Choosing the Right Air Conditioner for Your Home

We install a variety of high-quality air conditioning systems to meet diverse needs:

•  Central Air Conditioners: Ideal for homes with existing ductwork, providing whole-house cooling.
•  Ductless Mini-Splits: Perfect for homes without ductwork, additions, or for zoned cooling/heating solutions.

We'll help you consider factors like your home's size and layout, your desired energy efficiency (SEER rating), your budget, and the condition of any existing ductwork to find the perfect match.

Understanding AC Installation Costs in the West Covina Area

The cost of a new AC installation depends on several factors:

•  Unit Type & Brand: Central AC vs. ductless, standard vs. premium brands.
•  Size (Tonnage): Larger homes require larger, more powerful units.
•  Efficiency (SEER Rating): Higher SEER ratings mean greater energy efficiency but often a higher initial cost (leading to long-term savings).
•  Ductwork: Costs vary depending on whether existing ducts can be used, need repairs, or if new ductwork is required.
•  Installation Complexity: Factors like unit location, accessibility, and necessary electrical upgrades can influence labor time.
•  Permits: Required local permits add to the overall cost.
