What Proper Installation Actually Gets You

When your AC is installed right the first time, you get consistent temperatures in every room. No more hot spots upstairs or freezing cold spots downstairs.

You’ll see the difference on your energy bills too. Properly sized and installed systems don’t work overtime trying to cool your home. They run efficiently, cycle properly, and last longer.

Most importantly, you get peace of mind. No wondering if it’ll break down during the next heat wave. No surprise repair bills because corners were cut during installation. Just reliable cooling when you need it most.

AC Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Installation

First, we assess your home’s cooling needs. This means measuring spaces, checking insulation, and calculating the right system size. Getting this wrong means you’ll either have an oversized unit that cycles on and off constantly or an undersized one that never quite cools your home.

Next, we prepare the installation area and remove your old system if you’re replacing one. We handle all the electrical connections, refrigerant lines, and ductwork modifications needed for your new system.

Finally, we test everything thoroughly before we leave. We check airflow, test all controls, and make sure you understand how to operate your new system. You’ll know exactly what to expect from day one.

What's Included in Every Installation

Every air conditioning installation includes proper load calculations to determine the right system size for your home. We don’t guess or use rules of thumb that leave you with an inefficient system.

You get professional electrical connections that meet Massachusetts code requirements. All refrigerant lines are properly insulated and tested for leaks. We modify or upgrade ductwork as needed to ensure proper airflow throughout your home.

We also provide complete system commissioning, which means testing every component to manufacturer specifications. This protects your warranty and ensures optimal performance from day one. Our Dempsey Comfort Club members get priority scheduling and ongoing maintenance to keep their systems running efficiently year after year.

Most residential AC installations take between 6-12 hours, depending on your home’s setup and whether we’re replacing an existing system or installing central air for the first time. If you’re upgrading from window units to central air, we might need an additional day for ductwork installation. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment so you can plan accordingly. Weather delays can occasionally extend the timeline, but we’ll keep you informed if that happens.
The right size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, and ceiling height. We perform detailed load calculations rather than using rough estimates. An oversized unit will cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. An undersized unit will run constantly and never quite reach your desired temperature. Our assessment includes measuring your space and evaluating factors like sun exposure and insulation to determine the optimal system size for efficient operation.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for AC installation in Rockland and throughout Bristol County. Most installations require electrical permits, and some may need mechanical permits depending on the scope of work. We’re familiar with local code requirements and inspection processes, so you don’t have to worry about compliance issues. The permit costs are typically included in our installation quote, and we coordinate with local inspectors to ensure everything meets Massachusetts building codes.
Absolutely. We install ductwork for homes that currently rely on window units, baseboard heating, or other systems without central air distribution. This involves running supply and return ducts through your basement, crawl space, or attic to reach all the rooms you want cooled. We can also install ductless mini-split systems if ductwork installation isn’t practical for your home’s layout. During our assessment, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective approach for your specific situation.
We handle complete removal and proper disposal of your old air conditioning system. This includes safely recovering refrigerant according to EPA regulations and recycling metal components when possible. Old units can’t just go in regular trash due to refrigerant and other materials that require special handling. Removal and disposal are included in our installation service, so you don’t need to arrange separate pickup or worry about environmental compliance issues.
During peak summer season, installation scheduling typically runs 3-7 days out for standard installations, though emergency replacements can often be accommodated sooner. Our Dempsey Comfort Club members get priority scheduling, which can reduce wait times significantly. We recommend scheduling installations in spring or early summer when possible to avoid peak demand periods. If your current system fails during a heat wave, we’ll do everything possible to get you back up and running quickly, even if it means working extended hours.
