Facing an AC Not Cooling Your House and Not Sure Who to Call?

You've already tried the thermostat. Twice.

Your old unit runs all day and the house still feels sticky. The bedroom stays hot. The living room stays cold. Sound familiar?

An ac unit too small for house size will never win that fight. Neither will a system nursed past its last good summer.

Most people wait too long. They call three ac installation companies and get three different answers. Then nobody explains the numbers.

Here's the thing. A stitch in time saves nine. Replacing a dying unit in spring costs less than an emergency swap in August.

Not sure whether to fix it or replace it? We'll tell you straight. Sometimes the honest answer is repair. We still say it.

What Affects Your AC Installation Price

  • Size and capacity Bigger btu cooling capacity means more equipment and more labor.
  • Efficiency choice A high seer2 rating costs more upfront and less monthly.
  • Ductwork condition Leaky ducts need repair before new equipment goes in.
  • Electrical panel Older panels sometimes need an upgrade to carry the load.
  • Access Attics, tight crawlspaces and steep roofs take longer.
  • Compressor type A variable speed compressor beats single stage vs two stage ac options.
  • Refrigerant New systems use r 454b refrigerant, which changes line set work.
  • Rebates Energy efficient ac rebates pull the final number down. We offer hvac financing with bad credit options.
The process 03 steps / nothing starts without your yes

How It Works: AC Installation in 3 Simple Steps

Measure twice, cut once. That old rule runs our whole ac installation process.

  1. 01

    Free in home visit

    A technician measures your home and runs the manual j load calculation. We check ducts, panel and airflow. You get a written ac installation estimate the same day.

    You get a real number, not a sales pitch
  2. 02

    We show two or three options side by side. Good, better, best. We explain what each one saves you. Then you choose. Nobody pressures you.

    You get options, and time to think

Systems 06 system types installed

What types of AC systems do we install?

Different homes, different tools. The right tool for the right job.

Central air conditioner, ductless mini split and heat pump compared side by side
01

Central air conditioner installation

Ducted cooling for the whole house. Best when your ducts are sound. Quiet, even and out of sight.

Central ac installation
02

Ductless mini split installation

No ducts needed. Great for additions and garages. Multi zone mini split installation covers several rooms.

Mini split ac installation
03

Heat pump air conditioner installation

Cools in summer, heats in winter. One system, two jobs. Rebates are usually strongest here.

Heat pump vs air conditioner
04

Package unit ac installation

Everything in one cabinet. Common on flat roofs and slab homes. Includes rooftop air conditioner installation.

Rooftop systems
05

Window and wall units

Simple and cheap. We handle through the wall ac installation and window unit installation, properly sealed.

Window ac installation
06

Inverter ac installation

Variable speed comfort. It sips power instead of gulping it. Best pick for long cooling seasons.

High efficiency ac installation

We also handle split system air conditioner installation and whole house air conditioner installation jobs. Same crew. Same standards.

Some homes need central cooling installation from scratch. Others just need a smarter box outside. We say which.

Still weighing central air vs mini split or window unit vs central air? We'll price both. Two heads beat one. Ask about mini split vs central air cost and we'll show the math.

Sizing Measured, never guessed

What size AC unit do I need?

Bigger is not better. An oversized unit is a sprinter that never finishes the race.

Oversized systems short cycle. They cool fast, shut off, and leave the air damp. So what size ac unit do i need is the biggest question here.

Up to 1,000 sq ft1.5–2tons
1,000–1,500 sq ft2–2.5tons
1,500–2,000 sq ft2.5–3.5tons
2,000–2,500 sq ft3.5–4tons
2,500–3,500 sq ft4–5tons

Those are starting points only. What size ac for 2000 sq ft house depends on windows and insulation. Ceiling height and shade matter too. That's why we measure. Every time.

The difference Us / the typical installer

What You Get: The All USA HVAC Difference

Actions speak louder than words. So here's what we actually do.

We size it properly. Every new ac installation starts with a full load calculation. Two extra hours now saves fifteen years of short cycling.

We employ our techs. No subcontractors at your door. Our ac installation technician teams are background checked and salaried.

We earn nothing on brands. Zero commission on equipment. So carrier vs trane ac and goodman vs lennox air conditioner advice stays honest.
