AC Installation

AC Installation

Investing in a new air conditioning system is one of the most significant upgrades you can make to your home. At Res Air LLC, we know it’s more than just a purchase; it’s an investment in your family’s comfort, your home’s air quality, and your long-term energy savings. However, the performance, efficiency, and lifespan of your new AC unit depend almost entirely on the quality of its installation. A flawless installation process ensures your system operates at peak performance from day one, preventing future headaches and costly repairs.

Our certified technicians specialize in providing meticulous, high-quality AC installation services designed to maximize your comfort and deliver tangible energy savings. We understand that every home is unique, and we are committed to finding the perfect cooling solution tailored to your specific needs and budget.

Our Comprehensive AC Installation Process

We believe in transparency and precision at every stage. Our proven installation process ensures every detail is handled correctly, guaranteeing the longevity and efficiency of your new system.

Step 1: In-Depth Consultation and Accurate Sizing

The foundation of any successful AC installation is proper sizing. A unit that is too large will short-cycle, failing to remove humidity effectively and causing unnecessary wear. A unit that is too small will run constantly, driving up energy bills without ever reaching the desired temperature. We perform a detailed Manual J load calculation, which assesses your home’s unique characteristics, including square footage, insulation levels, window placement, and local climate, to determine the exact cooling capacity required.

Step 2: System Selection and Recommendation

Based on our assessment, we will walk you through the best options for your home. We install a wide range of high-efficiency systems, including:

• Central Air Conditioners: The ideal solution for whole-home cooling, integrating seamlessly with your existing ductwork.
• Ductless Mini-Split Systems: Perfect for homes without ductwork, new additions, or for creating customized temperature zones in different rooms.

We will help you compare models, understand SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) ratings, and choose a system that aligns with your comfort goals and financial plan.

Step 3: Safe Removal of Your Old Unit

If you are replacing an existing system, our EPA-certified technicians will safely decommission and remove it. This includes the proper recovery and disposal of old refrigerant, adhering to all environmental regulations.

Step 4: Meticulous Installation and Site Preparation

Our team prepares the installation site by leveling a new composite pad for the outdoor condenser, ensuring stability and proper drainage. We inspect your existing ductwork for leaks or damage, making necessary modifications to optimize airflow. We then expertly install the indoor evaporator coil and the outdoor condenser, connecting them with precision-brazed refrigerant lines. To prevent internal contamination and ensure peak efficiency, we purge the lines with nitrogen during brazing and perform a deep vacuum test to remove all moisture and non-condensables.

Step 5: System Commissioning and Performance Testing

This is the most critical and often-overlooked step. Once the system is installed, we don’t just turn it on; we commission it. Our technicians conduct a series of rigorous tests to verify that every component is operating according to the manufacturer’s specifications. We measure airflow, check refrigerant pressures, test electrical connections, and calibrate the thermostat. This detailed process ensures your system is running at maximum efficiency, validates your warranty, and guarantees your comfort.

The Benefits of Upgrading to a Modern AC System

Replacing an old, inefficient air conditioner is a smart move that pays dividends for years to come.

• Significant Energy Savings: Modern AC units with high SEER2 ratings can be up to 50% more efficient than systems from just a decade ago. This translates directly into lower monthly utility bills.
• Enhanced Home Comfort: New systems provide consistent, even cooling throughout your home. Advanced features like variable-speed compressors and smart thermostats allow for superior humidity control and precise temperature management.
• Whisper-Quiet Operation: Today’s air conditioners are engineered for quiet performance, eliminating the loud and disruptive noises associated with older models.
• Improved Indoor Air Quality: Pair your new AC with an advanced air filtration system to capture dust, pollen, and other airborne contaminants, creating a healthier living environment for your family.
• Increased Home Value: A new, high-efficiency HVAC system is a major selling point for potential homebuyers, increasing the overall value of your property.

Repair or Replace? Making the Right Decision

Deciding whether to repair an aging AC or invest in a new one can be challenging. A helpful guideline is the "$5,000 Rule": multiply the age of your unit by the estimated cost of the repair. If the total exceeds $5,000, replacement is often the more financially sound option.

Consider these other key factors as well:

• Age: If your system is over 10-15 years old, it’s likely approaching the end of its effective lifespan.
• Repair Frequency: Are you constantly calling for service? Frequent breakdowns are a clear sign that a major failure could be imminent.
• Rising Energy Bills: A sudden or steady increase in your cooling costs indicates your unit is losing efficiency.
• R-22 Refrigerant: If your system uses R-22 (Freon), it is outdated. This refrigerant is being phased out, making it expensive and difficult to source for repairs.
• Comfort Issues: If your AC struggles to keep your home cool or control humidity, it’s no longer doing its job effectively.
