Frequently Asked Questions About AC Installation

How much does a new AC system cost in San Antonio?

How long does AC installation take?

Most residential AC installations are completed in one day (6-8 hours). Complex installations or ductwork modifications may take 1-2 days. We'll give you an accurate timeline during your free consultation.

What size AC unit do I need for my home?

AC sizing depends on square footage, insulation, window exposure, and ceiling height. A 2-ton unit typically covers 1,000-1,200 sq ft, 3-ton covers 1,500-1,800 sq ft, and 4-ton covers 2,000-2,400 sq ft. We perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact size needed.

Do you offer financing for new AC systems?

Yes! We offer flexible financing options to make a new AC system affordable. Ask about our payment plans during your free consultation. We also offer Comfort Club membership for ongoing maintenance savings.

What's the difference between Good, Better, and Best tiers?

Good (14 SEER) is reliable and efficient for budget-conscious homeowners. Better (16 SEER) adds variable-speed technology for improved comfort and lower bills. Best (18+ SEER) is our premium option with maximum efficiency, whisper-quiet operation, and the longest warranty.

How do I know if I need a new AC or just a repair?

Consider replacement if your system is 15+ years old, needs frequent repairs, R-22 refrigerant (phased out), or your energy bills keep rising. We'll give you an honest assessment — we never push replacements just to make a sale.
