AC Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Installation

First, we assess your space and cooling needs. Not every home needs the same size system, and installing the wrong capacity wastes energy and money. We measure your space, check insulation, and recommend the right equipment for your specific situation.

Next, we handle permits and scheduling. Most installations require permits in Queens, and we take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to deal with city bureaucracy. We schedule around your availability and stick to our appointment times.

Installation day involves removing old equipment (if applicable), setting up the new system, connecting refrigerant lines, and testing everything thoroughly. We clean up our work area and walk you through operating your new system. Before we leave, everything’s working properly and you know how to use it.

Most residential AC installations take 4-8 hours, depending on the system type and complexity. Simple ductless mini-split installations often finish in half a day. Central air systems with new ductwork can take a full day or longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during the estimate so you can plan accordingly. Complex installations in older buildings sometimes require additional time for electrical upgrades or structural modifications, but we discuss these possibilities upfront.
AC sizing depends on square footage, ceiling height, insulation, window placement, and heat sources in your home. A unit that’s too small won’t cool effectively. Too large, and it cycles on and off constantly, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. We perform load calculations during our estimate to determine the right capacity. Most Sunnyside homes need between 1.5-4 tons of cooling capacity, but every situation is different.
Yes, we pull all necessary permits and handle inspections. Most AC installations in Queens require permits, especially for central air systems or units requiring electrical work. We’re familiar with local requirements and have established relationships with inspectors. Permit costs are included in our estimates so there are no surprises. We schedule inspections and make sure everything passes the first time.
Absolutely. Many of our installations are in pre-war buildings and older homes throughout Sunnyside. These properties often require creative solutions for ductwork routing, electrical upgrades, or structural considerations. We’re experienced with the challenges of older construction and can usually find ways to install efficient cooling without major renovations. Ductless systems are particularly good options for older buildings with limited space for traditional ductwork.
Central air uses ductwork to distribute cooled air throughout your home from one indoor unit. Installation involves connecting to existing ducts or installing new ones. Ductless systems use individual indoor units in each room, connected to an outdoor compressor by small refrigerant lines. Ductless installation is less invasive and works well in homes without existing ductwork. Central air provides more even cooling but requires more extensive installation work.
Installation costs vary based on system type, home size, and complexity. Basic ductless units start around $3,000-4,000 installed. Central air systems typically range from $5,000-12,000 depending on capacity and ductwork requirements. We provide written estimates with all costs included – no hidden fees or surprise charges. The investment pays for itself through lower energy bills and increased home comfort. Financing options are available for qualified customers.
