Everything Included for Proper Installation

Your AC installation includes everything needed for reliable operation. We handle permit applications, electrical connections, refrigerant lines, and ductwork modifications. You won’t face surprise charges for “extras” that should have been included from the start.

We install both central air systems and ductless mini-splits, depending on your home’s layout and cooling needs. Each installation includes proper equipment sizing, code-compliant electrical work, and thorough system testing before we consider the job complete.

Tiburon’s Mediterranean climate means your AC needs to handle both dry heat and occasional humidity. We select and install systems designed for California’s conditions, ensuring efficient operation and long-term reliability. Your installation comes with manufacturer warranties plus our guarantee on workmanship.

How long does AC installation take in Tiburon homes?

Most AC installations in Tiburon take 6-8 hours for a standard central air system replacement. This includes removing the old unit, installing the new equipment, connecting refrigerant lines, and testing the system. Ductless mini-split installations are typically faster, often completed in 4-6 hours. More complex installations involving ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades may take a full day or require a second visit. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly.

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

AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, and ceiling height. Most Tiburon homes need between 2-5 tons of cooling capacity, but proper sizing requires a detailed load calculation. An oversized unit will short cycle, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity. An undersized unit will run constantly without maintaining comfortable temperatures. We perform Manual J load calculations to determine the exact size your home needs for efficient, effective cooling.

Do I need permits for AC installation in Tiburon?

Yes, AC installation in Tiburon requires permits from Marin County. This includes both equipment replacement and new installations. Permits ensure your installation meets safety codes and manufacturer requirements for warranty coverage. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our installation service. Attempting to skip permits can void your equipment warranty and create issues when selling your home. The permit process typically adds 1-2 days to project scheduling but protects your investment long-term.

Can you install AC in older Tiburon homes without existing ductwork?

Absolutely. Ductless mini-split systems are perfect for older Tiburon homes without existing ductwork. These systems provide efficient cooling without the expense and disruption of installing new ducts. We can also install ducted systems in homes with crawl spaces, basements, or attics suitable for ductwork. Each approach has advantages depending on your home’s layout, budget, and cooling preferences. We’ll evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most practical solution for reliable cooling.

What's included in your AC installation warranty?

Your AC installation includes manufacturer equipment warranties ranging from 5-12 years depending on the brand and model you choose. We also provide a 2-year warranty on our installation workmanship covering labor, connections, and system setup. This means if something goes wrong due to installation error, we’ll fix it at no charge. Equipment warranties cover parts replacement, while our labor warranty covers the work needed to address any installation-related issues. Extended warranty options are available for additional coverage.

How much does AC installation cost in Tiburon?

AC installation costs in Tiburon typically range from $4,500-$12,000 depending on system type, size, and installation complexity. Central air systems generally cost more than ductless units, but provide whole-home cooling. Factors affecting price include equipment efficiency ratings, brand selection, electrical upgrades, and ductwork requirements. We provide detailed written estimates with no hidden fees so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Financing options are available for qualified customers to make your investment more manageable.
