"?? PUT MY HOUSE IN DANGER OF BURNING DOWN. BEWARE. ?? The electrical wiring components that go from the HVAC unit directly to the house were installed completely negligently and a FIRE HAZARD THAT PUT MY FAMILY'S LIFE AT RISK. They even used bubble wrap to "waterproof" an open hole on the box. Another HVAC company who did the repair was shocked at the negligence. They luckily found the issue because it literally sparked at them, which again, could have BURNED DOWN MY HOUSE. We have been dealing with them for several years about many issues they fail to address. Completely incompetent and negligent. Penguin will lie and gaslight about this. However, I have photos and invoices detailing all of it for anyone to see. ?"

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.
