The real payoff comes over time. Professional installation means fewer repair calls, longer equipment life, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your cooling system will work when you need it most. During those brutal Long Island heat waves, you’ll have reliable comfort instead of crossing your fingers and hoping your AC holds up.

Everything Included in Professional Installation

Your installation includes proper equipment sizing based on your home’s specific requirements. We don’t just swap out units – we make sure your new system is the right capacity for optimal efficiency and comfort.

All necessary permits and inspections are handled as part of the service. We take care of the paperwork and ensure everything meets local codes. Your installation will pass inspection the first time.

We also handle ductwork modifications when needed. Many East Garden City homes require adjustments to existing ductwork for optimal airflow. If your home needs new ducts, extensions, or repairs, we’ll take care of it as part of the installation process. You get a complete, properly functioning cooling system that’s ready to handle our Long Island summers.

Most residential AC installations take 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement. If you’re upgrading from window units to central air or need extensive ductwork, plan on 1-2 days. Older East Garden City homes sometimes require additional electrical work or ductwork modifications, which can extend the timeline. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe after assessing your specific situation. Weather can also affect installation day – we won’t compromise quality to rush through the job during extreme heat or storms.
System sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, and ceiling height. A typical 1,500 square foot East Garden City home usually needs a 2.5-3 ton unit, but that’s just a starting point. Homes with large windows facing south, poor insulation, or high ceilings need more capacity. Oversized units cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. Undersized units run constantly and never quite cool your home. We calculate the exact load requirements during our assessment to get the sizing right.
Yes, we obtain all necessary permits and schedule required inspections as part of our installation service. Nassau County requires permits for most HVAC installations, and we’re familiar with local requirements. The permit process typically takes a few days, so we factor this into your installation timeline. We also ensure all work meets current building codes and energy efficiency standards. Some homeowners try to skip permits to save money, but this can cause problems with insurance claims and home sales later. Proper permits protect your investment and ensure the work is done safely.
Absolutely. Ductless mini-split systems work well for East Garden City homes, especially older houses without existing ductwork or homes with additions that are hard to cool. Ductless systems are also great for cooling specific areas like finished basements, sunrooms, or master bedroom suites. Installation is less invasive than central air since we only need to run refrigerant lines through a small hole in the wall. You can control temperatures in different zones independently, which many homeowners prefer. We install both single-zone and multi-zone ductless systems depending on your needs and budget.
You get manufacturer warranty coverage on the equipment itself – typically 5-10 years depending on the brand and model. We also provide a warranty on our installation workmanship, covering things like refrigerant leaks, electrical connections, and ductwork modifications we perform. Most equipment warranties require professional installation to remain valid, so DIY installation voids your coverage. We register your equipment warranty and provide you with all documentation. If something goes wrong with the installation work, we’ll return to fix it at no charge. Keep your warranty paperwork in a safe place and schedule regular maintenance to keep coverage active.
Installation costs vary based on system type, home size, and complexity of the job. Basic central air replacement in a home with existing ductwork typically runs $3,000-$6,000. New installations requiring ductwork, electrical upgrades, or structural modifications cost more. Ductless systems range from $2,000-$5,000 depending on the number of zones. High-efficiency systems cost more upfront but save money on energy bills over time. We provide detailed written estimates that break down equipment and labor costs. Financing options are available for qualified customers. The cheapest bid isn’t always the best value – focus on proper sizing, quality installation, and warranty coverage.
