Here's How We Handle Your Installation

We start with a proper consultation at your home, measuring spaces and evaluating your current setup. This isn’t a quick walk-through – we’re calculating load requirements, checking ductwork, and making sure we recommend the right system size and type for your specific situation.

The Right System For Your Home

Central air conditioning works well for most River Vale homes, especially if you already have ductwork in place. These systems cool your entire house evenly and integrate with your existing heating system for year-round comfort control.

Ductless mini-splits make sense when you need cooling in specific areas or want individual room control. They’re also perfect for home additions, converted spaces, or older homes where installing ductwork would be complicated and expensive.

Heat pumps give you both heating and cooling from one system, which can be incredibly efficient for our New Jersey climate. They work particularly well in newer homes with good insulation and can significantly reduce your energy costs compared to separate heating and cooling systems.

Proper AC sizing depends on much more than just square footage. We calculate your home’s cooling load by considering insulation levels, window placement and size, ceiling height, local climate, and even which direction your house faces. A system that’s too small won’t keep you comfortable on hot days, while an oversized unit will cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and creating humidity problems. During our consultation, we measure and evaluate all these factors to determine the exact capacity your home needs for optimal comfort and efficiency.
Central air uses your existing ductwork to distribute cool air throughout your entire home from one outdoor unit. It’s typically the most cost-effective option if you already have ducts and want whole-house cooling. Ductless mini-splits use individual indoor units mounted on walls or ceilings, each connected to an outdoor unit. They’re ideal for homes without existing ductwork, room additions, or when you want individual temperature control in different areas. Mini-splits are also more energy-efficient since there’s no air loss through ducts, but the upfront cost is usually higher for cooling an entire home.
Most residential AC installations take one full day, though larger homes or complex installations might require two days. The timeline depends on factors like whether we’re replacing an existing system or installing completely new ductwork, the accessibility of your installation location, and any electrical work that needs to be done. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during our initial consultation so you can plan accordingly. We work efficiently but never rush the important details like proper connections, system testing, and cleanup.
Yes, replacing your AC before it fails completely is usually the smart move. If your system is over 10-12 years old and requiring frequent repairs, or if your energy bills keep climbing despite normal usage, it’s time to start planning for replacement. Waiting until it dies completely means you’re making decisions under pressure during the hottest part of summer, when availability is limited and you might not get the best deal. Planning ahead gives you time to research options, compare prices, and schedule installation at your convenience rather than in emergency mode.
AC installation costs vary significantly based on the system type, size, and complexity of your installation. Central air systems typically range from $3,000 to $7,000 for most River Vale homes, while ductless mini-splits can range from $2,000 for a single zone to $10,000+ for whole-house coverage. Heat pumps generally fall in the $4,000 to $8,000 range. These prices include equipment, installation, and basic electrical work. We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying for without any surprise charges.
