Our AC Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Installation

First, we assess your space and cooling needs. This isn’t a quick glance and guess – we measure square footage, check insulation, evaluate existing ductwork, and factor in your building’s specific requirements.

Next, we recommend the right system size and type for your situation. Whether that’s central air, ductless mini-splits, or window units, we explain why specific equipment makes sense for your space and budget.

Installation day means our crew arrives on time with all necessary equipment and materials. We protect your floors and furniture, install your new system according to manufacturer specifications, test everything thoroughly, and clean up completely before we leave. You get a walkthrough of your new system and all warranty information.

Everything Included in Your Installation

Your installation includes proper equipment sizing, professional installation according to manufacturer specs, and thorough testing of all components. We handle permits when required and ensure everything meets local building codes.

We install central air systems, ductless mini-splits, and commercial HVAC units. Each installation comes with manufacturer warranties on equipment plus our guarantee on installation work.

Murray Hill’s older buildings often need creative solutions for routing refrigerant lines or accommodating new equipment. We’ve handled installations in co-ops with strict building requirements, rental apartments with space constraints, and commercial spaces that can’t afford downtime. Your installation gets the same attention to detail regardless of the complexity.

Most residential AC installations take 4-8 hours, depending on the system type and your building’s requirements. Ductless mini-split installations are typically faster since they don’t require extensive ductwork modifications. Central air installations take longer, especially in older Murray Hill buildings where we need to work around existing infrastructure. We always give you a realistic timeframe upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the installation process.
System sizing depends on your square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, window placement, and how many people typically occupy the space. Murray Hill’s mix of older and newer buildings means each situation is different. We perform a proper load calculation rather than guessing based on square footage alone. An oversized system cycles on and off too frequently, while an undersized system runs constantly without reaching your desired temperature. Getting the sizing right is crucial for comfort and efficiency.
Yes, we’re familiar with Murray Hill’s building regulations and co-op requirements. Many buildings require permits for HVAC installations, and co-ops often have specific rules about equipment placement, noise levels, and installation hours. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with building management to ensure your installation complies with all requirements. This prevents delays and ensures you won’t have issues with your building later.
Central air uses existing ductwork to distribute cool air throughout your space, while ductless systems have individual units mounted on walls or ceilings. Central air provides more even cooling and keeps equipment out of sight, but requires adequate ductwork. Ductless systems are easier to install in buildings without ducts and allow zone control, but the indoor units are visible. In Murray Hill’s older buildings, ductless is often the more practical choice when adding ductwork isn’t feasible.
Installation costs vary based on system type, size, and complexity. Ductless mini-splits typically start around $3,000-$5,000 per zone, while central air systems range from $5,000-$10,000+ depending on your space and existing infrastructure. Murray Hill installations sometimes cost more due to building access challenges and permit requirements. We provide detailed estimates that include all costs upfront – no surprises or hidden fees after we start the work.
All equipment comes with manufacturer warranties, typically 5-10 years on major components. Our installation work is guaranteed for one full year, covering any issues related to the installation itself. If something goes wrong because of how we installed your system, we fix it at no charge. We also offer ongoing maintenance plans to keep your system running efficiently and catch small problems before they become expensive repairs.
