AC Installation Process

How Your Installation Actually Happens

First, our technician comes to your home to assess your cooling needs. We measure your space, check your electrical setup, and look at your existing ductwork if you have it. This isn’t a quick glance – we need to get the sizing right so your new system works efficiently.

Next, you get a clear estimate that breaks down equipment costs, labor, and any additional work needed. No surprises, no fine print. If you need electrical upgrades or ductwork modifications, you’ll know upfront.

Installation day starts with protecting your home and removing old equipment safely. Our team installs your new system according to manufacturer specifications and local codes. We test everything thoroughly before we leave, making sure you understand how to operate your new AC.

After installation, you get warranty information and maintenance recommendations. Your system is registered with the manufacturer, and you have a local team to call if you ever need service.

Everything Your Installation Includes

Your AC installation covers more than just hooking up equipment. You get proper system sizing based on your home’s square footage, insulation, and layout. The installation includes electrical connections that meet code requirements and won’t cause problems down the road.

For central air systems, ductwork inspection and modifications ensure proper airflow throughout your home. Ductless installations include mounting indoor units in optimal locations and running refrigerant lines that don’t compromise your home’s appearance.

Every installation includes system testing, thermostat setup, and a walkthrough of your new equipment. You’ll know how to change filters, adjust settings, and recognize when something needs attention. The work comes with warranties on both labor and equipment, plus access to ongoing maintenance services to keep your investment running smoothly.

Most residential AC installations take 4-8 hours, depending on your system type and home setup. Central air installations typically take longer because they involve more ductwork and electrical connections. Ductless systems often install faster since they don’t require extensive ductwork modifications. If your home needs electrical upgrades or significant ductwork changes, the installation might extend to a full day. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the initial assessment so you can plan accordingly.
AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, window placement, and Long Island’s climate factors. A unit that’s too small won’t cool effectively during hot summer days. An oversized unit cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. Professional load calculations consider all these factors to determine the right capacity for your specific home. Most North Wantagh homes need between 2-5 tons of cooling capacity, but only an on-site assessment can determine your exact requirements.
Central air works best if you already have ductwork or want whole-house cooling from a single system. It’s typically more cost-effective for larger homes and provides consistent temperatures throughout. Ductless systems make sense for homes without existing ducts, room additions, or when you want zone control to cool specific areas. They’re also good for older North Wantagh homes where adding ductwork would be disruptive or expensive. The choice depends on your home’s layout, existing infrastructure, and cooling preferences.
AC installation costs vary based on system type, home size, and complexity of the installation. Central air systems typically range from $3,000-$8,000 including equipment and installation. Ductless systems cost $2,000-$6,000 depending on the number of indoor units needed. Additional costs may include electrical upgrades, ductwork modifications, or permits. Factors like your home’s age, accessibility, and any special requirements affect the final price. You’ll get a detailed estimate that breaks down all costs before any work begins.
Yes, we install AC systems year-round, including during Long Island’s hottest summer months. Summer installations are common because that’s when many systems fail and people realize they need replacements. However, scheduling may take longer during peak season due to high demand. If possible, consider installation during spring or fall for more flexible scheduling and potentially better pricing. Emergency installations are available when your current system fails completely during heat waves.
AC installations include manufacturer warranties on equipment (typically 5-10 years on parts, longer on compressors) and separate labor warranties on the installation work. Labor warranties usually cover installation-related issues for 1-2 years after completion. Manufacturer warranties require proper installation by licensed technicians to remain valid – DIY or unlicensed installation often voids equipment coverage. Extended warranty options may be available for additional protection. All warranty terms are explained clearly before installation, and you receive documentation for your records.
