Our Air Conditioning Installation Process
Our HVAC installation process generally begins with an in-home consultation. It’s an opportunity to answer questions and discuss budget and preferences. We can assess your current AC system and perform a load calculation.
That will provide an accurate cooling output estimate. Contractors size heating and cooling units based on square footage, floor plan, and other factors.
From there, we’ll know the size of the AC you need, and 3- to 3.5-ton units are typical. You’ll be able to explore features in the category along with efficiency ratings and incentives. The industry uses the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER2) to measure cooling efficiency over a full summer.
High-SEER2 ACs have a higher upfront cost but lower running costs. Plus, ENERGY STAR models can qualify you for tax credits, rebates, and other incentives. We’ll help you strike the ideal balance between initial expenses and total cost of ownership.
We will arrive on the day of installation at the scheduled time. Our team will remove your old equipment and ensure its disposal follows proper procedures. After prepping the installation sites, we’ll install the new equipment.
Our technicians will do detailed calibration and testing. After that, they will take care of the city inspection. We’ll perform a thorough cleanup and then a final walkthrough to ensure your complete satisfaction.

AC Systems We Install
We often recommend Carrier’s energy-efficient AC systems to our customers. We also install systems from Lennox and other top brands. Over 90% of all homes in Florida have a centralized air condition system. Central AC delivers consistent and efficient cooling throughout an entire home.
The typical central AC in Florida is a split system, which means that it has indoor and outdoor equipment. We also install packaged systems that have all their equipment in a single outdoor cabinet. That’s necessary for homes with limited indoor installation space and for rooftop installations.
Our team also installs mini-splits, which have a zoned design. They’re superior to window options and a strong choice for older houses without ducts. We also combine mini-split systems with central ACs, such as for bedroom zoning.
Our AC installation services include:
- Central heat pumps
- Ductless heat pumps
- Central air conditioners
- Ductless air conditioners
- Zone control mechanisms
- Whole-house dehumidifiers
- Programmable and smart thermostats
Signs You Need a New Air Conditioner
Whether you need a new central air install or should replace your existing system comes down to age and price. The industry recommends the $5,000 rule as a guideline.
Multiply the age of your AC by the estimated repair cost. If the amount is less than $5,000, then there’s usually good value in repairing the AC. If, on the other hand, the value is equal to or greater than $5,000, you’ll save over time with a replacement.
Consider these signs that you need a new air conditioner:
- Uneven cooling
- High electricity bills
- High humidity levels
- Frequent AC repairs
- Tripped circuit breakers
- Inconsistent temperatures
Energy-Efficient AC Upgrades
There are several ways to save even more money with energy-efficient AC systems. These include advanced thermostat control, zone control, and dehumidification.
Even a basic programmable thermostat can lower your annual cooling costs by as much as 10%. Smart thermostats often have energy monitoring and other features that can lower your costs even more.
Zone control systems can increase those savings to as much as 30% a year. Organizing your AC into zones gives you comfort where you need it. This way, you can avoid wasting energy on cooling areas that don’t need it.
You can, for instance, maintain cool bedroom temperatures without cooling the rest of the home overnight. Zoning requires one or more smart thermostats in addition to a variable-speed air handler and either duct dampers or smart vents.
While ACs dehumidify as a byproduct of cooling, they aren’t dehumidifiers. A whole-home dehumidifier will make you more comfortable by maintaining the relative humidity at 50% or below. A humidifier can lower your electricity use and reduce wear and tear on your AC.
