Our AC Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Installation

First, we come out to assess your space and calculate the actual cooling load your home or business needs. This isn’t guesswork – we measure square footage, check insulation, evaluate sun exposure, and factor in Belle Harbor’s coastal humidity to determine the right system size.

Next, we provide a written estimate that breaks down equipment costs, installation labor, and any electrical work needed. No surprises or hidden fees after we start the job. We’ll also pull any necessary permits and coordinate inspections to keep everything code-compliant.

On installation day, our team arrives with all equipment and materials ready to go. We protect your property, remove old equipment safely, install the new system with proper refrigerant lines and drainage, test everything thoroughly, and walk you through operation and maintenance before we leave. You get warranty paperwork and our contact information for any future service needs.

For Belle Harbor properties, we pay special attention to drainage requirements due to coastal humidity levels and ensure electrical systems can handle modern AC equipment loads. Many older homes need electrical upgrades, and we’ll identify these needs upfront rather than discovering them mid-installation.

Most residential AC installations take 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement, but Belle Harbor’s older homes often require additional time for electrical upgrades or modifications to accommodate modern equipment. If we need to upgrade your electrical panel or run new circuits, add another day to the timeline. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during our initial assessment rather than rushing through important safety and code compliance steps that could cause problems later.
System size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window placement, and Belle Harbor’s coastal humidity factors – not just a quick calculation based on square footage alone. We perform a detailed load calculation that accounts for your specific home’s characteristics. Many Belle Harbor homes need slightly larger capacity due to humidity loads, but oversizing wastes energy and creates comfort problems. The right size system will cool efficiently without short cycling or leaving humid conditions.
Yes, AC installation in Belle Harbor requires permits through NYC Department of Buildings, especially for new installations or major equipment changes. We handle permit applications and coordinate required inspections as part of our service. Skipping permits can create problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims. The permit process typically adds 1-2 weeks to project timeline, but it ensures your installation meets current codes and safety requirements.
Installation costs vary based on system type, home size, and any electrical work needed, but expect to invest $3,500-$8,000 for most residential installations in Belle Harbor. Central air systems cost more than ductless units, and older homes often need electrical upgrades that add to the total. We provide written estimates that break down equipment and labor costs upfront. While we’re not the cheapest option, you’re investing in proper installation that prevents costly repairs and callbacks down the road.
Central air uses existing ductwork to distribute cool air throughout your home, while ductless systems have individual indoor units connected to an outdoor compressor. Central air provides more even cooling but requires ductwork modifications in many Belle Harbor homes. Ductless installation is less invasive and works well for additions or homes without existing ducts, but you’ll see multiple indoor units on walls. We’ll recommend the best option based on your home’s layout and your cooling priorities.
You get manufacturer warranty on equipment (typically 5-10 years on parts) plus our warranty on installation workmanship for one year. This covers any issues related to our installation work, including refrigerant leaks, electrical connections, or drainage problems. Manufacturer warranties only apply when systems are installed by licensed professionals, so DIY or unlicensed installation voids equipment coverage. We register your warranty and provide all documentation you’ll need for any future warranty claims or service needs.
