Most residential AC installations take between 4-8 hours, depending on the system type and your home’s setup. A straightforward central air replacement might be done in half a day, while a new installation requiring ductwork or electrical upgrades could take a full day or more. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly. Factors that affect timing include the accessibility of your installation area, whether we need to run new electrical lines, and if any ductwork modifications are required. We always aim to complete installations efficiently while ensuring everything is done properly.
Central air installation connects to your existing ductwork to cool your entire home through vents, while ductless systems use individual indoor units mounted on walls or ceilings. Central air is often the better choice if you already have ducts and want whole-home cooling. Ductless systems work well for homes without existing ductwork, room additions, or when you want to control temperatures in specific areas independently. Ductless installation is typically less invasive since we don’t need to modify ductwork, but you’ll have visible indoor units in each room. The best choice depends on your home’s layout, existing infrastructure, and cooling preferences.
Most AC installations in Howard Beach require permits, especially for new installations or major system upgrades. We handle the permit process for you, including applications and scheduling required inspections. This ensures your installation meets local building codes and safety requirements. Permit requirements can vary based on the type of system and scope of work, but it’s always better to have proper permits than risk issues later. Some simple replacements of existing units might not require permits, but we’ll let you know what’s needed for your specific situation and take care of all the paperwork.
Proper AC sizing depends on several factors including your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, ceiling height, and local climate conditions. An oversized system will cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. An undersized system will struggle to cool your home effectively. We perform a detailed assessment of your space to determine the right capacity, measured in BTUs or tons. This isn’t guesswork – we use industry-standard calculations to ensure your new system will cool your home efficiently without wasting energy or money.
AC installation costs vary widely based on system type, size, and installation complexity. A basic central air replacement might cost less than a new installation requiring ductwork and electrical upgrades. Ductless systems have different pricing structures 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. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. We’ll also explain any factors that might affect pricing, like accessibility challenges or additional electrical work, before we start the job.
Our AC installations include both manufacturer warranties on the equipment and our own workmanship warranty on the installation. Equipment warranties typically cover parts for several years, while our installation warranty ensures that if anything goes wrong with our work, we’ll fix it at no charge to you. We’ll provide all warranty documentation and explain what’s covered under each warranty. We also offer ongoing maintenance services to help keep your system running efficiently and protect your warranty coverage. If you ever have issues with your installation, just give us a call and we’ll make it right.
