AC Installation Process

Here's How Installation Actually Works

First, we evaluate your home’s cooling needs, existing ductwork, and electrical setup. This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s a real assessment to determine the right system size and type for your space. You’ll get a clear, written estimate with no hidden fees.

Once you approve the work, we handle all necessary permits and schedule the job at your convenience. We protect your floors and furniture, remove the old equipment if needed, and install your new system according to manufacturer specifications and local codes.

After installation, we test everything thoroughly, show you how to operate your new system, and explain your warranty coverage. The job isn’t finished until your home is cooling properly and you understand exactly what you’re getting. Clean, professional work that actually solves your cooling problems.

Most residential AC installations take 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement, or up to a full day for new installations requiring electrical or ductwork modifications. The timeline depends on your home’s specific setup, the type of system being installed, and whether permits and inspections are required. Commercial installations typically take longer due to system complexity and size. During your initial consultation, you’ll get a realistic timeframe based on your specific project so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, most AC installations in South Farmingdale require permits, especially for new electrical connections or refrigerant work. The good news is that we handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections as part of our service. This ensures your installation meets local building codes and protects you from potential issues when selling your home. Attempting to skip permits might save money upfront, but it can create expensive problems later during home inspections or insurance claims.
AC system sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, ceiling height, and local climate factors. A system that’s too small won’t cool effectively, while an oversized system cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to control humidity properly. We perform load calculations using industry standards to determine the right capacity for your specific home. This isn’t guesswork – it’s engineering that ensures optimal comfort and efficiency for your investment.
Central air makes sense if you already have ductwork in good condition and want whole-home cooling from a single system. Ductless mini-splits work better for homes without existing ducts, room additions, or situations where you want individual temperature control in different areas. Ductless systems are also more efficient for cooling specific zones rather than the entire house. The best choice depends on your home’s layout, existing infrastructure, and how you actually use your living space.
AC installation costs vary based on system type, home size, existing infrastructure, and equipment quality. Basic central air replacement might run $3,000-$6,000, while new installations requiring ductwork or electrical upgrades cost more. Ductless systems range from $2,000-$5,000 depending on the number of zones. High-efficiency equipment costs more upfront but saves money long-term through lower energy bills. We provide written estimates after evaluating your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins.
New AC systems need regular filter changes every 1-3 months depending on usage and filter type. Annual professional maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, and testing system performance. This preventive care extends equipment life, maintains efficiency, and catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. We offer maintenance plans that include priority service and discounts on repairs. Proper maintenance is essential for keeping your warranty valid and ensuring reliable operation throughout the system’s lifespan.
