AC Installation Process

Here's How Your Installation Works

First, a technician visits your home to assess your current setup and cooling needs. They measure your space, check your electrical system, and evaluate your existing ductwork. You get a clear explanation of what equipment will work best for your specific situation.

On installation day, our crew arrives with all necessary equipment and materials. We remove your old system if needed, install the new unit according to manufacturer specifications, and test everything thoroughly. All work meets local building codes and manufacturer requirements.

Before leaving, we walk you through your new system’s operation and answer any questions. You receive warranty information and know exactly how to reach us if you need service. The goal is simple: you should feel completely confident about your new AC system from day one.

Most AC installations take 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement where existing ductwork is in good condition. If you’re adding central air to a home that previously used window units, expect a full day or potentially two days depending on the complexity of running new ductwork. The timeline also depends on whether electrical upgrades are needed – older Norwell homes sometimes require panel upgrades to handle modern AC systems. Our technician will give you a realistic timeframe during the initial assessment so you can plan accordingly.
AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, window placement, and how many people live there. Many Norwell homes built in the 1980s and 1990s need 2.5 to 4-ton units, but that’s just a starting point. A proper load calculation considers factors like which direction your home faces, how much shade you have, and whether your ductwork is properly sealed. Oversized units cycle on and off too frequently, which wastes energy and doesn’t remove humidity effectively. Undersized units run constantly and never quite keep up with demand.
Yes, but it requires installing a complete ductwork system since baseboard heating doesn’t use ducts. This is more involved than a simple AC replacement, but it’s definitely doable. The process involves designing a duct layout that works with your home’s structure, then installing supply and return ducts throughout the house. In some cases, ductless mini-split systems might be a better option – they don’t require ductwork and can provide efficient cooling with less disruption to your home. We’ll evaluate both options and explain the pros and cons of each approach.
It depends on your current electrical setup and the AC system you’re installing. Modern central air systems typically require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and if your panel is already near capacity, an upgrade might be necessary. Many older Norwell homes have 100-amp or 150-amp panels that may need upgrading to 200 amps to safely handle AC along with other electrical demands. The good news is that electrical upgrades often qualify for utility rebates, and they increase your home’s value. We’ll assess your electrical system during the initial visit and let you know if upgrades are needed.
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures how efficiently your AC uses electricity. Higher SEER ratings mean lower operating costs. In Massachusetts, the minimum SEER rating is 14, but units with SEER 16-20 are common and can significantly reduce your summer electric bills. For example, upgrading from a 10 SEER unit to a 16 SEER unit could cut your cooling costs by 37%. However, higher SEER units cost more upfront, so there’s a balance between initial investment and long-term savings. We can calculate potential energy savings based on your home’s specific needs and local utility rates.
Annual maintenance is essential for keeping your AC running efficiently and maintaining warranty coverage. Most manufacturers require annual professional service to keep warranties valid. During a maintenance visit, our technician cleans coils, checks refrigerant levels, tests electrical connections, and replaces filters. This prevents small problems from becoming expensive repairs and keeps your system running at peak efficiency. Many homeowners schedule maintenance in late spring before the heavy cooling season begins. Our Comfort Club membership includes annual maintenance plus priority scheduling if you ever need repairs.
