How long does a typical AC installation take?

Most standard central AC replacements are completed in a single day — usually four to six hours. More complex installations, such as new ductwork or zoned systems, may take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline before the work begins.

How do I know what size AC unit I need for my home?

Sizing is determined by a load calculation that accounts for your home's square footage, ceiling height, insulation, window placement, and local climate. We perform this assessment during your free on-site estimate — never by guesswork or a rough square-footage formula alone.

What SEER2 rating should I look for in a new air conditioner?

The federal minimum for new AC systems in the Southeast is 15 SEER2 as of 2023. We generally recommend systems rated 16 SEER2 or higher for homeowners in Mobile County, where air conditioners run hard for most of the year. Higher efficiency means lower monthly utility costs and often a faster return on your investment.

Is a new AC installation covered by a warranty?

Yes. New systems come with a manufacturer's equipment warranty, typically covering parts for 5–10 years depending on the brand and whether you register the equipment. Our installations are also backed by a workmanship guarantee covering the quality of the installation itself.

Do you offer maintenance plans after installation?

We do. Our HVAC maintenance plans are designed to keep your new system running at peak efficiency, catch small issues before they become expensive repairs, and extend the life of your equipment. Ask us about enrollment when you schedule your installation.

We install central air conditioning systems from leading manufacturers, selected for reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance in the Gulf Coast climate. Our installation services include:

Central air conditioning systems (new installs and full replacements)
Heat pump systems for year-round heating and cooling
High-efficiency systems rated 16 SEER2 and above
Ductless mini-split systems for additions, sunrooms, and spaces without existing ductwork
Zoned cooling systems for multi-level homes or homes with uneven temperatures

Existing ductwork condition. If your home's ductwork is in good shape, installation is straightforward. If ducts are leaking, undersized, or deteriorated, repairs or replacement may be needed to get the most out of your new system. We assess this during your free on-site estimate.

System type. A standard central AC replacement typically costs less than a full heat pump installation or a ductless mini-split setup. We'll walk you through the options that make sense for your home and explain the long-term tradeoffs clearly.
