So, why choose K-Wood, LLC, for your HVAC needs? The reason is we are fanatics about doing the job right. Not only do we choose the best equipment, we choose the best equipment for the job. We will also size the unit to your house. We take into account insulation, windows, and even the positioning of your house relative to the sun. We do this because a poorly sized unit is not good for anyone. If it is an air conditioner and it is too small, it will be running too much. This will increase your power bill and decrease the unit's life. If it is too large, the unit will short cycle (or turn on and off too quickly), which will also decrease the units life span. In the summer this short cycling won't allow for the humidity to be removed properly. The best equipment costs more up front, and a proper installation is not cheap either, but when you pay for both of these up front, you will have fewer problems and save a significant amount of money compared to the cheaper guy.

"This is a great company, Very honest and easy to communicate with, The technician arrived on time and took care of the probably with ease."

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.
