AC Installation Process

Here's How Your Installation Actually Happens

First, a technician evaluates your space to determine the right system size and type. We measure rooms, check existing ductwork, and assess electrical requirements. You get a written estimate that breaks down equipment and labor costs clearly.

Once you approve the work, we handle permits and schedule installation around your availability. On installation day, we protect your floors and furniture, then remove old equipment if needed. The new system goes in with proper mounting, electrical connections, and refrigerant lines.

After installation, we test everything to ensure proper operation and walk you through basic maintenance. You get warranty information and know exactly who to call if you need service later. The whole process typically takes one day for most residential installations.

What's Included in Professional Installation

Every installation includes proper system sizing, electrical connections, and refrigerant line installation. We handle permits, inspections, and ensure everything meets local building codes. We install both central air systems and ductless mini-splits depending on your home’s needs.

For homes without existing ductwork, ductless installation offers an efficient solution without major construction. Commercial installations include larger capacity systems designed for business cooling needs. Emergency replacement service is available when your current system fails during peak summer heat.

All installations come with warranty coverage on both equipment and labor. We also provide maintenance recommendations to keep your new system running efficiently. College Point residents appreciate having local technicians who understand the area’s specific cooling challenges and can respond quickly when needed.

Most residential AC installations take 6-8 hours for a complete system. Simple replacements where existing ductwork is in good condition can be finished in 4-6 hours. Ductless mini-split installations typically take 3-4 hours since they don’t require extensive ductwork. Complex installations involving new ductwork or electrical upgrades may take 1-2 days. We provide accurate time estimates during the initial consultation so you can plan accordingly.
AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, and ceiling height. A typical 1,200 square foot home needs a 2-3 ton system, while larger homes may require 4-5 tons. Oversized systems cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. Undersized systems run constantly without achieving comfortable temperatures. Professional load calculations ensure you get the right size system for efficient, effective cooling in Queens’ humid summers.
Yes, most AC installations in College Point require permits from the NYC Department of Buildings. This includes new system installations, major replacements, and any work involving electrical or structural modifications. Ductless mini-splits may not require permits depending on the installation specifics. Licensed contractors handle permit applications and ensure installations meet local building codes. Proper permits protect you during home sales and insurance claims, and ensure the work meets safety standards.
Absolutely. Ductless mini-split systems are perfect for older homes without existing ductwork. These systems use small refrigerant lines that run through minimal wall openings, avoiding major construction. You can cool specific rooms or zones without the expense and disruption of installing full ductwork. Many College Point homeowners choose ductless systems for additions, converted spaces, or homes where traditional ductwork isn’t practical. The installation is cleaner, faster, and often more energy-efficient than central air systems.
Central air systems use ductwork to distribute cool air throughout your home from a single outdoor unit. Installation requires existing ducts or installing new ones, plus a larger indoor air handler. Ductless systems have individual indoor units in each room connected to an outdoor unit by small refrigerant lines. Ductless installation is less invasive, allows room-by-room temperature control, and works well in homes without space for ductwork. Central air provides whole-house cooling from one thermostat but requires more extensive installation work.
AC installation costs vary based on system type, home size, and installation complexity. Central air systems typically range from $3,000-$7,000 including equipment and installation. Ductless mini-splits cost $2,000-$5,000 depending on the number of indoor units needed. Additional costs may include electrical upgrades, permits, or ductwork modifications. High-efficiency systems cost more upfront but reduce energy bills significantly. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
