You usually shouldn’t need a new air conditioning system for at least 8 to 15 years. With proper installation, care, and maintenance, your system could last even longer. However, if you fail to maintain or repair your air conditioning unit, you may need a replacement sooner.

While this is a better question to ask during your complimentary in-home assessment, it’s always best to prepare your home for the technician. Make sure that the path to the work area is free of obstacles and tripping hazards, and that your furnace room is accessible. It’s also good to have the outdoor area where your air conditioner will be installed easily accessible.

Usually, installing an air conditioning system will take about 4 to 6 hours. However, this can vary depending on other factors such as whether the installation areas are clear and easily accessible and if there is an old system that needs to be removed.

You do not, but we recommend you are there at the beginning to let us in, as well as at the end. This is the best time for us to walk you through using your new system and address any questions or concerns you may have.

The greatest variance in cost and time for air conditioning installations comes from what type of accessory package you’ve included in your purchase. If you are getting one of our higher-level packages, this would include things like ductwork and venting replacement, which would increase the time and cost of your system’s installation.
