AC Installs & Upgrades
AC Installation & Replacement in Houston
When to Consider Replacement
Your system is 12–15+ years old and needing frequent repairs
Energy bills are climbing despite regular maintenance
Your home has uneven temperatures or humidity problems
Repair costs are approaching 50% of a new system's price
Your current system uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out)
High humidity no matter how hard you run your system
The cooling season in Houston lasts between eight and ten months each year. Because of this long period of operation, the equipment experiences more wear than that found in areas with milder climates. As a result, the machinery ages more quickly and has to work harder.
Older homes in Katy, Memorial and The Woodlands often have original AC units nearing the end of their lifespan. If your system shows multiple warning signs, a professional evaluation can help determine whether repair or replacement makes better financial sense.
Our Installation Process
Understanding the installation process helps you prepare and know what to expect. Professional AC installation involves multiple steps to ensure your new system operates safely and efficiently.
Initial Assessment
Our technician or system deisgner evaluates your home's cooling requirements. This includes measuring square footage, inspecting ductwork, and calculating the cooling load. We review your current system's performance and discuss any comfort issues you want to address.
System Selection
Based on the assessment, we recommend equipment matched to your home's needs. You'll receive options at different efficiency levels so you can choose what fits your budget and goals.
Installation Day
The process includes:
Remove old indoor and outdoor equipment
Position new units in approved locations
Connect refrigerant lines between components
Complete electrical connections and wiring
Inspect and modify ductwork if needed
Charge system with proper refrigerant levels
Program thermostat and test all functions
Inspections and Timeline
Our team handles all permit applications and coordinates final inspections when neccesary. Most residential installations complete in one day. Complex systems or ductwork modifications may extend the timeline.

What's Included in Every Install
Every install starts with sizing the system to your house, not just matching the tonnage of whatever was there before. On install day, the crew covers your floors, pulls the old equipment and hauls it off. Once the new system is in, we start it up and test it the way we would on any service call. That means checking the refrigerant charge, airflow, drain line and electrical connections before we call it done. Your installer walks you through the new system and answers your questions, and we register the manufacturer warranty so it's on file in your name. If the job needs an inspection, we schedule it and meet the inspector, so you don't have to take off work. Most homes are done the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does AC installation take in Houston?
Most AC installations complete in 4–8 hours. Complex systems, ductwork modifications, or electrical upgrades may extend the timeline to two days. Your technician will provide a time estimate during the initial assessment.
What size AC unit do I need for a 2,000 square foot home?
Homes of this size generally need a cooling capacity of between 3.5 and 4 tons. However, the precise amount required will vary according to the insulation, the number of windows, the ceiling height, and the plan of the house. A professional inspection is necessary to obtain an accurate size for your particular home.
What is the average lifespan of an AC unit in Houston?
With proper maintenance, central air conditioning systems generally last between 10 and 15 years; the longer cooling season in Houston places greater demand on the equipment than in milder climates. Having your system regularly maintained will help to maximize its lifespan.
Should I replace my AC if it uses R-22 refrigerant?
It is advised to replace R-22 systems since production of the refrigerant stopped in 2020, making it ever more rare. As the supply decreases, the cost of repairs will keep on going up. Nowadays, R-410A is used and remains easily available.
