New System Installation
Installation includes removing the old equipment, setting the new outdoor condenser and indoor coil, connecting refrigerant lines, and testing the complete system under load. Most residential installations are completed in a single day.
Knowing When to Replace
Age, the cost of the current repair relative to a new unit, and how often the system has needed service all factor into the decision. If your system has a specific problem rather than showing its age generally, our AC repair team can take a look first.
Ductwork Inspection
A brand-new, correctly sized system connected to leaky or undersized ducts still won’t cool evenly. We inspect your existing ductwork during installation and address issues as part of the job.
Customer Satisfaction
Every installation comes with our Total Comfort Promise: comfort delivered, satisfaction guaranteed. We install most major air conditioning brands, so you’re never limited to one manufacturer.

FAQs
How do I know if I need a new system instead of another repair?
It comes down to the system’s age, the cost of the current repair, and how many times it’s already broken down. If those numbers point toward replacement, we’ll walk you through the reasoning rather than just handing you a quote.
What size air conditioner does my home need?
It depends on square footage, insulation, window placement, ductwork, and elevation, not just the size of the room you’re cooling. We calculate this for your specific home rather than estimating from a general rule of thumb.
How long does a central air conditioning installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in a single day. Homes needing ductwork repairs or modifications as part of the job can take longer, and we’ll tell you that upfront.
Will a new system fix rooms in my house that never cool evenly?
Sometimes, if the cause is an undersized old system. If the real issue is ductwork or airflow balance, we’ll address that during installation rather than installing a new unit onto the same problem.
Does Mountain Air install every brand of air conditioner?
We install most major air conditioning brands, so you have real options rather than being steered toward one manufacturer.
