FAQ

AC Installation FAQs

Still have questions? We're here to help.

Call (224) 754-7152
How much does AC installation cost?

Cost depends on the size of your home, the efficiency tier you choose, and whether ductwork needs any modification. We provide a clear, itemized quote before any work begins — ask us about financing options for larger installations.

How long does AC installation take?

A straightforward like-for-like replacement is often completed in a single day. Installations that involve ductwork changes or a ductless mini split system can take longer, which we'll outline upfront.

What SEER rating should I choose?

Higher SEER ratings cost more upfront but lower your cooling bills over time. The right choice depends on how long you plan to stay in the home and your budget — we'll walk you through the actual payback math rather than just pushing the highest number.

Do you install ductless mini splits?

Yes — ductless mini splits are a good option for additions, garages, or homes without existing ductwork. We can walk you through whether a mini split or a central system makes more sense for your situation.
