AC Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Installation

First, we assess your home’s cooling needs and existing setup. This isn’t about selling you the biggest unit we can – it’s about finding what actually works for your space and budget.

Next, we handle all the permits and preparation work. Your old system comes out carefully, and we prep the area for your new installation. We protect your floors and belongings because this is your home, not a construction site.

Installation day means connecting everything properly – electrical, refrigerant lines, ductwork, and controls. We test everything thoroughly before we consider the job done. You’ll know exactly how to operate your new system, and we’ll walk you through basic maintenance to keep it running smoothly.

What's Included in Every Installation

Every air conditioner installation includes proper system sizing, professional installation of all components, electrical connections, refrigerant line setup, and thorough testing. We handle permits and ensure everything meets local codes.

You get manufacturer warranties on your equipment plus our guarantee on the installation work. We also include a walkthrough of your new system so you understand how to operate it efficiently.

For replacement jobs, we remove your old equipment responsibly and clean up completely. Your home should look better when we leave, not like a construction zone. Most installations are completed in a single day, so you’re not left without cooling for extended periods.

How long does AC installation typically take in Colma homes?

Most AC installations take 4-8 hours depending on your home’s setup and the complexity of the job. Straightforward replacements where we’re swapping out an existing system usually finish faster. New installations or situations requiring electrical upgrades, ductwork modifications, or permit inspections may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly. The key is doing the work properly rather than rushing through it, because proper installation prevents problems down the road that cost you more time and money.

What size AC unit do I need for my Colma home?

The right size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, ceiling height, and local climate factors. Many contractors just use square footage, but that often leads to oversized systems that cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and wearing out faster. We do proper load calculations that account for your specific home’s characteristics. In Colma’s moderate climate, you might need less cooling capacity than homes in hotter inland areas, which can save you money on both equipment and operating costs.

Do you handle permits for AC installation in Colma?

Yes, we handle all permit requirements for AC installations in Colma. Most AC replacements and new installations require permits to ensure the work meets safety and efficiency codes. We know the local requirements and inspection process, so you don’t have to navigate city hall or worry about compliance issues. The permit cost is included in our estimate upfront – no surprises. We schedule inspections and make sure everything passes the first time. This protects you legally and ensures your installation meets all safety standards.

Should I replace my AC unit or try to repair it?

If your system is over 10-12 years old and facing major repairs, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, and repairs costing more than half the price of a new system are clear replacement signals. Newer systems are significantly more efficient, so you’ll see lower utility costs that help offset the investment. We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes sense for your situation. Sometimes a repair buys you time to plan for replacement, but we won’t recommend expensive fixes on systems that are near the end of their useful life.

What brands of AC units do you install in Colma?

We install several reliable brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Rheem. Rather than pushing one brand, we recommend systems based on your specific needs, budget, and home requirements. All the brands we work with offer solid warranties and have good parts availability in the Bay Area. We focus on proper installation regardless of brand, because even the best equipment won’t perform well if it’s installed incorrectly. We’ll explain the differences between options and help you choose equipment that fits your priorities for efficiency, features, and budget.

How much does AC installation cost in Colma?

AC installation costs vary based on system size, efficiency rating, installation complexity, and any additional work needed like electrical upgrades or ductwork modifications. Basic replacement installations typically start around $3,000-$5,000, while high-efficiency systems or complex installations can cost more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down equipment and labor costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges. We also discuss financing options if that helps make the investment more manageable for your budget.
