Third-Generation · Family-Owned
Wally Falke’s Heating & Air Conditioning is a third-generation, family-owned HVAC company serving Modesto from our shop in Turlock, and Modesto sits at the heart of our service area: our crews run Highway 99 north every working morning. Every technician is a Wally Falke’s employee, never a subcontractor, and every job carries our Triple Trust Guarantee.
Cooling · 24/7 Emergency Response
Wally Falke’s repairs all makes and models of air conditioners in Modesto, CA. When a Modesto summer stretch runs past 100°F, a dead AC is a health problem, not an inconvenience, so no-cooling calls get prioritized accordingly. Warm air, weak airflow, short cycling, an iced-up coil: our NATE-certified technicians see each of these on Modesto routes weekly, start with a full diagnostic, and finish the majority of repairs the same visit.
The “$5,000 Rule”: Multiply the unit’s age by the repair cost, and past $5,000, replacement usually deserves a look. We’ll always provide an honest assessment after diagnostic work.

Cooling · Installation & Replacement
Wally Falke’s installs and replaces central air conditioning systems throughout Modesto, with free in-home estimates and financing options. Most replacements are completed in one to two days and sized to your actual house with a Title 24 Manual J load calculation.
A system that seems fine can fall behind during a week-long 104°F run if it was sized by square footage alone. As a York Certified Comfort Expert dealer, we install York systems backed by a 10-year parts and labor warranty, and we handle the rebate paperwork where Modesto’s utility offers high-efficiency incentives.
Heating · 24/7 No-Heat Calls
Wally Falke’s repairs furnaces and heating systems across Modesto, CA, including 24/7 no-heat calls. Modesto winters might not seem rough, but a Tule-fog week where the sun never breaks through will find every weak point in an aging furnace. We still service the post-war floor furnaces running in Modesto’s older neighborhoods alongside current condensing units. Carbon monoxide and gas leak testing come standard with every heater repair, not as an upsell.

Heating · Installation & Replacement
Wally Falke’s replaces and installs furnaces in Modesto homes, typically in a single day, with free in-home estimates and honest guidance. If a repair will safely buy your current furnace a few more winters, we’ll tell you that instead.
When replacement is the right call, we’ll walk you through the real decision points: 80% vs. high-efficiency AFUE, single-stage vs. two-stage heat for fog-season comfort, and whether a dual-fuel setup makes sense for your usage. We’re licensed for both the HVAC and the electrical side (CSLB #312288, C20 + C10), so panel or circuit work for upgraded equipment happens in-house.
Wally Falke’s provides seasonal AC tune-ups and furnace maintenance across Modesto, most often through our VIP Maintenance Plan: two scheduled visits a year, priority scheduling, and exclusive discounted repair pricing.
Maintenance can be the most important service we provide to Modesto homeowners, because Valley conditions are genuinely hard on equipment: summer heat runs condensers for hours without a break, and the fine dust off the surrounding ag land loads filters and coils faster than manufacturers assume.

Year-Round · Repair, Service, Install & Replace
Wally Falke’s services, repairs, installs, and replaces heat pumps in Modesto, CA. The Central Valley’s mild winters make Modesto close to ideal heat-pump territory, and we work on every configuration: ducted central systems, ductless mini-splits, and dual-fuel setups that keep a gas furnace as fog-season backup. Twice-a-year maintenance matters more on a heat pump, since it works both seasons.
Everything heat pumps, from repairs to rebates: Heat Pumps →
Most Modesto homes buy electricity from the Modesto Irrigation District, while PG&E supplies the natural gas. That distinction matters when you’re buying equipment: MID runs its own residential rebate program for high-efficiency AC and heat pump upgrades, separate from anything PG&E offers. South of the Tuolumne River, you may be in Turlock Irrigation District territory instead, which has its own program. We’ll tell you which rebates your address actually qualifies for.

Beyond the Big Six
Usually same-day for emergencies, and often faster than a Modesto-based company mid-summer, because our crews are already working Modesto routes every day. The shop is about 20 minutes away in Turlock, and no-cooling or no-heat calls jump the queue. Call (209) 632-7596 any hour.
It depends on the failed part, and we quote the full price before any work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay. No travel fee to Modesto, and if another company has already quoted you, our second opinion is free. For replacement budgets, our AC installation and furnace installation pages publish real ranges. Financing is available on repairs that turn into replacements.
Yes. The phone is answered by a person 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and emergency calls in Modesto are prioritized by severity, no-heat and no-cooling first.
No. Modesto is a standard daily route for us, not an outlying call. The price we quote is the price you pay, same as a Turlock address.
Our shop is in Turlock, about 13 miles south, and the Falke family has run the business from there since 1969. Modesto is one of our busiest service areas; our crews work there every day.
Often, yes, through your electric utility, which for most Modesto addresses is MID (Modesto Irrigation District), not PG&E. MID runs its own residential high-efficiency rebate program, and we’ll confirm what your address qualifies for as part of any install estimate.
