Our AC Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Installation

First, we evaluate your space to determine the right system size and type for your needs. This isn’t a quick glance – we measure square footage, check insulation, examine existing ductwork, and consider your cooling preferences. Getting this step right prevents future problems.

Next, we provide a clear, written estimate that covers equipment, labor, and any additional work needed. No surprises or hidden fees after we start the job. You know exactly what you’re paying for before we begin.

Installation day starts with protecting your home and removing old equipment if needed. We install your new system according to manufacturer specifications, test all connections, check refrigerant levels, and program your thermostat. Before we leave, we walk you through basic operation and answer any questions you have about your new AC system.

What's Included in Your Installation

Your AC installation includes everything needed to get your system running properly. We handle equipment delivery, old unit removal, electrical connections, refrigerant lines, and thermostat setup. All work meets local building codes and manufacturer requirements.

For homes without existing ductwork, we provide complete ductless AC installation with indoor and outdoor units positioned for optimal performance. Central air conditioning installation includes ductwork evaluation and modifications as needed to ensure proper airflow throughout your home.

Commercial AC installation requires different considerations than residential work. We coordinate with your schedule to minimize business disruption and ensure your new system meets commercial building requirements. Every installation comes with manufacturer warranties on equipment plus our guarantee on workmanship.

Most residential AC installations take 4-8 hours depending on the system type and your home’s setup. Central air conditioning installation typically takes longer than ductless systems because of the ductwork involved. If we’re replacing an existing system with similar equipment, the process is usually faster than installing AC in a home that never had central air. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during your estimate so you can plan accordingly. Complex installations or homes requiring electrical upgrades may take longer, but we’ll discuss this upfront.
AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, ceiling height, and local climate conditions. A system 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 your consultation to determine the right capacity for your specific situation. This isn’t guesswork – proper sizing is critical for efficiency and comfort. Most Salisbury homes need between 2-5 tons of cooling capacity, but your exact needs depend on your home’s characteristics.
Yes, we install both central air conditioning systems and ductless mini-split units. Central AC works well for homes with existing ductwork or new construction where ducts can be installed easily. Ductless systems are perfect for homes without ducts, room additions, or situations where you want independent temperature control in different areas. Each option has advantages depending on your home’s layout and your cooling needs. During your consultation, we’ll explain which type makes the most sense for your situation and budget.
We install equipment from major manufacturers known for reliability and performance. This includes brands like Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, and Goodman. We don’t push one brand over another – instead, we recommend equipment based on your budget, efficiency preferences, and specific cooling needs. All the brands we install come with manufacturer warranties and have good parts availability for future service. We’ll explain the differences between options during your estimate so you can make an informed decision about what works best for your home.
AC installation costs vary based on system size, equipment brand, installation complexity, and whether ductwork is needed. Basic central air installation typically ranges from $3,000-$7,000, while ductless systems can range from $2,000-$5,000 depending on how many indoor units you need. High-efficiency equipment costs more upfront but saves money on energy bills over time. We provide written estimates that break down equipment and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Financing options are available for qualified customers.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate required inspections for your AC installation. This ensures your new system meets local building codes and safety requirements. Permit requirements vary depending on the type of installation and local regulations, but we’re familiar with Salisbury’s requirements and take care of the paperwork for you. Having proper permits protects you if you ever sell your home and ensures the work was done to code. We include permit costs in your installation estimate so there are no surprises.
