Most residential AC installations take 4-8 hours to complete, depending on the system type and your home’s setup. Central air installations typically take longer than ductless systems because of the ductwork involved. If your home needs electrical upgrades to handle the new system, that might add time to the project. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your free estimate so you can plan accordingly. Commercial installations vary more widely based on the size and complexity of the system, but we work around your business hours whenever possible.
The right AC size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, and ceiling height. North Merrick’s humid climate also affects sizing calculations. An oversized unit will cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and not removing humidity properly. An undersized unit will run constantly and never cool your home adequately. During our free estimate, we perform load calculations to determine the exact capacity you need. This ensures your new system runs efficiently and keeps you comfortable during Long Island’s hottest summer days.
Yes, ductless mini-split systems are perfect for older North Merrick homes that don’t have existing ductwork. These systems require only a small hole through the wall to connect the indoor and outdoor units, so there’s no major renovation needed. Ductless systems are also great for home additions, converted spaces, or rooms that don’t cool well with your existing central air. They’re highly efficient and let you control the temperature in individual rooms. Installation is typically faster and less invasive than central air, making them an excellent option for historic homes or properties where ductwork isn’t practical.
AC installation costs vary based on the system type, size, and your home’s specific requirements. Central air systems typically cost more than ductless units because of the ductwork involved. Homes that need electrical upgrades will have additional costs. We provide free, detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront – no surprises or hidden fees. Financing options are available for qualified customers. The investment in proper installation pays for itself through lower energy bills and fewer repairs over the system’s lifetime. During your estimate, we’ll discuss options that fit your budget and cooling needs.
We install equipment from major manufacturers known for reliability and efficiency, including brands like Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Mitsubishi for ductless systems. We’ll recommend the best brand and model for your specific situation and budget. All equipment comes with manufacturer warranties, and we’re factory-trained on the systems we install. We don’t push one brand over another – we focus on finding the right system for your home’s needs and your family’s comfort preferences. During your consultation, we’ll explain the differences between options so you can make an informed decision.
When your AC fails during a North Merrick heat wave, we understand it’s an emergency. We prioritize urgent installations, especially for elderly customers, families with young children, or anyone with medical conditions affected by heat. While we can’t always complete same-day installations due to equipment availability, we’ll work to get your new system installed as quickly as possible. We maintain relationships with local suppliers to expedite equipment delivery when needed. If installation will take a few days, we can discuss temporary cooling solutions to help you stay comfortable until your new system is running.
