Our AC Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Installation

First, we assess your space and cooling needs. We measure your home, check your electrical system, and discuss your comfort preferences and budget. This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s about finding the right system size and type for your specific situation.

Next, we handle the permits and schedule your installation. Our team arrives with all necessary equipment and materials. We protect your floors and furniture, remove your old system if needed, and install your new AC according to manufacturer specifications.

Finally, we test everything thoroughly, show you how to operate your new system, and clean up completely. You get all warranty information and our contact details for any questions. The whole process typically takes one day for most residential installations.

What's Included in Every Installation

Every AC installation includes proper system sizing calculations, electrical connections, refrigerant lines, condensate drainage, and ductwork connections. We handle all required permits and arrange inspections to ensure code compliance.

You get manufacturer warranties on equipment plus our guarantee on installation workmanship. We install central air systems, ductless mini-splits, and commercial HVAC units. For older Port Washington homes, we often recommend ductless systems that don’t require extensive ductwork modifications.

We also provide honest advice about energy efficiency options and available rebates through PSEG Long Island. Our goal is getting you the right system installed properly, not selling you the most expensive option.

Most residential AC installations take 6-8 hours for a complete system replacement. Ductless mini-split installations are often faster, typically 4-6 hours depending on the number of indoor units. New construction or homes requiring ductwork modifications may take 1-2 days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly. Weather and permit processing can occasionally cause delays, but we communicate any changes immediately.
System sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, and Port Washington’s climate conditions. We perform detailed load calculations rather than guessing based on square footage alone. An oversized system cycles on and off frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. An undersized system runs constantly and never reaches comfortable temperatures. Our technicians measure and calculate to determine the exact capacity your home needs for efficient, effective cooling.
Yes, most AC installations in Port Washington require permits from the local building department. We handle all permit applications and schedule required inspections as part of our service. The permit process typically takes 3-5 business days, which we factor into your installation timeline. Permits ensure your installation meets local codes and safety requirements. Skipping permits can cause problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims, so we always do installations by the book.
It depends on your existing ductwork and home layout. If you have good existing ducts, central air often makes sense and costs less upfront. For homes without ducts, older homes with limited space, or room additions, ductless mini-splits work better. Ductless systems also allow zone control, so you can cool specific areas without conditioning the entire house. We evaluate your specific situation and explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision.
Installation costs vary based on system type, size, and complexity of the job. Basic central air replacement typically ranges from $3,000-$7,000 including equipment and installation. Ductless systems vary widely depending on the number of zones needed. New ductwork installation adds significant cost. We provide detailed written estimates that break down equipment, labor, permits, and any additional work needed. No surprises or hidden fees – you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
You get manufacturer warranties on all equipment – typically 5-10 years on parts and sometimes longer on compressors. We also provide our own warranty on installation workmanship, usually one year covering any issues related to our work. Manufacturer warranties require professional installation to remain valid, which is why DIY installation often voids coverage. We register your equipment warranties and provide all documentation. If you have any issues, we handle warranty claims and service calls to keep your system running properly.
