Here's How We Install Your System

First, we’ll assess your home’s cooling needs and calculate the right size unit. Too small and you’ll never get comfortable. Too big and you’ll waste energy while dealing with humidity problems.

Next comes the actual installation. We’ll position your new air conditioning unit, connect refrigerant lines, install the indoor components, and wire everything according to local codes. This isn’t a rush job – proper installation takes time to do right.

Finally, we’ll test the entire system to make sure it’s cooling efficiently and explain how to maintain your new AC unit. You’ll get all your warranty information and know exactly who to call if you ever need service.

New AC Unit Installation

What's Included In Your Installation

Your AC installation includes proper equipment sizing based on your home’s square footage, insulation, and layout. We’ll handle all electrical connections, refrigerant line installation, and ductwork modifications if needed.

You’ll also get a complete system startup and testing to ensure everything operates at peak efficiency. We clean up all installation debris and walk you through your new system’s operation and maintenance requirements.

Hammond’s climate is tough on air conditioning equipment. That’s why we only install units from trusted manufacturers and ensure every installation meets local building codes. Your investment is protected with manufacturer warranties and professional installation practices that extend your system’s lifespan.

How much does a new AC unit cost in Hammond?

New AC unit costs in Hammond typically range from $3,000 to $8,000 depending on your home’s size, the efficiency level you choose, and any ductwork modifications needed. Higher efficiency units cost more upfront but save money on monthly electric bills. The best approach is getting a proper assessment of your home’s cooling needs so you’re not overpaying for capacity you don’t need or buying a system that’s too small to keep you comfortable.

How long does AC installation take?

Most air conditioning installations take 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement. If you’re upgrading from an older system that requires electrical work or ductwork modifications, it might take a full day or longer. The timeline also depends on whether you’re installing a traditional central air system or mini split units. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during your estimate so you can plan accordingly and won’t be left without cooling longer than necessary.

What size AC unit do I need for my home?

AC unit sizing depends on your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, window placement, and Hammond’s climate factors. A professional load calculation determines the right capacity measured in tons or BTUs. Many homeowners assume bigger is better, but an oversized unit cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to control humidity properly. An undersized unit runs constantly and never achieves comfortable temperatures. Proper sizing is critical for efficiency and comfort.

Do you install mini split air conditioning systems?

Yes, we install mini split AC systems throughout Hammond. Mini splits work great for room additions, homes without existing ductwork, or areas where your central system struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures. They’re also more energy efficient than traditional systems since there’s no ductwork to lose cooled air. Installation is typically faster and less invasive than central air since we only need to run refrigerant lines and electrical connections between indoor and outdoor units.

What brands of air conditioning units do you install?

We install reliable brands known for performing well in Louisiana’s demanding climate. This includes manufacturers that offer solid warranties and have local parts availability when service is needed. Rather than pushing one specific brand, we recommend systems based on your budget, efficiency preferences, and home’s requirements. Some homeowners prioritize the lowest upfront cost while others want maximum efficiency to minimize monthly electric bills. We’ll explain the differences so you can make an informed decision.

Do you provide warranties on AC installation work?

Yes, our installation work comes with a warranty that covers workmanship issues. Your new air conditioning equipment also includes manufacturer warranties that cover parts and sometimes labor for specific timeframes. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered under each warranty and help you register your equipment to ensure warranty protection. If something goes wrong with the installation, we’ll come back and make it right. Quality installation prevents most problems, but we stand behind our work when issues do arise.
