The First Step to Perfect Cooling: Selecting the Right AC System

Not all air conditioners are built the same, and not every system is ideal for every property. In fact, an improperly sized or incompatible unit can lead to short cycling, inconsistent temperatures, increased energy use, and premature failure. That's why our AC installation process begins with an in-depth consultation and precise system recommendation based on multiple engineering and environmental factors. Our AC system selection process includes:

Manual J Load Calculation: We perform a comprehensive Manual J calculation to determine the precise cooling load needed for your property. This method evaluates insulation levels, window orientation, square footage, sun exposure, ceiling height, and occupancy patterns to prevent over- or under-sizing.
BTU and Tonnage Matching: BTUs (British Thermal Units) represent the cooling power your system needs to effectively handle the space. We match the right tonnage (typically ranging from 1.5 to 5 tons for residential properties and higher for commercial properties) based on your property's unique characteristics.
SEER2 Energy Rating Review: We prioritize systems with high SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings. A SEER2 rating of 16 or higher can significantly reduce utility bills and environmental impact compared to older 10-SEER systems.
Zoning Recommendations: For multi-level homes or buildings with different usage zones, we recommend zoning systems or ductless mini-splits to allow independent temperature control in each area.
Smart Controls & IAQ Compatibility: We advise clients on smart thermostat integration and compatibility with air purification or dehumidification systems to improve indoor air quality and system efficiency.

Our goal is not to upsell; it's to outfit your property with the best cooling strategy based on science, performance data, and real-world experience. Contact us today to schedule a personalized consultation.

Precision Installation by Certified Professionals: Down to the Last Detail

Proper AC setup is a mechanical and electrical process that must meet precise engineering and building code standards. Poor installation can lead to airflow restrictions, electrical hazards, water leaks, and lost efficiency. Our NATE-certified technicians follow a meticulous installation checklist to ensure optimal performance from day one. Here's what we take care of during a typical installation:

System Removal and Site Prep: We begin by safely removing your existing system (if applicable), including all old refrigerant lines, electrical components, and ductwork accessories. We ensure compliance with EPA guidelines for refrigerant recovery and disposal.
Secure Mounting of Condenser Units: Outdoor condensing units are mounted on a stable, level platform to prevent vibration noise and allow proper drainage. Units are installed with clearance requirements for optimal airflow and service access.
Precision Refrigerant Line Installation: Refrigerant lines are cut to precise lengths, brazed using nitrogen purging to prevent scale formation, and vacuum-tested to ensure no leaks. We use industry-standard R-410A refrigerant (or others as appropriate), charged according to manufacturer specs.
Electrical Integration and Control Wiring: We install and verify high- and low-voltage electrical connections, circuit breakers, and safety disconnects. Thermostat wiring is checked for continuity, and smart controls are programmed and tested.
Ductwork Inspection & Optimization: Existing ducts are pressure-tested, inspected for leaks, and sealed where needed to minimize energy loss. For new installs, duct runs are calculated using Manual D to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.
Post-Installation Testing: We run airflow tests, check compressor amperage, verify refrigerant superheat and subcooling values, and confirm air temperature differentials at all registers. This ensures your system operates as intended and within warranty parameters.

The difference between an average install and a precision install? Lower energy bills, fewer repairs, longer lifespan, and maximum comfort year-round.
