An AC install is one of the largest home investments you'll make — and the difference between a great install and a bad one shows up on every utility bill for the next 15 years. We size systems correctly using a Manual J load calculation (not 'rule of thumb'), match the equipment to your actual home and ductwork, and install with the kind of attention to detail that determines whether a system lasts 8 years or 20.
What's Included With Every Install
Every installation includes:
- Manual J heat load calculation (most installers skip this — it's why so many homes have oversized, short-cycling systems)
- Pre-install ductwork inspection — sealed, modified, or replaced as needed
- New copper line set (we don't reuse existing line sets unless they pass a nitrogen pressure test)
- New disconnect, whip, and pad outdoors
- Float switch + condensate safety on the indoor unit
- System-matched air handler or coil — never mix-and-match
- Nitrogen-purged brazing (no flux contamination in the system)
- Triple-evacuation to 500 microns or lower
- Full commissioning report — supply temps, return temps, static pressure, amp draw, refrigerant subcool/superheat
- Manufacturer warranty registration (homeowners forget; we don't)
Brands We Install
We're independent — not locked to any single manufacturer. Most installs we do are Trane, Carrier, Goodman, or Lennox, but we'll match the system to your priorities (efficiency, budget, warranty, parts availability). If a salesperson is pushing one brand only, that's a sales decision, not an engineering one.
Sizing — Why It Matters More Than the Brand
An oversized AC will cool your house quickly but never run long enough to dehumidify. You'll feel cold and clammy at 75°. An undersized unit runs constantly and never catches up. Both kill efficiency and lifespan. We perform a true Manual J calculation that accounts for your home's square footage, insulation, window count and orientation, ceiling height, and air infiltration — and pick a system from there. Not 'one ton per 600 square feet.'
Financing
Most installs run $7,000–$14,000 depending on tonnage, efficiency tier, and ductwork condition. We offer 0% financing for qualified buyers and longer-term plans for whole-system upgrades. Approval in minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an install take?
A standard residential changeout (replacing both the indoor and outdoor units, no ductwork modifications) is a one-day job, usually 6–8 hours. Whole-system replacements with new ductwork can run 2–3 days.
Will I really save money on energy bills?
Yes, if your existing system is more than 10 years old. A modern 16 SEER2 system uses roughly 30–40% less energy than a 13 SEER unit from 2010. The savings depend on your usage and electric rate.
What warranty do I get?
10-year manufacturer parts warranty (registered for you) + 1-year labor warranty from us. Extended labor warranties available.
Can you install during peak summer?
Yes, and that's when most replacements happen. We schedule next-day for emergency replacements during heat waves.
