FAQS
Practical Answers for Your HVAC & Energy Needs
How long has Smit's Solar Heating and Air Conditioning been in business?
Smit's Solar Heating and Air Conditioning was founded in 1972, giving the company over 54 years of continuous operation in El Dorado County. That kind of tenure is rare in the HVAC industry and reflects a consistent track record of quality work and community trust. The business has served homeowners and commercial clients across Diamond Springs, Placerville, El Dorado Hills, and surrounding areas throughout its entire history.
Is Smit's a locally owned and operated company?
Yes, Smit's is a family-owned heating and cooling contractor based in Diamond Springs, CA. The business is led by Tim and Seth, with a team of experienced local technicians. Being locally owned means decisions are made by people who live and work in the same communities they serve, which is a key reason why the company has maintained strong relationships with El Dorado County residents for over five decades.What does the Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor designation mean for customers?
The Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor designation is a high-tier certification awarded to HVAC contractors who demonstrate elite-level expertise in Mitsubishi ductless and multi-zone heating and cooling systems. For customers, it means the technicians working on your home have received advanced training directly from the manufacturer, and it typically unlocks better warranty coverage on installed equipment. Very few contractors in El Dorado County hold this status, making it a meaningful differentiator when choosing a local HVAC company.Does Smit's handle both residential and commercial HVAC projects?
Yes, Smit's serves both residential and commercial clients. Residential work makes up about 90 percent of the business, covering heating, cooling, solar, and backup power for homeowners across El Dorado County. The remaining work is commercial, which includes specialized projects such as custom metal fabrication for commercial kitchen hoods and industrial ventilation systems. If you have a commercial facility with specific HVAC or ventilation needs, the team has the experience to handle it.Which areas does Smit's Solar Heating and Air Conditioning serve?
The primary service area covers El Dorado County, with a strong presence in Diamond Springs, Placerville, and El Dorado Hills. The company also serves high-value zip codes including 95762 and 95672. If you are located in the broader Tri-County region, including areas farther up or down the foothills, it is worth calling to confirm whether your location falls within the service area. The team is familiar with the specific climate demands of the Sierra foothills, which vary significantly by elevation.What is the Maintenance Membership program and who is it for?
The Preferred Customer Maintenance Membership is designed to help homeowners protect their HVAC investment over the long term. Members receive routine system inspections and valuable service benefits that help identify potential issues before they become costly repairs. The program is especially well suited for homeowners who want consistent, scheduled care instead of waiting for unexpected breakdowns. The program offers two to three tiers of coverage, allowing you to choose the option that best fits your needs and budget.Does Smit's offer financing for HVAC, solar, or generator installations?
Yes, Smit's offers financing options to help make larger system upgrades more accessible. Whether you are replacing an older swamp cooler with a full integrated air conditioning system, adding solar energy, or installing a Generac whole-house backup generator, financing can reduce the upfront cost and spread payments over time. Specific financing partners and terms are best confirmed directly with the team, as options may vary depending on the project type and scope.How can I schedule a service call or get in touch with the team?
Scheduling service is simple. Whether you prefer to book an appointment online, call, or text now, our team is ready to answer your questions, discuss your needs, and schedule a convenient service time.
