivering modern comfort. Palo Alto homeowners increasingly prefer all-electric heat pumps for environmental benefits and superior efficiency.
We serve Palo Alto's commercial sector, including Stanford University buildings, downtown retail and restaurants, tech company offices, medical facilities, and research laboratories. Our commercial team handles complex multi-zone systems, precision climate control, and energy-efficient solutions with reliable service.
Palo Alto's mid - Peninsula location creates a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers-temperatures routinely reach 80-90°F from June through September - and mild, comfortable winters. This makes efficient air conditioning important for summer comfort. We recommend modern variable-speed heat pumps that deliver powerful cooling during warm weather while operating efficiently year-round. These systems also handle Palo Alto's mild winters perfectly, often eliminating the need for a separate gas furnace. Many Palo Alto residents appreciate heat pumps' all-electric operation and environmental benefits.

Installed a Lennox variable-speed heat pump system (model EL16XCV with iComfort smart thermostat) in a 2,400 sq ft College Terrace home near Stanford. The new 17 SEER2 system replaced a 14 SEER AC and furnace, providing app-based control, efficient cooling during Palo Alto's warm summers, quieter operation, and reducing energy costs by approximately 39%. The Stanford professor homeowner qualified for $2,100 in combined rebates and federal tax credits.
Upgraded a historic Craftsman in Professorville with a Mitsubishi ductless multi-zone system (model MXZ-4C36 with 4 zones). The 1920s home had no existing ductwork.

The installation qualified for historic home preservation rebates plus heat pump incentives.
Replaced an aging 13 SEER AC system with a high-efficiency 16 SEER2 Carrier variable-speed heat pump in a 2,100 sq ft Crescent Park home.
