- On the day of installation, our team will safely disconnect and dispose of any old air conditioning units. As we haul away the old system, we will also take care to remove any leftover debris and to lay down adequate flooring protection.
- The new air conditioning unit is carried in. This unit is connected to the current electrical system, piping, and ductwork. Our technicians will also add refrigerant to the system, according to manufacturer specifications.
- Once everything is connected, our technicians will perform a full system test. The new air conditioning system will be forced to run for at least 20 minutes to ensure proper performance and thermostat integration.

Benefits Of Buying A New AC
Environmentally Friendly
Today’s air conditioning systems are nothing like those of the past. These newer, energy-efficient models use significantly less electricity to perform the same cooling functions. This, in turn, reduces the size of your home’s carbon footprint.
Fewer Repairs
Older AC units often require expensive and complex repairs. However, when you invest in a brand-new air conditioning system, you will find that your unit requires less maintenance and little to no repairs. This allows you to enjoy a cool, comfortable home, without the added stress of constant repair bills.
Increased Home Value
A high-efficiency air conditioning unit is an attractive selling point to potential buyers. These HVAC systems promise energy savings, quiet operation, and improved indoor air quality.
Preparing For AC Installation
Our technicians will begin the installation process with an in-home consultation and assessment. We will assess your home’s layout and size, while also gaining an understanding of your personal budget.
Once you decide on an AC unit that fits your budget and cooling demands, we will schedule your air conditioner installation.
Because modern air conditioners tend to be both taller and larger than air conditioners of the past, your AC pad may need to be built up or leveled before the new unit can be installed. Our technicians will use a gravel base and a composite pad to prep the site. The composite pad keeps the new unit in place, preventing noisy vibrations or accidental shifting.
Our technicians will safely and seamlessly install your new unit into place. Following installation, we will also thoroughly calibrate and test your AC system. The final result is an efficient air conditioner you are sure to love!
Why Should I Upgrade My Air Conditioner?
Safer Operation
Older AC models tend to use R-22 refrigerant. Unfortunately, recent studies have found that R-22 use has an adverse effect on the environment. Not only does this refrigerant contribute to global warming and the depletion of the Earth’s ozone layer, but it also is incredibly expensive to replace. Because R-22 production was phased out, if your current air conditioner experiences a refrigerant leak, it can be incredibly difficult to locate and purchase this refrigerant to recharge your system.
In this situation, we recommend installing a newer air conditioner that uses a safer, more environmentally friendly refrigerant type. It’s better for both the environment and your pockets!
Reduced Airborne Contamination
Older AC units are unable to effectively filter airborne pollutants, allergens, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds. As these contaminants circulate through your HVAC system, they worsen the air quality inside of your home, leading to worsening allergies and poor respiratory health. Today, newer AC models boast sophisticated filtration techniques, allowing them to capture pollutants before they wreak havoc on your system.

Customized Temperature Control
Does each person in your family prefer a different temperature? Pair a new air conditioner with a smart or programmable thermostat for ultimate control! Together, these systems allow for accurate HVAC zoning. Keep the temperature in one room nice and cool, while another remains toasty and warm.
