Overview
AC Installation done right

FAQ
AC Installation questions, answered
How long does a new AC installation take?
Most residential changeouts are done in a single day. Larger jobs or installs that include ductwork can run two days. We protect your floors, haul away the old equipment, and leave the space clean.
What size AC do I need for my home?
There is no rule-of-thumb that beats a real load calculation. We measure your home and account for insulation, windows, and orientation rather than just square footage, because an oversized unit actually cools worse in our humidity.
Is it cheaper to install in the off-season?
Often, yes. Installing in the winter trough — when demand is low — can mean better scheduling and pricing than a July emergency replacement. If your system is on its last legs, planning ahead pays.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer financing and pre-approval so a new, efficient system fits your budget. We will walk through the monthly options during your free estimate.
