Every Type of System We Install

Central air conditioning remains the most popular choice for whole-home cooling, especially in Rutherford’s traditional housing stock. We install high-efficiency units that work with your existing ductwork and deliver consistent comfort throughout your home.

Ductless mini-split systems work perfectly for homes without existing ductwork, room additions, or when you want zone control. These systems let you cool specific areas efficiently without the expense of installing new ducts.

Heat pumps offer both heating and cooling in one system, making them ideal for homeowners looking to reduce their reliance on oil or gas heating. Modern heat pumps work efficiently even in New Jersey’s winter temperatures and can significantly reduce your energy costs year-round.

Proper AC sizing depends on several factors beyond just square footage. We calculate your home’s cooling load by measuring the space, evaluating insulation quality, window exposure, ceiling height, and ductwork condition. An oversized unit will cycle on and off frequently, leading to poor humidity control and higher energy bills. An undersized unit will run constantly and never reach your desired temperature. Our technicians perform detailed load calculations to determine the exact capacity your home needs for optimal efficiency and comfort.
Central air conditioning uses your existing ductwork to distribute cool air throughout your home from a single outdoor unit. It’s ideal for homes that already have ducts and want whole-home cooling from one system. Ductless mini-splits use individual indoor units connected to an outdoor compressor, with no ductwork required. They’re perfect for homes without existing ducts, room additions, or when you want zone control to cool specific areas. Mini-splits are typically more energy-efficient since there’s no duct loss, but central air provides more uniform cooling throughout the entire home.
Most residential AC installations take one to two days, depending on the complexity of your system and any modifications needed. A straightforward central air replacement with existing ductwork usually takes 6-8 hours. Ductless mini-split installations can often be completed in 4-6 hours for single-zone systems. More complex installations involving ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or multiple zones may require additional time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you informed throughout the process so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, AC installation in Rutherford typically requires permits, especially for new installations or when electrical work is involved. We handle all permit applications and ensure your installation meets local building codes and manufacturer specifications. This protects you from potential issues during home inspections or insurance claims. The permit process usually adds a few days to the project timeline, but it’s essential for legal compliance and your peace of mind. We know Rutherford’s requirements and work directly with local inspectors to ensure everything is approved properly.
AC installation costs vary significantly based on system type, size, and complexity of the installation. Central air systems typically range from $3,000 to $8,000 including installation, while ductless mini-splits can range from $2,500 to $6,000 depending on the number of zones. Heat pumps generally fall in the $4,000 to $10,000 range. Factors affecting cost include your home’s size, existing ductwork condition, electrical requirements, and the efficiency level you choose. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
We start by protecting your floors and furniture, then carefully remove your old equipment. Our technicians install the new outdoor unit, connect refrigerant lines, and set up the indoor components. For central air, we’ll connect to your existing ductwork or install new ducts if needed. We test the entire system thoroughly, check refrigerant levels, verify proper airflow, and program your thermostat. Before we leave, we’ll walk you through operating your new system and answer any questions. We clean up completely and dispose of your old equipment properly, leaving your home clean and your new AC system ready to use.
