"1. They were quick to take the $7,410 for the Carrier mini split. $2k back they said. 2. The salesman said they would install the unit when both the permit and the unit arrived, but that was a lie. The guys put up the unit and didn't even bolt the unit to the platform outside. The guys left without saying anything. 3. I texted and emailed to get answers, but I just kept getting railroaded and lied to every time someone responded to my text or email. I found out they lied about having a permit when they sent a technician over instead of an electrician. I called the permit office myself and the clerk said to tell them to stop work until they paid for the permit. 4. Now, I'm having to battle to get the electrician to send me his credentials to see that it's an actual electrician who it's coming to complete the install. 5. Fortunately, I found a trusted electrician who said he would inspect the work. 6. I'll update this review with all the photos, including the electrical box, when my local electrician comes by to inspect the job."

Accurate Conditioning is a small, but not tiny personally owned company started in 2004. This company has been built on its reputation and referrals from customers to customer, not big time advertising. So don't call the big name guys and get robbed call the small guy not looking to take advantage of you. Accurate conditioning has a small fee which includes the first 1/2 hour of labor and trip charge. Our prices are very competitive to all the local small company's.

"Accurate Conditioning was extremely professional, fair, and knowledgeable. Everything was explained thoroughly and we are very happy with the finished product. All work was done in a clean and timely manner, and I would highly recommend this company for any HVAC needs. Thank you!!!"

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.
