AC Installation Process

How We Handle Your Installation

First, we assess your space to determine the right system size and type. This isn’t guesswork—improper sizing is the fastest way to waste money and create comfort problems down the road.

Next, we handle all the technical work: electrical connections, refrigerant lines, ductwork modifications if needed, and system testing. For ductless installations, we carefully plan unit placement to maximize efficiency and minimize visual impact.

Before we leave, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through your new system’s operation. You’ll know exactly how to use it, what to expect for maintenance, and how to reach us if questions come up later.

What's Included in Your Installation

Every AC installation includes proper equipment sizing, professional installation of all components, electrical work, refrigerant line installation, and complete system testing. We handle permits when required and clean up completely when finished.

For central AC installation, we work with your existing ductwork or recommend modifications for optimal airflow. Ductless systems get strategic placement planning to ensure even cooling without compromising your home’s appearance.

Commercial installations receive the same attention to detail, with consideration for business hours and minimal disruption to your operations. Whether residential or commercial, you get a complete installation that’s ready to perform reliably for years.

How long does AC installation take in a typical Merrick home?

Most residential AC installations take 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement, or a full day for more complex jobs. Central AC installations in homes without existing ductwork can take 2-3 days depending on the scope of work needed. Ductless systems are typically faster—often completed in 4-6 hours. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly. Weather, permit requirements, and any unexpected issues can affect timing, but we communicate throughout the process to keep you informed.

What size AC unit do I need for my home?

AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, ceiling height, and local climate factors. A unit that’s too small won’t cool effectively, while an oversized unit cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and creating humidity problems. We perform load calculations during our assessment to determine the right capacity for your specific situation. Most Merrick homes need between 2-5 tons of cooling capacity, but proper sizing requires professional evaluation—not just square footage estimates.

Should I choose central AC or ductless for my home?

Central AC makes sense if you have existing ductwork in good condition and want whole-home cooling from a single system. Ductless systems work better for homes without ducts, additions, or when you want zone control for different areas. Ductless also offers higher efficiency and allows you to cool only the spaces you’re using. Many older Merrick homes benefit from ductless because adding ductwork can be expensive and disruptive. We’ll evaluate your home’s layout and your cooling priorities to recommend the best option.

How much does AC installation cost in Merrick?

AC installation costs vary based on system type, home size, and installation complexity. Basic central AC replacement typically ranges from $3,000-$7,000, while ductless systems run $2,000-$6,000 depending on the number of zones. New ductwork installation adds significant cost to central systems. Higher-efficiency units cost more upfront but save money on energy bills long-term. We provide detailed estimates that break down equipment and labor costs, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for without surprise charges later.

What happens if my new AC system has problems after installation?

All our installations come with warranty coverage on both the equipment and our workmanship. Equipment warranties vary by manufacturer but typically cover parts for 5-10 years. Our installation warranty covers any issues related to our work. Since we’re local to the Merrick area, we respond quickly to any post-installation concerns. Most problems that occur shortly after installation are minor adjustments or settings issues that we resolve at no charge. We stand behind our work because our reputation in the community depends on customer satisfaction.

When is the best time to schedule AC installation?

Spring and early summer offer the best scheduling flexibility, before the peak demand hits in July and August. However, we handle emergency installations year-round when your system fails unexpectedly. Fall and winter installations often come with better pricing and more flexible scheduling, plus your system is ready when warm weather arrives. If you’re planning ahead, contact us in early spring for the best selection of installation dates. During peak season, we prioritize emergency replacements but still accommodate planned installations as quickly as possible.
