New AC installation, sized right for your home

A new system is a big decision. We measure your home, explain the efficiency options in plain numbers and install the system cleanly and to code.

When to replace

Signs it may be time for a new system

  • Your AC is 12 to 15 years old or older
  • A major repair would cost more than a third of a new system
  • Some rooms are always too hot or too cold
  • The system uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced
  • Power bills keep rising every summer
  • You are adding space or remodeling your home

FAQ

AC installation questions

What size AC do I need?
Size depends on square footage, insulation, windows, ceiling height and sun exposure. We run a load calculation instead of using a simple rule of thumb.
How long does an AC installation take?
Most replacements in an existing home take one day. New ductwork or a full system change can take two days.
Do you offer financing?
On a live site this section would show real financing options. In this demo we only show the layout.
What warranty comes with a new system?
Equipment usually carries a 10-year parts warranty when registered with the manufacturer, plus our own warranty on installation labor.
