When your AC is sized correctly and installed by licensed technicians, it maintains the temperature you set without constantly cycling on and off.

Our AC Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your space to determine the right system size and type. Undersized units run constantly and never cool properly. Oversized units cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and wearing out faster.

Next, we prepare the installation area, which might include electrical work, mounting brackets, or ductwork modifications. For ductless systems, we’ll identify the best locations for indoor and outdoor units. Central AC installations require connecting to existing ductwork or installing new ducts.

Finally, we install your system, test everything thoroughly, and walk you through the controls and maintenance basics. You’ll know how to change filters, adjust settings, and when to call for service. We don’t leave until your system is running properly and you’re comfortable with how it works.

Most residential AC installations take 4-8 hours, depending on the system type and your home’s setup. Central air installations in homes without existing ductwork take longer, sometimes requiring two days. Ductless mini-split installations are usually completed in one day. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate, and we stick to it. If we run into unexpected issues like outdated electrical panels or structural complications, we’ll explain what’s needed and get your approval before proceeding.
AC size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, and ceiling height. A 1,500 square foot home typically needs a 2.5-3 ton unit, but Far Rockaway’s humidity and sun exposure can change that calculation. We perform a load calculation that considers your specific situation rather than guessing based on square footage alone. An oversized unit will cool quickly but won’t remove humidity effectively. An undersized unit runs constantly and never reaches your target temperature. Proper sizing is crucial for comfort and efficiency.
Yes, ductless mini-split systems work perfectly in older homes without existing ductwork. Many Far Rockaway properties were built before central air became standard, making ductless installation much more practical than trying to retrofit ducts. We mount the indoor units on walls or ceilings and connect them to an outdoor compressor through a small hole in the exterior wall. Each indoor unit controls the temperature in its zone, so you can cool bedrooms differently than living areas. Installation is less invasive than central air and often more efficient.
AC installation costs vary based on system type, home size, and complexity. Basic central air installations start around $3,000-$5,000 for smaller homes. Ductless systems range from $2,000-$4,000 per indoor unit. High-efficiency systems cost more upfront but save money on energy bills. We provide written estimates that include equipment, labor, permits, and any electrical work needed. No surprise fees or hidden costs. The estimate we give you is what you pay, and we’ll explain exactly what’s included before you decide.
Most AC installations in Far Rockaway require permits, especially if electrical work is involved. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The permit process ensures your installation meets local building codes and safety requirements. This protects you if you sell your home and ensures your homeowner’s insurance remains valid. Some simple replacements of existing systems might not require permits, but we’ll determine what’s needed during the estimate. Permit costs are included in our pricing, so you won’t get unexpected bills later.
We offer emergency AC installation when your current system fails completely during peak summer heat. While most installations are scheduled in advance, we understand that some situations can’t wait. If your AC dies during a heat wave and repair isn’t possible, we’ll prioritize getting you back to comfortable temperatures. Emergency installations may have limited equipment options based on what’s immediately available, but we’ll get you cooling quickly and can upgrade later if needed. Emergency service includes after-hours and weekend availability when temperatures become dangerous.
