"Use Caution: The only thing the technician they sent was qualified to do is sell you a product or service. He first tried to sell me a new &12k unit plus $4k duct cleaning. When I declined, next was a $6k evaporator coil replacement and the $4k duct cleaning. When I refused, he next peddled $2k evaporator coil cleaning and $4k duct cleaning. He continued trying to sell me a lower priced solution to the problems he found with the HVAC system. His last attempt was to sell me an annual service contract for $240 and he was successful. However, the lies he told to accomplish this were extremely deceitful. He produced pictures showing the system low on freon (4lbs) and his leak detector reading 99% leak detected. He would be graciosos and put 2lbs of freon in the system if I purchased the maintenance contract. He stated that my system would only work for a week before the freon leaked back out. (1 Week Later) Concerned called a different HVAC company to service my system (Tropic Aire). The technician checked the system from the compressor to the atic. The only thing he suggested was to have the outside compressor enclosue debris cleaned out. No leaks, freon at 100%, and no problems with the ductwork. Do not believe their people, they will miss lead you and destroy your HVAC system."

"This company is something else. Had 2 new units put in July of 2021?3.5 years later? coil leak. Here?s the kicker- they NEVER closed out the permit and will not preform warranty work. They are blaming me for the permit. I have never seen a company that does not handle their own permitting. They want over $3k to replace the coil just for labor. They also say there was a labor warranty extension that was never offered to me. Aside from all of that, they are rude and condescending. I even went into the office to discuss and the GM would not speak to me because he was walking out the door at 4:33pm. I have no A/C and they do not care. Beware!!! Things have changed there."

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.
