Most residential AC installations in Great Neck take one full day, typically 6-8 hours depending on the system type and complexity. Straightforward replacements where we’re swapping out an existing unit usually go faster. New installations requiring ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment so you can plan accordingly. Complex commercial installations or whole-house systems in larger homes may require two days.
AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, ceiling height, and local climate factors. Many Great Neck homes built in different eras have unique cooling challenges. We perform detailed load calculations rather than guessing based on square footage alone. An oversized unit cycles on and off frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. An undersized unit runs constantly and never reaches comfortable temperatures. Proper sizing ensures efficient operation and consistent comfort throughout your home.
Yes, we install both central air conditioning systems and ductless mini-split systems throughout Great Neck. Central air works well for homes with existing ductwork and provides whole-house cooling through one system. Ductless systems are perfect for homes without ducts, room additions, or areas needing zone control. Many Great Neck homeowners choose ductless for specific rooms like sunrooms, converted garages, or upstairs bedrooms that get too hot. We’ll recommend the best option based on your home’s layout and cooling needs.
Most AC installations in Great Neck require permits, especially for new installations or electrical work. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The permit process ensures your installation meets local building codes and safety standards. Simple equipment replacements using existing connections may not require permits, but new installations, electrical upgrades, or ductwork modifications typically do. We’re familiar with Great Neck’s permit requirements and work with local inspectors regularly to keep your project moving smoothly.
AC installation costs in Great Neck vary based on system type, home size, and installation complexity. Basic central air replacements typically start around $3,000-$5,000, while new installations with ductwork can range $6,000-$12,000 or more. Ductless systems vary from $2,000-$8,000 depending on the number of zones. High-efficiency equipment costs more upfront but saves money on energy bills long-term. We provide detailed written estimates that break down equipment and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Absolutely. We provide ongoing maintenance and repair services for all AC systems we install throughout Great Neck. Regular maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and helps prevent costly breakdowns during peak cooling season. We recommend annual tune-ups before summer starts to clean coils, check refrigerant levels, test electrical connections, and identify potential issues early. Since we installed your system, we know exactly how it’s configured and can service it more effectively than contractors unfamiliar with the setup.
