Our AC Installation Process

How We Handle Your Installation

First, we come out to assess your space and calculate the proper cooling load for your home or business. This isn’t guesswork – we measure square footage, check insulation, and factor in your specific cooling needs to recommend the right system size and type.

Once you approve the estimate, we schedule your installation at a time that works for you. Our technicians arrive with all the necessary equipment and materials, so there are no delays waiting for parts.

During installation, we handle everything from electrical connections to refrigerant lines, making sure each component is properly installed and tested. We clean up our work area and walk you through your new system’s operation before we leave. Your AC is ready to keep you cool, and you have our contact information for any future service needs.

What's Included in Your Installation

Every installation includes proper load calculations to ensure your system is the right size for your space. We handle all electrical work, refrigerant line installation, and ductwork modifications if needed for central systems.

For ductless installations, we carefully plan indoor unit placement to maximize cooling efficiency while keeping the aesthetic clean. Commercial installations get the same attention to detail, whether you need rooftop units or split systems for your business.

We test every system thoroughly before calling the job complete. That means checking refrigerant levels, airflow, electrical connections, and thermostat operation. You get manufacturer warranties on equipment plus our labor warranty, so you’re covered if anything goes wrong. We also provide operating instructions and maintenance recommendations to keep your system running efficiently for years.

Most residential AC installations take 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement, or a full day for new installations requiring electrical or ductwork modifications. Ductless systems are usually faster, often completed in 4-6 hours depending on how many indoor units you’re installing. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during your estimate so you can plan accordingly. Complex installations or older homes that need electrical upgrades may take longer, but we’ll discuss that upfront so there are no surprises.
The right size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, and ceiling height – not just square footage alone. We perform detailed load calculations that factor in Long Island’s climate and your home’s specific characteristics. An oversized system will cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. An undersized system will run constantly and never keep you comfortable. Our technicians measure and calculate the exact cooling capacity you need, typically ranging from 1.5 to 5 tons for most Hicksville homes.
Central air makes sense if you already have ductwork in good condition and want to cool your entire home uniformly. Ductless systems work better for homes without existing ducts, room additions, or when you want to control temperatures in specific zones. Ductless is also more energy-efficient since you’re not losing cooled air through ducts. Many Hicksville homeowners choose ductless for flexibility – you can cool just the rooms you’re using instead of the whole house. We’ll assess your home’s layout and your cooling preferences to recommend the best option.
Installation costs vary based on system type, size, and complexity of the job. Basic central air replacements typically start around $3,000-$5,000, while new installations requiring ductwork or electrical upgrades cost more. Ductless systems range from $2,500-$6,000 depending on how many indoor units you need. We provide detailed written estimates that break down equipment and labor costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges – the price we quote is the price you pay.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for your AC installation. Most AC replacements in Hicksville require permits, especially when electrical work is involved. We know the local requirements and submit all paperwork to the Town of Oyster Bay building department. The permit cost is included in our estimate, and we coordinate any required inspections. You don’t need to worry about navigating the permit process – we take care of everything so your installation is properly documented and code-compliant.
You get manufacturer warranties on all equipment – typically 5-10 years on parts depending on the brand and model you choose. We also provide a labor warranty on our installation work, usually one year, covering any issues related to our workmanship. If something goes wrong due to installation error, we fix it at no charge. Extended warranties are available on most equipment if you want additional protection. We’ll explain all warranty terms before installation and provide you with all warranty documentation and registration information.
