What Proper Installation Really Gets You

Your AC system is only as good as the installation behind it. When we size and install your system correctly, you get consistent cooling in every room, not just the ones closest to the unit.

You’ll notice lower energy bills because properly installed systems don’t work overtime trying to cool your home. The equipment lasts longer too—we’re talking years longer than systems that were rushed or improperly sized.

Most importantly, you get peace of mind. No more wondering if your AC will quit during the next heat wave or if you’re throwing money away on utility bills because something wasn’t installed right.

AC Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Installation

First, we come out and properly size your system. This isn’t guesswork—we calculate your home’s cooling load based on square footage, insulation, windows, and layout. Getting this right prevents future headaches and high energy bills.

Next, we handle all permits and schedule the installation around your timeline. Our crew shows up on time, protects your floors and furniture, and gets to work. For central air, we’ll run refrigerant lines, connect the outdoor unit, and integrate everything with your existing ductwork or install new ducts if needed.

After installation, we test everything thoroughly, show you how to operate your new system, and register your warranty. You’ll have our contact information for any questions, and we’ll be here when you need maintenance or service down the road.

How long does AC installation take in Glen Head homes?

Most residential AC installations in Glen Head take one to two days, depending on the system type and your home’s setup. Central air installations typically take longer because we need to connect ductwork and run refrigerant lines. Ductless mini-split installations are usually faster—often completed in a single day. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during our initial assessment, and we stick to our schedule. The key is proper preparation and having the right permits in place before we start, which we handle for you.

What size AC system do I need for my Glen Head home?

The right AC size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window placement, and ceiling height—not just the square footage alone. Many Glen Head homes need between 2-5 tons of cooling capacity, but we calculate this precisely using Manual J load calculations. An oversized system will cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to control humidity properly. An undersized system will run constantly and never cool your home adequately. That’s why we always do a proper load calculation before recommending equipment.

Do you install both central air and ductless AC systems?

Yes, we install both central air conditioning and ductless mini-split systems throughout Glen Head. Central air works great if you already have ductwork or want whole-home cooling from a single system. Ductless systems are perfect for homes without existing ducts, room additions, or when you want zone control to cool specific areas. Many Glen Head homeowners choose ductless for flexibility and energy efficiency. We’ll recommend the best option based on your home’s layout, existing infrastructure, and cooling priorities during our consultation.

What permits are needed for AC installation in Glen Head?

AC installations in Glen Head typically require mechanical permits from the Town of Oyster Bay, and electrical permits may be needed depending on your electrical setup. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service—you don’t need to deal with the paperwork or scheduling. Our technicians know local codes and requirements, so your installation will pass inspection the first time. Proper permits protect you legally and ensure your homeowner’s insurance remains valid. Never work with contractors who want to skip permits to save time or money.

How much does AC installation cost in Glen Head?

AC installation costs in Glen Head vary based on system type, size, and installation complexity. Central air systems typically range from $3,000-$8,000 including installation, while ductless mini-splits range from $2,000-$6,000 depending on the number of zones. Factors affecting cost include your home’s electrical setup, ductwork needs, equipment efficiency ratings, and any structural modifications required. We provide detailed written estimates with no hidden fees, and we’ll explain exactly what’s included. The lowest price isn’t always the best value—proper installation and quality equipment save money long-term.

When is the best time to install AC in Glen Head?

The best time for AC installation in Glen Head is during spring or fall when temperatures are moderate and demand is lower. Installing before the summer rush means better scheduling flexibility and sometimes better pricing on equipment. However, we install AC systems year-round and can handle emergency replacements during summer heat waves. If your current system is struggling or you’re planning home renovations, don’t wait until it fails completely. Early spring installation ensures you’re ready for Long Island’s hot, humid summers without the stress of emergency replacement during peak season.
