Your Home, Comfortable Year-Round

You know what it’s like when your AC gives out in July. The house heats up fast, everyone’s miserable, and you’re scrambling to find help. That’s exactly when you need cooling that works reliably, not just temporarily.

A properly installed air conditioning system changes everything. Your home stays consistently comfortable, even during Louisiana’s most brutal heat waves. Your energy bills drop because the system runs efficiently instead of fighting against poor installation. You sleep better, work better, and don’t worry about whether your AC will make it through another summer.

The difference isn’t just the equipment – it’s how it’s installed. When your new AC unit is sized correctly for your home and installed by technicians who understand Tickfaw’s climate, you get years of reliable cooling instead of constant repairs and sky-high electric bills.

AC Installation Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

The process starts with evaluating your home’s cooling needs. Not just square footage, but insulation, windows, ceiling height, and how your family uses the space. This determines the right size system – crucial for efficiency and comfort in Louisiana’s climate.

Next comes equipment selection. You’ll see options that fit your budget and efficiency goals, with clear explanations of what each choice means for your monthly bills and long-term comfort. No pressure, just information to help you decide.

Installation day involves removing your old system, installing the new air conditioning unit, connecting all electrical and refrigerant lines, and testing everything thoroughly. We protect your floors, clean up completely, and walk you through your new system before we leave. You get warranty information and service contacts, so you’re covered if anything comes up later.

How much does a new AC unit cost in Tickfaw?

AC installation costs in Tickfaw typically range from $3,500 to $8,000, depending on your home’s size, the system’s efficiency rating, and installation complexity. Higher-efficiency units cost more upfront but save money on monthly electric bills – important in Louisiana’s climate where AC runs heavily from April through October. The total includes equipment, professional installation, permits, and warranty coverage. Financing options are available to spread costs over time, and many homeowners find the energy savings help offset monthly payments.

How long does air conditioning installation take?

Most residential AC installations in Tickfaw take 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement, or 1-2 days if ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades are needed. The timeline depends on your home’s setup, accessibility of the installation areas, and whether you’re replacing an existing system or installing central air for the first time. Mini split installations are typically faster, often completed in 4-6 hours. Your technician will give you a realistic timeframe during the initial assessment, so you can plan accordingly and won’t be without cooling longer than necessary.

What size AC unit do I need for my home?

AC sizing depends on much more than square footage – insulation levels, ceiling height, window types, sun exposure, and Louisiana’s humidity all factor into the calculation. A system that’s too small won’t keep up with summer heat, while an oversized unit cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to control humidity properly. Professional load calculations determine the right capacity, typically ranging from 1.5 to 5 tons for most Tickfaw homes. This assessment is included with your installation quote and ensures you get efficient cooling without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.

Do you install mini split air conditioning systems?

Yes, mini split systems are excellent options for many Tickfaw homes, especially for additions, homes without existing ductwork, or rooms that stay too hot or cold with central air. Mini splits offer zone control, high efficiency, and quieter operation than traditional systems. Installation is less invasive since only a small hole through the wall connects indoor and outdoor units. They’re particularly popular for converted garages, sunrooms, and master bedrooms where precise temperature control matters. The installation process is typically faster and less disruptive than central air systems.

What brands of air conditioning units do you install?

We work with trusted manufacturers that perform well in Louisiana’s demanding climate – brands known for reliability, efficiency, and strong warranty coverage. The specific brands and models we recommend depend on your budget, efficiency goals, and home’s requirements. Rather than pushing one manufacturer, we focus on matching you with equipment that delivers the best long-term value for your situation. All recommended units meet or exceed current energy efficiency standards and come with comprehensive manufacturer warranties plus labor coverage on the installation work.

Do you provide warranties on AC installation work?

Yes, all AC installations include warranty coverage on both equipment and labor. Manufacturer warranties on equipment typically range from 5-12 years depending on the unit and registration requirements. Installation labor is warranted separately, covering workmanship issues that might arise after completion. This means you’re protected if problems develop due to installation errors, not just equipment defects. Warranty details are explained clearly before work begins, and all documentation is provided after installation. Having both equipment and labor coverage gives you complete peace of mind on your investment.
