We look forward to serving you!

"I had a very bad heating system malfunction and our furnace's fan just broke off on right when there was snow blizzard. I had to call people and I was given estimate of 2,000$ that is when someone referred me to "Raleigh Cary HVAC & Refrigeration, LLC". And they did it for merely 620$ and did outstanding job. They were courteous, polite, professional and did way more than I had hired them for; they inspected my other unit (for free) and recommended that I did not need to do anything, they conducted free test of my existing vents and recommended that I get two more vents upstairs where I am always having heating issues. On the way out the owner asked me "brother your front door has these wood planks peeling out let me fix it for you and don't worry about paying". They fixed it also. All in all I paid them 620$ and felt bad for paying much less than what they did. I will always recommend "Raleigh Cary HVAC & Refrigeration, LLC" for any HVAC work."

FAQs for central a/c installation projects in Fuquay Varina, NC

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.
