Ready to get started?
Our AC installation service includes everything you need for reliable cooling. We install energy-efficient mini split systems, traditional central air units, and ductless solutions designed to handle Loomis’s hot, dry summers effectively.
Every installation includes proper electrical connections, refrigerant line installation, system commissioning, and thorough testing. We also handle permits when required and ensure all work meets local building codes and manufacturer warranty requirements.
For Loomis homeowners, we particularly recommend mini split systems because they’re perfect for our climate. They provide precise temperature control, use significantly less energy than traditional systems, and work exceptionally well in homes without existing ductwork. Many of our local customers see immediate energy savings, especially during those peak summer months when temperatures stay above 90 degrees for weeks at a time.
We also offer same-day installation availability and 24/7 emergency service, because we know AC problems don’t wait for convenient timing, especially during Loomis’s intense summer heat waves.
AC installation costs in Loomis typically range from $2,500 to $7,500, depending on the system type and size you choose. Mini split systems generally cost between $2,000 and $5,000, while traditional central air systems range from $3,500 to $7,500.
The final cost depends on several factors: your home’s size, the system’s efficiency rating, installation complexity, and whether you need electrical upgrades. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most Loomis homeowners find that higher-efficiency systems pay for themselves through lower energy bills, especially given our hot summers. We’ll help you choose a system that balances upfront costs with long-term savings based on your specific needs and budget.
Proper AC sizing requires calculating your home’s cooling load, which considers square footage, insulation, window placement, and Loomis’s specific climate conditions. A system that’s too small won’t keep you comfortable during 95-degree days, while an oversized unit wastes energy and creates humidity problems.
For most Loomis homes, we typically install units ranging from 2-5 tons for whole-house cooling. Mini split systems offer more flexibility, with individual zones ranging from 9,000 to 36,000 BTUs depending on room size and usage.
Our technicians perform detailed load calculations during your free estimate, measuring your home and considering factors like ceiling height, insulation quality, and sun exposure. This ensures you get a system that’s perfectly matched to your home’s needs and our local climate demands.
Most AC installations in Loomis homes take 5-10 hours to complete, typically finished in a single day. Mini split installations are often faster since they don’t require ductwork modifications, while central air systems may take longer if electrical upgrades or ductwork changes are needed.
The timeline depends on your specific installation: single-zone mini splits can often be completed in 4-6 hours, while multi-zone systems or central air replacements may require 8-12 hours. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe during your estimate.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine and always clean up thoroughly before leaving. Our goal is to have your new system running and keeping you comfortable by the end of the day, especially important during Loomis’s hot summer months.
Mini split systems are excellent for Loomis’s hot, dry climate. They’re designed to operate efficiently in high temperatures and actually work better in our low-humidity environment than in more humid climates. Many of our Loomis customers see 20-60% better efficiency compared to their old central air systems.
The key advantages for our local climate include precise temperature control, no energy loss through ductwork, and the ability to cool only the rooms you’re using. During those week-long stretches above 90 degrees, this targeted cooling approach significantly reduces energy costs.
Mini splits also handle temperature swings well, quickly adjusting when outdoor temperatures change throughout the day. They’re particularly effective for homes with challenging layouts or rooms that traditional systems struggle to keep comfortable during peak summer heat.
