Every AC installation includes professional system sizing, proper refrigerant line installation, electrical connections, and thorough testing. We don’t cut corners on the details that keep your system running efficiently.
Polk residents often choose mini split systems because they cool specific rooms without ductwork. Perfect for home additions, older homes, or when you want different temperatures in different areas. Installation typically takes one day for single-zone systems.
We install all major brands and handle everything from permits to final inspection. Your system comes with manufacturer warranty plus our lifetime repair guarantee. If something goes wrong with our installation work, we fix it at no charge.
AC installation costs vary based on system type, size, and installation complexity. Mini split systems typically range from $3,000 to $8,000 for single-zone installations, while multi-zone systems cost more.
Factors affecting price include your home’s electrical setup, permit requirements, and system efficiency rating. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
Every quote includes equipment, installation labor, permits, and our lifetime repair guarantee. We’ll explain exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
Mini split systems don’t require ductwork, making installation faster and less invasive. They’re perfect for cooling specific rooms or additions where running ducts isn’t practical.
Central AC systems cool your entire home through existing or new ductwork. Installation is more complex but provides whole-home cooling from one system.
Mini splits offer room-by-room temperature control and typically cost 20-30% less to operate. Central systems work better for homes that need consistent temperature throughout.
Single-zone mini split installation typically takes 4-6 hours. Multi-zone systems require 6-10 hours depending on the number of indoor units and installation complexity.
Central AC installation usually takes 1-2 days, especially if ductwork modifications are needed. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during your estimate.
We start early and work efficiently to minimize disruption. Most customers have cool air the same day we begin installation.
Yes, most AC installations in Polk require permits, especially for electrical work and refrigerant systems. Permit costs typically range from $250-$400 depending on system complexity.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. You don’t need to deal with city offices or paperwork.
Proper permits ensure your installation meets local codes and protects your home insurance coverage. Skipping permits can cause problems if you sell your home later.
System sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, and California’s climate demands. A 1,200 square foot home typically needs 24,000-36,000 BTU capacity.
Oversized systems cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy and failing to control humidity. Undersized systems run constantly and never reach comfortable temperatures.
We perform detailed load calculations during your estimate to determine the right size. Proper sizing ensures efficient operation and maximum comfort.
We offer something most companies don’t: a lifetime repair guarantee on our installation work. If our installation causes problems, we fix it free forever.
Our technicians are trained specifically on California climate demands and local building codes. We know which systems work best in Polk’s heat and how to install them properly.
We provide same-day service when possible and 24/7 emergency support. When your AC fails on the hottest day of the year, we’re available to help.
