Everything Included in Your Installation

Your AC installation includes proper system sizing calculations, not just swapping old for new. We evaluate your home’s cooling load and recommend equipment that matches your actual needs, not what happens to be on the truck.

All electrical connections are upgraded to current code. Many older homes need electrical work to handle modern AC systems safely. We coordinate with licensed electricians when needed and make sure everything passes inspection.

Ductwork assessment comes standard. Leaky ducts waste energy and reduce comfort. We identify problems and recommend solutions that actually improve your system’s performance. The goal is getting cool air where you need it, not pumping it into your basement or attic.

How long does AC installation take in South Duxbury homes?

Most residential air conditioning installations take one to two days, depending on your home’s setup and the complexity of the job. Straightforward replacements where the new system connects to existing ductwork and electrical typically finish in one day. Homes needing electrical upgrades, ductwork modifications, or installations in challenging locations may require two days. We provide a realistic timeline during the initial assessment so you can plan accordingly. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards—rushing an AC installation leads to problems down the road.

What size air conditioner do I need for my home?

AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, ceiling height, and local climate factors. A proper load calculation considers all these variables to determine the right capacity measured in tons or BTUs. Oversized systems cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity properly. Undersized systems run constantly and struggle to keep up on hot days. We perform detailed load calculations rather than using outdated rules of thumb. This ensures your new system provides consistent comfort while operating efficiently.

Do you handle permits for AC installation in Bristol County?

Yes, Dempsey Energy handles all necessary permits for air conditioning installation in South Duxbury and throughout Bristol County. We’re familiar with local building codes and inspection requirements, which vary by municipality. The permit process includes submitting installation plans, scheduling inspections, and ensuring all work meets current electrical and mechanical codes. This saves you time and ensures compliance with local regulations. Proper permitting also protects your home’s value and insurance coverage. Some homeowners try to skip permits to save money, but this creates problems when selling or filing insurance claims.

Can you install AC in older homes without existing ductwork?

Absolutely. Older South Duxbury homes often lack central air conditioning, but several options work well for adding cooling. Ductless mini-split systems are popular because they don’t require extensive ductwork modifications. These systems use small indoor units connected to an outdoor compressor, with only a small hole needed for refrigerant lines. For homes where central air makes sense, we can design and install new ductwork. High-velocity systems work well in historic homes where space is limited. The best solution depends on your home’s layout, your cooling priorities, and your budget.

What maintenance does my new AC system need?

New air conditioning systems need regular filter changes, annual professional maintenance, and basic upkeep to maintain efficiency and warranty coverage. Change filters every 1-3 months depending on usage and filter type. Annual maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, and inspecting all system components. The Dempsey Comfort Club provides scheduled maintenance services to keep your system running properly. Regular maintenance prevents small problems from becoming expensive repairs and ensures your system operates at peak efficiency. Most manufacturers require annual professional maintenance to maintain warranty coverage.

How do I know if I need AC replacement or repair?

Consider replacement if your system is over 10-15 years old and requiring frequent repairs, especially if repair costs exceed half the replacement cost. Rising energy bills, inconsistent cooling, and difficulty finding replacement parts also indicate it’s time for new equipment. Systems using R-22 refrigerant face expensive repairs as this refrigerant is being phased out. However, newer systems with minor issues often benefit from professional repair. We provide honest assessments about whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense. We consider your system’s age, condition, efficiency, and repair history to give you realistic options.
