Lower Bills, Better Comfort, Zero Headaches

Your new AC system should make life easier, not harder. When we install your cooling system, you get consistent temperatures in every room, not just the ones closest to the unit. No more hot spots upstairs or freezing cold downstairs.

You’ll see the difference in your energy bills too. Modern AC units use significantly less electricity than systems from even ten years ago. Many Washington homeowners cut their cooling costs by 20-30% after upgrading to properly sized, efficient equipment.

The right system also means fewer repair calls and longer equipment life. When your AC is sized correctly for your home and installed properly, it doesn’t have to work as hard to keep you comfortable.

Home AC Installation Process

From Estimate to Cool Air Running

We start with a detailed assessment of your home and current system. This includes measuring spaces, checking existing ductwork, and discussing your comfort priorities and budget. You get a written estimate that breaks down equipment and labor costs clearly.

On installation day, we protect your home with floor coverings and remove old equipment carefully. New system installation includes proper electrical connections, refrigerant lines, and thorough testing of all components. We don’t consider the job done until every zone is cooling properly.

Before we leave, we walk through system operation with you and answer any questions. You get manufacturer warranties on equipment plus our guarantee on installation work. We also schedule a follow-up check to make sure everything is running smoothly after a few weeks of use.

Air Conditioning Installation Options

The Right System for Your Home

Central air conditioning works best for most Washington homes, especially if you already have ductwork. We install high-efficiency units that cool your entire home evenly and quietly. These systems integrate with your existing heating system and provide consistent comfort throughout your house.

Ductless mini-splits make sense for homes without existing ducts, room additions, or when you want zone control. You can cool specific areas without wasting energy on unused spaces. These systems are also perfect for older homes where adding ductwork would be disruptive or expensive.

Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one system. They’re extremely efficient and work well in New Jersey’s climate. Many homeowners choose heat pumps to reduce their reliance on oil or propane heating while getting excellent summer cooling performance.

AC installation costs in Washington typically range from $3,500 to $8,000 depending on system type, size, and complexity. Central air systems for average homes usually fall between $4,000-$6,500 including equipment and installation. Ductless mini-splits start around $3,500 for single zones, while whole-home systems cost more. Heat pumps generally run $5,000-$8,000 for complete installations. The biggest factors affecting price are your home’s size, existing ductwork condition, electrical requirements, and efficiency level you choose. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
AC sizing depends on much more than just square footage. We calculate your home’s cooling load based on insulation levels, window types and locations, ceiling height, local climate, and how many people typically occupy the space. A 1,500 square foot home might need anywhere from 2 to 4 tons of cooling depending on these factors. Oversized units cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. Undersized systems run constantly and never quite keep up on hot days. We perform detailed load calculations to determine the exact capacity your home needs for optimal comfort and efficiency.
Most residential AC installations take 6-10 hours to complete. Simple replacements where we’re swapping out similar equipment might finish in 4-6 hours. More complex jobs involving new ductwork, electrical upgrades, or multiple zones can take 1-2 full days. We typically schedule installation to start early morning and finish the same day when possible. Weather delays or unexpected issues like hidden electrical problems can extend the timeline. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when we schedule your installation and keep you updated if anything changes during the work.
Yes, we obtain all necessary permits for AC installation in Washington and handle the inspection process. Most AC installations require permits to ensure proper electrical connections, refrigerant handling, and code compliance. We’re familiar with local requirements and have established relationships with Washington’s building department. Permit costs are typically included in our installation quotes, and we schedule required inspections at the appropriate stages of work. This protects you from potential issues when selling your home and ensures your installation meets all safety and efficiency standards.
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures how efficiently your AC uses electricity. Higher SEER ratings mean lower operating costs. Standard efficiency units start around 14-15 SEER, while high-efficiency models reach 20+ SEER. A 16 SEER unit uses about 20% less electricity than a 13 SEER system. For Washington’s climate, 16-18 SEER units typically provide the best balance of upfront cost and long-term savings. Ultra-high efficiency units cost significantly more but may not provide enough additional savings to justify the expense. We’ll help you choose the SEER rating that makes sense for your budget and usage patterns.
Absolutely. We install ductless mini-split systems that don’t require any ductwork. These systems use small refrigerant lines that connect outdoor units to indoor air handlers mounted on walls or ceilings. Installation is much less invasive than adding ductwork to an older home. Mini-splits also offer zone control, so you can set different temperatures in different rooms. For whole-home cooling without ducts, we can install multiple indoor units connected to one or more outdoor units. Many Washington homeowners choose ductless systems for additions, converted spaces, or homes where adding ducts would be too disruptive or expensive.
