Our AC installation services include traditional central air systems, mini split installations, and ductless AC options. We work with top manufacturers to offer energy-efficient units that fit your home and budget.
For Westlake homes without existing ductwork or those needing zone control, mini split systems provide flexible cooling without major renovation. These systems are perfect for home additions, converted garages, or areas that stay too warm with central air.
We handle all aspects of installation, from electrical connections to refrigerant lines. Every installation includes proper permits, code compliance, and manufacturer warranty registration. You’re covered from day one.
Most residential AC installations take 4-8 hours, depending on your home’s setup and the type of system. Straightforward replacements where we’re swapping out an existing unit typically take the shorter end of that range.
If we’re installing a completely new system or adding ductwork, it might take a full day or extend into a second day. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly.
Mini split installations are usually faster—often completed in 2-4 hours since they don’t require extensive ductwork modifications.
The right size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, and local climate conditions. We perform a detailed load calculation to determine the exact capacity you need.
An oversized unit will cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. An undersized unit will run constantly and struggle to keep up on hot days.
Most Westlake homes need between 2-5 tons of cooling capacity, but we never guess. We measure your space, check insulation levels, and factor in your home’s specific characteristics to get the sizing right.
Yes, we specialize in both traditional central air and mini split installations. Ductless systems are excellent for Westlake homes that don’t have existing ductwork or need supplemental cooling in specific areas.
Mini splits offer zone control, so you can cool only the rooms you’re using. They’re also highly energy-efficient and quieter than traditional systems.
The installation process involves mounting an indoor unit on the wall and connecting it to an outdoor condenser with refrigerant lines. We handle all electrical connections and ensure proper drainage for optimal performance.
Installation costs vary based on system type, home size, and complexity of the job. Basic central air replacements typically start around $3,500-$6,000, while new installations with ductwork can range higher.
Mini split systems often cost less to install since they don’t require extensive ductwork. Single-zone units start around $2,500-$4,000 installed, while multi-zone systems increase based on the number of indoor units.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down equipment costs, labor, permits, and any additional work needed. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
All equipment comes with manufacturer warranties that typically cover parts for 5-10 years, depending on the brand and model. We register your warranty immediately after installation to ensure you’re fully protected.
Our installation work is backed by our labor warranty, covering any issues related to our workmanship. If something goes wrong due to installation error, we’ll fix it at no charge.
We also provide ongoing maintenance services to keep your warranty valid and your system running efficiently. Many manufacturer warranties require regular professional maintenance to remain in effect.
Absolutely. We handle both traditional ducted systems and ductless options like mini splits. If your home lacks ductwork, we can either install new ducts or recommend ductless solutions that might be more cost-effective.
Ductless mini split systems are often the better choice for homes without existing ductwork. They provide efficient cooling without the expense and disruption of running ducts through walls and attics.
We’ll assess your home’s layout and discuss both options during your consultation. Sometimes a combination approach works best—ductless for main living areas and window units or portable options for less-used spaces.
