Our installation process starts with a home evaluation. We measure your rooms, check your existing ductwork, and identify any obstacles that might affect the new system. This helps us recommend the right AC size and type for your specific home.
Once you approve the system recommendation, we schedule your installation. Our technicians remove your old outdoor unit and indoor components, then install the new equipment according to manufacturer specifications. We replace refrigerant line sets, install new thermostat wiring, and connect everything to your home’s electrical system.
After installation, we pressure-test the system, check refrigerant levels, and verify airflow across every room. We walk you through how your new system operates and answer any questions before we finish the job. If you are considering different cooling solutions, we also offer ductless AC installation for homes without existing ductwork.
How long does a new AC system last?
Most central AC systems last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Systems in Western Pennsylvania with heavy summer use may wear faster, while well-maintained units sometimes exceed 20 years. Efficiency gradually declines as the system ages, so even a 12-year-old system may justify replacement if cooling costs are rising.
How long does AC installation take?
A standard central AC installation typically takes one to two days. The first day covers removal of the old unit and installation of new components. The second day handles electrical connections, refrigerant charging, and system testing. If your project involves ductwork modifications, plan for additional time.
What time of year is best for AC installation?
Spring is the most popular time for new AC installations. Scheduling in April or May gives you plenty of time before summer heat arrives. You also have more contractor availability compared to the rushed summer months. Off-season installation often means faster scheduling, though we install systems year-round for customers who need immediate replacement.
What should I look for in an HVAC contractor?
Verify that your contractor holds proper licensing and carries insurance. Ask about manufacturer certifications for the brands they install. Experience matters, so find out how long they have been serving your area. Hoffner Heating & Air Conditioning is fully licensed and insured with over 30 years serving Western Pennsylvania including Monroeville, Murrysville, and surrounding areas.
What is included in an AC installation quote?
Your quote should include the new outdoor condenser, indoor evaporator coil, thermostat, refrigerant line sets, and labor. Ask whether permit fees, electrical upgrades, and ductwork modifications are included or priced separately. A detailed quote helps you compare bids fairly and avoid surprises on installation day.
