"Our thermostat died. My husband called early morning to request an quote for a replacement. Everything else is in working order on our system. He was told he would get a call back. 540pm rolls around and still no call back. Wife calls in and gets the receptionist who refuses to give any kind of quotes over the phone and finally after multiple requests responds that a service call is 89 plus the cost of the thermostat and re-wiring. Wife stated multiple times she wanted the exact same thermostat receptionist refused to give any other information other than stating we would be voiding any and all warranties if we attempted to replace it on our own or had another company do it. WORST customer service EVER. Besides being argumentative the receptionist was either unable or unwilling to give any kind of suggestions on what to do outside of sending a tech out. I spent $10,000 on my system 6 or 7 years ago and let me tell you I will NEVER EVER use this company again."

Central a/c installations FAQs

If you’re replacing an old AC system with a new unit, you can usually clean and repair the old ductwork without having to conduct a full replacement. Cleaning HVAC ducts typically costs around $400, while repairs range from $200 to $1,000. In contrast, installing new ductwork can range from $1,000 to $5,000, making it far more costly than cleaning or fixing existing ducts. HVAC installation costs an average of $7,000 to replace a full system, so staying on top of maintenance and repairs is important.

AC cost efficiency depends on the size of your space and your long-term plans for your home. If you only need to cool a small area, a portable AC unit has a low upfront cost. Heat pumps are typically the most cost-effective option if you want to cool an entire home or improve the resale value. They provide strong cooling while being energy-efficient, which saves you money on your utility bills compared to most other AC types.

Installing a central AC unit typically takes four to eight hours if your home already has ductwork in place. However, if new ductwork needs to be installed, this can add another one to two days of labor to your project.
