What Proper Installation Actually Gets You

Your new air conditioner isn’t just about staying cool. It’s about consistent temperatures in every room, lower energy bills, and not worrying whether your system will quit on the hottest day of the year.

When AC installation is done right, you get years of reliable performance. Your utility bills stay predictable because the system runs efficiently. You don’t deal with hot spots, constant repairs, or that sinking feeling when you hear strange noises coming from your unit.

The difference between a quick install and professional installation shows up in your comfort and your wallet. Proper sizing means your system doesn’t work harder than it needs to. Quality installation means fewer service calls and longer equipment life.

Our AC Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Installation

First, we assess your space and cooling needs to determine the right system size and type. Undersized units struggle to cool your space. Oversized units cycle on and off constantly, wasting energy and creating humidity problems.

Next, we handle permits and prepare the installation area. For central air systems, this includes connecting to existing ductwork or installing new ducts if needed. For ductless systems, we mount indoor units and run refrigerant lines to the outdoor condenser.

The actual installation involves setting the outdoor unit, making electrical connections, testing refrigerant lines, and programming your thermostat. We test every component to ensure proper operation before we consider the job complete. Then we walk you through your new system’s operation and maintenance requirements.

Most residential AC installations take 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement of an existing system. New installations where we’re adding ductwork or electrical connections can take 1-2 days. Commercial installations vary based on system size and complexity, but we provide specific timeframes during your consultation. Weather, permit processing, and equipment availability can affect scheduling, but we keep you informed throughout the process and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine.
Central air installation connects to your existing ductwork to cool your entire home through one system. It requires ductwork, which most homes in Manhasset Hills already have from their heating system. Ductless installation involves mounting individual units in specific rooms and connecting them to an outdoor condenser. Ductless systems let you control temperatures in different zones and work well for additions, older homes without ducts, or when you want to avoid ductwork modifications. Both options provide effective cooling, but the right choice depends on your home’s layout and your cooling preferences.
Yes, AC installation typically requires permits in Manhasset Hills to ensure the work meets local building codes and safety requirements. We handle permit applications as part of our installation service, so you don’t need to deal with the paperwork or scheduling inspections. The permit process usually takes a few days to a week, depending on the local building department’s workload. Permits protect you by ensuring the installation meets electrical and mechanical codes, which is important for safety, insurance coverage, and future home sales.
AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, ceiling height, and local climate conditions. We perform load calculations during our consultation to determine the right capacity for your space. Bigger isn’t always better – an oversized unit cycles on and off frequently, wastes energy, and doesn’t remove humidity effectively. An undersized unit runs constantly and struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures. Proper sizing ensures efficient operation, consistent comfort, and longer equipment life. We factor in your specific home’s characteristics rather than using generic square footage estimates.
New AC systems come with manufacturer warranties that cover equipment defects, typically 5-10 years depending on the component. Our installation work is guaranteed, so if there’s an issue related to the installation itself, we return to fix it at no charge. Most problems with new systems are minor – things like thermostat programming or airflow adjustments that we handle quickly. We provide you with all warranty information and our contact details for any questions or concerns. Regular maintenance helps prevent problems and keeps your warranty valid, and we can set up a maintenance schedule if you prefer.
Yes, we regularly install AC systems in older Manhasset Hills homes. Many older homes have existing ductwork from their heating systems that we can use for central air installation. If ductwork modifications are needed, we handle that as part of the installation. For homes without suitable ductwork, ductless mini-split systems provide excellent cooling without major renovations. We also address electrical requirements, as older homes sometimes need electrical upgrades to handle modern AC systems safely. We assess your home’s specific situation and recommend the best cooling solution that works with your existing infrastructure.
