AC installation near San Antonio from a nearby local team

Replacing your home’s air conditioner is a decision you’ll only make a couple of times in your lifetime. It’s not an unusual circumstance for homeowners to be unsure of questions they should be asking when replacing their AC. Should it be a certain size? How much is it going to cost? How long is the project going to take? Are contractors giving me straight answers? This guide will go through who installs air conditioners from our College Oak location and what’s involved in an AC installation. Hopefully, this information will be useful, plain, and without pressure when comparing your options. You’ll learn about who does AC installation in San Antonio, where we’re based out of, how to get a free estimate, and more.

Unlike an AC repair, where the goal is to get your existing AC back up and running, AC installation involves a complete equipment replacement. AC installation includes removing your old AC and replacing it with a new one. More importantly, an AC must be connected to your property’s ductwork, electrical, refrigerant, and thermostat. The connections are just as important as the AC itself. This page confirms AC installation as our service.

Our Location: You may be wondering where we are located as you begin to gather quotes from various companies. It’s a perfectly reasonable question. Fortunately, the answer is easy. Our shop is located in San Antonio, TX 78249 which means that we operate locally and likely near you.

There are certain issues our technicians run into regularly with installations that are rarely thought of by homeowners before their installation appointment.

• Selecting the proper capacity is much more important than the brand. An oversized cooling system will lower your home’s temperature quickly, only to turn off before dehumidifying the air; leaving the home feeling cold and clammy at the same time.
• Poor conditions of the existing ductwork, such as air leaks, crushed flex duct, and/or inadequate size of the return vents can overshadow the benefits of a quality installation and limit the capabilities of whatever system is installed regardless of cost.
• Also be sure to check electrical requirements, as these details are commonly missed. The replacement may require a different amp.
• A water stain on the ceiling indicates a clogged or poorly sloped condensate line. Drain lines and pans are a common trouble spot .

Another common mistake is choosing a unit before contacting us. Many people have a specific model number in mind, and would like to know what that unit would cost before getting an estimate. However, the details are sorted out during your free estimate, as choosing the right size and configuration depends on your house, not on a spec sheet. It’s okay to do your research ahead of time, but a free estimate is free; ask us.

What the AC installation service includes

In this situation, we’re talking about the installation of an air conditioning unit, a process that may seem straightforward but actually refers to removing any existing equipment from your home, replacing it with your new piece of equipment and reconnecting everything needed for it to function as it’s meant to. Essentially, installation is the entirety of that process.

Here is a typical breakdown of what’s in the scope:

• Removal of existing cooling equipment.
• Place and secure the new unit.
• Connecting the unit to the house’s ductwork.
• Provide an electrical supply to the unit.
• Refrigerant Line Management Between Indoor and Outdoor Components
• Wiring and setting up the thermostat to control the system.

However, regardless of whether all of the aforementioned items have been properly taken care of, a fresh outdoor unit on a pad looks exactly the same. Over time, though, whether or not these four items are accomplished with care will make a huge difference in terms of performance. Some rooms not cooling as well as others, the system working harder than it should… these are a few examples.

For instance, if the existing ductwork is not sized and sealed properly, or in some cases even disconnected, a brand-new air conditioner is not going to fix that issue. Air blowing into your attic is not going to make it into that bedroom. Connection points are just as important during installation as the actual box itself. An air conditioner with all the right stuff on its label will not keep your bedroom cool if it is losing its breath before it gets there.

Months down the line when it’s nice and warm outside and the system is being put through its paces, it’s failing. Guess what caused that? Reuse of electrical connections without verification of power requirements of the new system. Reuse of refrigerant line without verifying its condition to meet requirements of the new system. Shortcuts lead to problems later on especially in hot weather when the system is being asked to work hard.

One of the things that homeowners are often curious about is air conditioner sizing. Many homeowners automatically think bigger is better. In many situations, that’s not always the case. An air conditioner that’s too big may cool a room down quickly but may not be running long enough to pull the humidity from the air. This will result in a home that’s cool but humid. An air conditioner that’s too small will be running constantly and may not keep up with the hottest days. An on-site estimate will take a look at your home and determine the right size. Guessing by matching the size of your old air conditioner is not always the best bet.

Quotes on installation work are always free. By getting a quote and estimate, you’ll find out about your project and the costs involved. This way, you can compare it with other offers at leisure before making a decision. We are happy to discuss your project at no charge.

Find the business address and get in touch

Our location is near the Dub Farris Athletic Complex area, which is on the northwest side of San Antonio. Our exact address is 16116 College Oak, San Antonio, TX 78249. This is where we do the work described in our AC installation in San Antonio page.

For this reason, and others, questions about AC installation are best answered by calling us at 210-549-9550. We’ll be able to answer questions and address any concerns quickly over the phone. Every installation is different, and details are important, from square footage to ductwork to electrical configurations to indoor unit placement. These are the same details our technicians will be looking for when they come to your home, so it’s beneficial to discuss them early on.

This also gives you the chance to ask about parts of the project you may not think of right away, like how the existing ductwork will interface with the new equipment and what kind of electrical supply is available at the service panel. Estimates are always free, giving you the chance to comparison shop without penalty and think about whether to replace your system or have it repaired.

Certain items should be obtained before making a call in order to reduce back-and-forth conversation.

• Do you happen to know the approximate age of the existing system?
• The equipment may be installed indoors, such as in an attic, closet, or garage.
• Have any of your rooms are difficult to get as cool as others in your house?
• If there is a problem at hand, what is the issue?

Common HVAC Problems: Many times, calls for new installations stem from problems that are as simple as disconnected ducting or a thermostat that is wired incorrectly. On the other hand, it is important to acknowledge that eventually, there comes a time when a system is simply due for replacement. In general, it is more productive for a homeowner to simply describe what they are observing than attempt to diagnose the problem ahead of time.

Another common mistake made by homeowners is waiting until the hottest time of the summer to inquire about installation. The process isn’t exactly a quick, immediate service that’s available for implementation. Installation takes planning, including making decisions about equipment and house hookups. Getting the conversation started before equipment has failed altogether gives homeowners more of a chance to figure out what they want.

And lastly, rather than assume what an air conditioner installation may or may not cost in your part of San Antonio, call us and ask for a free estimate. Tell us what you know about how your home cools down, and you can use the information we give you to make informed decisions based on facts, not suppositions.
