Why Professional Sizing Matters
One of the most critical aspects of air conditioning installation is selecting the right system size for your home. Using calculations and a thorough assessment of your space, our experts determine precisely what capacity your home needs. This includes proper sizing of your ductwork and calculating how much conditioned air each room requires to maintain comfortable temperatures throughout your home.
The Air Conditioning Installation Process
Understanding what’s involved in your installation helps set proper expectations. Depending on whether you’re building new or replacing an existing system, the scope of work may vary, but typically includes the following main components:
- Outdoor unit installation
- Copper line set installation
- Indoor unit placement
- Evaporator coil pairing with furnace systems
- Thermostat and wiring installation
- Electrical power connections
- Condensation drain system
- Duct system preparation or upgrades
For new home construction, our installation team plans, designs, and executes each step with precision. For replacement installations in existing homes, we assess what infrastructure remains in good condition and what needs upgrading or replacement.
Refrigerant Considerations for Older Systems
If your home has an air conditioning system over ten years old, it likely uses R22 refrigerant, which was phased out in 2010 and replaced by the more environmentally friendly R410A. Since no new equipment is manufactured with R22, replacing an older unit often means you’ll also need to replace your indoor coil or entire indoor unit to maintain system compatibility and efficiency.
