Step 1: In-Home Assessment & System Selection

The process begins with a detailed consultation. One of our experienced technicians will evaluate your home’s layout, existing ductwork, insulation, and cooling needs. Based on this assessment, we’ll recommend the right system size and type to ensure optimal comfort and efficiency. Whether you’re replacing a central AC system or exploring ductless mini-split options, our team will explain your choices clearly and answer any questions you may have.

Step 2: Removal of the Old System

If you’re replacing an existing unit, the next step involves removing the old equipment. Our team carefully disconnects the system, making sure to handle refrigerant and electrical components safely and in accordance with EPA regulations. We’ll also inspect ductwork and electrical connections to ensure everything is ready for the new installation.

Step 3: Installing the New AC System

Once the old system is out, we’ll begin installing your new air conditioner. This includes setting up the indoor and outdoor units, connecting the refrigerant lines, and making any necessary duct adjustments. We’ll also install or upgrade the thermostat if needed. Our technicians take pride in precise workmanship—ensuring proper airflow, refrigerant charge, and overall system balance so your new AC runs at peak performance from day one.

Step 4: Testing & Calibration

After the installation is complete, we conduct thorough testing to make sure everything is functioning correctly. This includes checking airflow, refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and thermostat response. If any fine-tuning is needed, we handle it on the spot. Before we leave, we make sure your system is cooling properly and efficiently.

Step 5: Clean-Up & Walkthrough

We treat your home with respect throughout the installation. After the system is installed and tested, our team will clean up the work area, remove any debris, and ensure your property is left just as we found it. Then, we’ll walk you through the system’s features, show you how to operate your new thermostat, and answer any questions you have about ongoing care or maintenance.
