"Robert was courteous, professional and friendly. We hired him to replace our thermostat. And he went above and beyond! He touched up the paint and sanded the wall by the thermostat. Changed our air filter and cleaned the cover. He was very clean and cleaned up beautifully after the job. We will recommend him to our friends and definitely use him again."

Barron’s Mechanical Solutions is a Phoenix based HVAC Company. We specializes in new construction, install, service, maintenance and reducts. Barron’s believes in making things right from the very first time; we are fast and reliable.

"Very impressive response time and reasonable prices. I manage a 300+ unit property in Tempe, and we have had Barron out for multiple units having air conditioning issues this summer. It is been very difficult finding a trustworthy a/c company that will show up and actually fix the problem instead of a sales pitch trying to sell a new unit. The crew seems very honest, and my Residents are very thankful, and happy."

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.
