"Henry was professional and thorough. He went out his was to see that our heat was restored on the coldest day of the year. You can spend a significant amount of money dealing with the big HVAC advertisers in our market but why pay for their ads when you really want competent service? This company provided me everything I expected in a repair."

The installation process was seamless, and the crew from the Irrigation Professionals worked diligently to ensure that every sprinkler head was perfectly positioned and calibrated. They were professional, courteous, and respectful of my property throughout the entire project. I was particularly impressed with their efficiency, as they completed the installation on time without sacrificing quality. Since the installation, I have witnessed a profound improvement in the health and appearance of my lawn and garden.

FAQs for central a/c installation projects in Potomac, MD

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.
