Question 1

How do I know what size AC system I need?

Accepted Answer

Proper sizing requires a professional load calculation—not just a guess based on square footage. We evaluate your home's insulation, window placement, ceiling height, ductwork, and local climate data to determine the exact cooling capacity needed. An oversized unit short-cycles and wastes energy, while an undersized unit runs constantly and can't keep up. Getting the size right is the most important part of any installation.

Question 2

What SEER rating should I look for in a new AC?

Accepted Answer

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures cooling efficiency. The current federal minimum for our region is 15 SEER, but we often recommend 16-18 SEER systems for the best balance of upfront cost and long-term energy savings. Higher SEER units cost more upfront but pay for themselves through lower monthly bills, especially given how many months we run AC here in Central Texas.

Question 3

How long does a new AC installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard replacement of the outdoor condenser and indoor evaporator coil typically takes one day. If we're also replacing the furnace or air handler, adding a new thermostat, or making ductwork modifications, it may take an additional half day. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start and make sure everything is tested and running perfectly before we leave.

Question 4

Will a new AC system work with my existing ductwork?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes—but it depends on the condition and design of your existing ducts. Older or undersized ductwork can restrict airflow and prevent a new system from performing at its rated efficiency. We inspect your ductwork as part of every installation and will let you know if any modifications, sealing, or insulation upgrades are needed to get the most out of your investment.

Question 5

Do you offer financing for new AC systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer flexible financing options to help make a new AC system affordable. We understand that a full system replacement is a significant investment, and we want to make sure comfort is accessible. We'll walk you through all available options, including any manufacturer rebates or utility company incentives that may apply to your installation.
