How do I know what size air conditioner my home needs?

It’s not just about square footage—insulation, ceiling height, and window placement all factor in. We perform a full load calculation to recommend the right size for comfort and efficiency. Getting it right means better cooling and fewer future issues.

How long does installation usually take?

Most standard installations can be completed in one day. If ductwork or upgrades are needed, we’ll let you know the timeline upfront. We work efficiently without cutting corners.

Do I have to replace my ductwork when I get a new AC?

Not always—but if your ducts are old, leaking, or poorly sized, they can limit your new system’s performance. We inspect your ductwork during the estimate and recommend changes only when they’ll truly improve results. In many cases, simple repairs or sealing can make a big difference.

What should I expect on installation day?

We’ll arrive on time, walk you through the plan, and protect your home throughout the process. After the system is installed, we’ll test everything, show you how it works, and clean up before we leave. You’ll be cool and comfortable in no time.

How to Choose the Perfect Air Conditioner

Selecting the right air conditioner for your home or business is crucial for ensuring comfort and efficiency. Here are some key factors to consider when making your decision:

Size and Capacity: Choose an AC unit that matches the size of your space. An undersized unit will struggle to cool your area, while an oversized unit can lead to inefficiency and higher energy bills.
Energy Efficiency: Look for units with high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings. Higher SEER ratings mean better energy efficiency, which can save you money on utility bills.
Features and Technology: Modern AC units come with various features such as programmable thermostats, variable speed fans, and smart home compatibility. Consider which features are important for your comfort and convenience.
Budget and Cost: Determine your budget and consider both the initial cost and long-term operating costs. Investing in a more efficient unit may have higher upfront costs but can save you money over time.
Brand and Warranty: Choose a reputable brand known for reliability and good customer service. Ensure the unit comes with a comprehensive warranty to protect your investment.

Paul Marconi was a pleasure to work with and very responsive to all of our questions and concerns. He took the time to explain things thoroughly and was very pleasant and professional.

I called after hours because of a drip from our upstairs unit. A person called early the next day and scheduled a technician. Max did a great job in repairing our A/C unit upstairs in the attic, cleaning the pan and drip pipe. He was polite and knowledgeable. Your service and tech people are the best!! We do have a service contract and so worth it!

Nate was awesome! It was an after hours call. He is very knowledgeable and gave me a few things to try before arriving to see if I could fix it on my own. I wasn’t able to so he came over. He was thorough, although he figured out the issue immediately he still went through and checked everything to make sure it was running correctly. In addition to being knowledgeable he was friendly and kind. Even threw the ball for my dog.
