Question 1

How much does a new AC cost installed in the Triangle?

Accepted Answer

AC installation costs range from $4,200-$7,500 depending on size (2-5 tons), efficiency (SEER rating 14-20), and complexity. A typical 3-ton, 16 SEER system for a 1,800 sq ft home lands in the middle of that range. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your cooling needs and home layout.

Question 2

What size AC do I need for my home?

Accepted Answer

AC sizing is critical and depends on square footage, insulation quality, window count, ductwork condition, and ceiling height. We perform professional Manual J load calculations to size your system correctly. An oversized AC short-cycles and doesn't dehumidify properly. An undersized AC runs constantly and can't keep up. Proper sizing ensures comfort and efficiency.

Question 3

How long does AC installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most AC installations are completed in 1 day (6-10 hours total). Straightforward replacements can be done in 6-8 hours. More complex installations requiring ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or difficult access may take 2 days. We'll give you a clear timeline during the quote.

Question 4

What AC brands do you recommend for the Triangle?

Accepted Answer

We install premium brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, and Goodman. For Triangle summers, we recommend 16-18 SEER systems as the sweet spot for efficiency and value. Higher SEER (19-20) is great if you plan to stay long-term. We'll help you choose based on budget and goals.

Question 5

Is a higher SEER AC worth it in North Carolina?

Accepted Answer

In the Triangle, yes! Higher SEER systems cost $800-$2,000 more upfront but save 20-40% on cooling costs. With our hot, long summers, a 16-18 SEER system typically pays for itself in 5-7 years through lower energy bills. If you're staying in your home long-term, higher SEER is a smart investment.

Question 6

Do you offer financing for AC installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer flexible financing with approved credit, including 0% APR for 12 months on qualifying systems. Monthly payment plans up to 60 months available. Don't let upfront cost prevent you from staying cool - we have options to fit your budget.

Question 7

What rebates are available for new AC installation?

Accepted Answer

Duke Energy offers rebates up to $650 for high-efficiency AC systems (16+ SEER). We help you navigate rebate applications to maximize your savings. Federal tax credits may also apply for high-efficiency systems - ask us for details during your quote.
