Everything Included in Professional Installation

Your installation includes proper system sizing, load calculations, and equipment selection based on your space and usage patterns. We handle permit applications and ensure all work meets local building codes.

Installation covers complete system setup including refrigerant lines, electrical connections, condensate drainage, and thermostat wiring. For central air systems, we evaluate and modify ductwork as needed for optimal airflow.

Ductless installations include mounting indoor and outdoor units, running refrigerant lines, and setting up individual zone controls. Commercial installations involve coordinating with building management and working around business schedules to minimize disruption.

Every installation includes system testing, performance verification, and a walkthrough of operation and maintenance basics. You get manufacturer warranties on equipment plus our installation guarantee.

System sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window placement, ceiling height, and local climate factors. We perform detailed load calculations rather than using rough estimates based only on square footage. An oversized system cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. An undersized system runs constantly and struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures. Proper sizing ensures efficient operation, better humidity control, and longer equipment life. We measure your space, evaluate insulation and windows, and calculate the exact capacity needed for optimal performance.
Central air conditioning uses existing ductwork to distribute cool air throughout your home from a single indoor unit. It’s ideal if you already have ducts in good condition and want whole-house cooling from one system. Ductless systems use individual indoor units mounted in each room or zone, connected to an outdoor unit. They’re perfect for homes without existing ductwork, room additions, or when you want independent temperature control in different areas. Ductless installation is typically less invasive since we don’t need to install or modify ductwork. Both options provide effective cooling, but the choice depends on your home’s layout and your comfort preferences.
Most residential AC installations take one to two days depending on system complexity and any additional work needed. Simple ductless installations often complete in a single day. Central air installations may require additional time if we need to modify ductwork or run new electrical connections. Commercial installations vary based on system size and building requirements. We provide realistic timeframes during the estimate process and keep you informed of progress throughout the installation. Weather conditions, permit requirements, or unexpected issues like outdated electrical systems can affect timing, but we communicate any delays immediately and work to minimize disruption to your schedule.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate required inspections as part of our installation service. Local building codes in Locust Valley and Nassau County require permits for most AC installations, especially when electrical work or significant modifications are involved. We’re familiar with local requirements and maintain relationships with building departments to expedite the permit process. The permit cost is included in your installation estimate so there are no surprise fees. We schedule inspections at appropriate stages and ensure all work meets code requirements. This protects you from potential issues if you sell your home and ensures your installation is done safely and legally.
You receive manufacturer warranties on all equipment, typically covering parts for 5-10 years depending on the brand and model selected. We also provide our own installation warranty covering workmanship and labor for the installation itself. This means if any installation-related issues arise, we return to correct them at no charge. Manufacturer warranties cover equipment defects and component failures under normal use conditions. Our installation warranty ensures connections, mounting, electrical work, and system setup are guaranteed. We maintain detailed records of your installation and warranty information. Regular maintenance helps preserve warranty coverage and ensures optimal system performance throughout the warranty period.
Absolutely. Older homes in Locust Valley often lack central air conditioning and ductwork, but that doesn’t limit your cooling options. Ductless mini-split systems are excellent for older homes because installation doesn’t require major renovations or ductwork installation. We mount indoor units on walls and connect them to an outdoor unit through small refrigerant lines that require only a three-inch hole through the wall. For homes where central air is preferred, we can install ductwork, though this involves more extensive work and higher costs. We evaluate your home’s layout, existing electrical capacity, and your cooling preferences to recommend the most practical and cost-effective solution for your specific situation.
