What Proper Installation Actually Gets You

You get a system that cools your entire home evenly without those hot spots that make certain rooms unbearable. Your energy bills stay predictable because the unit is sized correctly for your space, not oversized to mask poor installation work.

The installation is clean and professional. No damaged walls, no shortcuts with ductwork, no mess left behind. Your new system runs quietly and efficiently from day one.

You also get peace of mind. When summer heat hits hard, your AC works. When you need service down the road, you’re working with the same local team that installed it. That’s the difference between a job done right and a job done fast.

AC Installation Process

Here's How Your Installation Actually Works

First, there’s an assessment of your space. Room sizes, insulation, windows, existing ductwork if applicable. This determines the right system size and type for your specific needs, not what happens to be on the truck.

Installation day starts with protecting your home. Drop cloths, shoe covers, careful handling of equipment through your space. The old system comes out cleanly if you’re replacing one. New equipment goes in with attention to proper positioning, level mounting, and secure connections.

Final testing ensures everything works correctly before we leave. You get a walkthrough of your new system, including basic maintenance tips and warranty information. The job isn’t done until your AC is cooling properly and you understand how to operate it.

What's Included in Professional Installation

Your installation includes proper system sizing based on actual load calculations, not guesswork. Whether you need central air conditioning, ductless mini-splits, or commercial HVAC systems, our approach stays the same: right equipment, right size, installed correctly.

Ductwork gets proper attention. New installations include complete duct design and installation. Existing ductwork gets inspected and modified as needed to handle your new system efficiently.

All electrical connections are handled by licensed technicians following local codes. Permits are pulled when required. You get documentation for warranty purposes and future reference. Our installation meets manufacturer specifications so your warranty stays valid.

Most residential AC installations take one to two days, depending on the system type and complexity. Central air systems typically require a full day for straightforward replacements, while new installations with ductwork can take two days. Ductless mini-split systems often install in a single day. Commercial installations vary widely based on system size and building requirements. We confirm the timeline during your initial assessment, and installation is scheduled to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Central AC uses ductwork to distribute cool air throughout your home from a single indoor unit, making it ideal for whole-house cooling with consistent temperatures. Ductless systems use individual indoor units in each room or zone, connected to an outdoor unit, giving you room-by-room temperature control. Central systems work well in homes with existing ductwork, while ductless systems are perfect for additions, older homes without ducts, or when you want different temperatures in different areas. Both have advantages depending on your specific situation and cooling needs.
Proper sizing requires a load calculation that considers your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, window types and placement, local climate, and how your family uses the space. Simply using square footage leads to oversized or undersized systems. Oversized units cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. Undersized units run constantly without reaching comfortable temperatures. Our calculation ensures your new system provides consistent comfort while operating efficiently, which saves money on energy bills long-term.
Most AC installations in Herricks require permits, especially for new installations or major system changes. Simple like-for-like replacements sometimes don’t require permits, but it depends on the specific work involved. Permit requirements cover electrical connections, ductwork modifications, and equipment placement to ensure everything meets local building codes. We handle permit applications and inspections as part of the installation process. Proper permits protect you by ensuring the work meets safety standards and won’t cause issues when you sell your home.
New AC systems come with manufacturer warranties covering parts and often labor for specific timeframes. Installation workmanship is typically warranted separately by the contractor. If problems arise, the first step is determining whether it’s a manufacturing defect or installation issue. We stand behind our work and handle warranty claims efficiently. This is why choosing an established local company matters – we’ll be available for service calls and warranty work. Keep all documentation from your installation, including permits, warranties, and system specifications for future reference.
Older homes often present unique challenges but can definitely accommodate modern AC systems. Homes without existing ductwork are perfect candidates for ductless mini-split systems that don’t require major modifications. For central air systems, ductwork can be added, though it requires careful planning to minimize impact on your home’s structure and appearance. Electrical systems may need upgrades to handle modern AC equipment safely. Each older home is different, so we customize installation approaches based on your home’s specific layout, electrical capacity, and your cooling preferences.
