Professional AC Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we evaluate your space and existing setup. This includes measuring rooms, checking ductwork, and calculating the proper system size for your home. Guessing at capacity leads to problems down the road.

Installation day starts with protecting your floors and furniture. We remove the old system carefully, install the new equipment according to manufacturer specifications, and test everything thoroughly before we leave.

The final step involves walking you through your new system’s operation and answering any questions. You’ll know how to operate it efficiently and what to expect during the first few weeks of operation.

We clean up completely and provide you with warranty information and maintenance recommendations. Your installation isn’t complete until you’re comfortable with everything.

What's Included in Every Installation

Every AC installation includes proper load calculations to determine the right system size for your home. Oversized or undersized units create comfort and efficiency problems that follow you for years.

We handle all necessary permits and inspections required in Belvedere. Your installation meets local codes and manufacturer specifications, protecting your warranty coverage and ensuring safe operation.

Ductwork modifications or repairs are addressed during installation when needed. Sometimes existing ducts need adjustments to work properly with your new system. We identify these issues upfront rather than discovering them after installation.

You receive comprehensive warranty coverage on both equipment and labor. This covers the unexpected issues that can occur even with quality installations, giving you protection and peace of mind.

Most residential AC installations take 6-8 hours for a complete system replacement. This includes removing your old equipment, installing the new system, testing everything, and cleaning up. More complex installations involving ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during our initial evaluation so you can plan accordingly. The goal is doing the job right, not rushing through it.
AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, ceiling height, and local climate conditions. We perform detailed load calculations rather than guessing based on your old system’s size. An oversized unit cycles on and off frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. An undersized unit runs constantly without reaching comfortable temperatures. Proper sizing ensures efficient operation and consistent comfort throughout your home.
Yes, we obtain all necessary permits and schedule required inspections for your AC installation. Belvedere requires permits for most HVAC system replacements to ensure installations meet safety and efficiency codes. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with local inspectors so you don’t have to navigate the permit process yourself. This protects your warranty coverage and ensures your installation meets all local requirements.
Absolutely. We install both traditional central air systems with new ductwork and ductless mini-split systems depending on your home’s layout and your preferences. Ductless systems work well for homes without existing ducts, room additions, or areas where installing ductwork would be disruptive. We’ll evaluate your space and explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision based on your specific situation.
Your installation includes comprehensive warranty coverage on both equipment and our labor. Equipment warranties typically cover parts for 5-10 years depending on the manufacturer and model you choose. Our labor warranty covers installation-related issues that might arise. If problems occur, we return to diagnose and resolve them at no additional cost when covered under warranty. We also provide ongoing maintenance and repair services to keep your system running efficiently long-term.
AC installation costs vary based on system size, efficiency rating, installation complexity, and any necessary ductwork or electrical modifications. Basic installations typically start around $4,000-$6,000, while high-efficiency systems or complex installations can cost more. We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your specific situation. This includes equipment, labor, permits, and any additional work needed. No surprise charges or hidden fees after we start the job.
