Air Conditioning Installation in Durham

Benefits of Having a Professional Install an Air Conditioner

When the summer heat is at its peak and your air conditioner is on the fritz, it can be very tempting to try to install a new one yourself. Although having a DIY attitude is admirable, having a professional do it for you can be much more beneficial in the long run. 

Certain safety protocols are necessary when installing an air conditioner unit and making sure all connections are secure and up to code is key. Professionals have experience with these protocols and guidelines, so they will know exactly what needs to be done. 

Not only that, but we can also help troubleshoot any potential issues such as duct leakage or low airflow before they become larger problems. Ultimately, investing in a professional installation of an air conditioner comes with peace of mind knowing that your cooling system will last for many summers to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical air conditioning installation take?

For most residential homes in Durham, a standard change-out (replacing an existing unit with a new one) takes between 8 to 14 hours. If your installation requires new ductwork or extensive electrical upgrades, the project may extend into a second day. We aim to have your cooling restored by the evening whenever possible.

What kind of maintenance is required after a new installation?

To protect your warranty, most manufacturers require at least one professional maintenance visit per year. We recommend a "Spring Precision Tune-Up" where we clear the condensate drain lines, check refrigerant levels, and tighten electrical connections to ensure the unit is ready for the July heat.
