What Our AC Installation Service Includes: Features and Benefits

When you invest in a new air conditioning system, you are purchasing more than just a metal box; you are investing in the quality of the installation, which dictates 70% of the system’s efficiency and lifespan. Our service is comprehensive, covering every technical aspect required to ensure your new unit performs at its peak rating. We move beyond simple "box-swapping" to ensure the entire cooling infrastructure of your home is optimized.

Professional Load Calculation and Sizing

The most critical step in AC installation is ensuring the unit is the correct size for your specific home. An oversized unit will short-cycle, turning on and off too frequently, which prevents it from removing humidity—a major issue during Corydon summers. An undersized unit will run continuously without ever reaching the set temperature. We perform a detailed load calculation (Manual J) that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, and local climate data to prescribe the exact tonnage required.

Complete System Integration

Installing a new condenser outside is only half the job. We ensure the new equipment communicates perfectly with your existing furnace or air handler and thermostat. If your ductwork is incompatible with the airflow requirements of high-efficiency systems, we identify these issues immediately. This includes inspecting the plenum, checking for air leaks, and ensuring the blower motor capabilities match the new AC unit’s specifications.

Safety and Environmental Compliance

Removing your old system involves handling high-voltage electricity and regulated refrigerants. We adhere to strict EPA guidelines for refrigerant recovery, ensuring no harmful chemicals are vented into the atmosphere. Our team manages all electrical connections, installing new disconnect boxes and whips where necessary to meet current safety codes. We also ensure proper condensate drainage piping is installed to prevent water damage to your property.

High-Efficiency Equipment Options

We provide access to the latest cooling technology, ranging from standard single-stage units to advanced variable-speed systems. Variable-speed compressors operate like a dimmer switch, adjusting their output in small increments to maintain precise temperatures and maximize dehumidification. This technology is particularly beneficial in our region, where humidity control is just as important as temperature reduction.

Your AC Installation Journey: Step-by-Step

Understanding the timeline and process of an installation helps you prepare for the service. We have refined our workflow to be efficient, respectful of your property, and thorough. We prioritize minimizing disruption to your daily routine while ensuring no step is skipped during the technical implementation.

• Site Preparation and Protection: Upon arrival, our technicians survey the installation area. We lay down drop cloths and wear shoe covers to protect your flooring and keep your home clean. We verify the placement of the outdoor unit to ensure it complies with local setback requirements and has adequate clearance for airflow.‍
• Decommissioning the Old System: We disconnect the electrical supply and carefully recover the old refrigerant into approved recovery cylinders. The old condenser and evaporator coil are disconnected and removed from the property. We handle the disposal and recycling of the old equipment so you do not have to worry about landfill logistics.‍
• Equipment Placement and Connection: The new condenser is leveled on a composite pad to prevent shifting or vibration. We install the new evaporator coil into the plenum. Then, we connect the line set (copper refrigerant lines). If the existing lines are reusable, they are flushed to remove contaminants; if not, new lines are run.‍
• Brazing and Sealed System Work: We use nitrogen during the brazing process to prevent oxidation inside the copper lines. This is a critical quality control step that prevents future blockages in the expansion valve or compressor. Once brazed, the system is pressure-tested with nitrogen to guarantee there are no leaks.‍
• Evacuation and Charging: We use a vacuum pump to remove all moisture and air from the system, pulling it down to below 500 microns. This ensures the refrigerant remains pure. We then release the factory charge and fine-tune the refrigerant levels based on subcooling and superheat calculations specific to the day's weather conditions.‍
• Commissioning and Walkthrough: The system is powered on and tested through a full cycle. We verify airflow, temperature split (the difference between air entering and leaving the system), and thermostat operation. Finally, we walk you through the new system, showing you how to operate the thermostat and how to change the filter.

Deciding Between AC Repair and Replacement: What You Need to Know

Homeowners often struggle with the decision to repair a faltering unit or invest in a replacement. While repairs can be cheaper in the short term, they are often a poor financial decision for aging systems. Making the right choice depends on analyzing the age of the system, the cost of repairs, and the potential energy savings.

• The 50% Rule: A general industry standard is the 50% rule: if the cost of the repair is 50% or more of the cost of a new system, replacement is the smarter financial move. As systems age, the likelihood of a secondary component failure increases. Spending money to fix a compressor today does not guarantee the fan motor won't fail next month.‍
• Age and Refrigerant Type: If your air conditioner is over 10 to 12 years old, it is approaching the end of its useful life. Many older systems utilize R-22 refrigerant, which has been phased out and is prohibitively expensive to replace. Upgrading to a modern system utilizing R-410A or newer low-GWP refrigerants ensures you are not tethered to obsolete and costly materials.‍
• Rising Energy Bills: As AC units wear out, they lose efficiency. Dirt accumulates on coils, motors experience more friction, and compressors work harder to achieve the same cooling. If you have noticed a steady increase in your summer electric bills despite normal usage, your system is likely drawing excessive amperage. A new high-SEER system can cut cooling costs by 20% to 40% immediately.‍
• Frequent Breakdowns: Reliability is a key factor in your decision. If you find yourself calling for service every summer or multiple times a season, the cumulative cost of service calls and parts often exceeds the monthly payment of a financed new system. Replacement eliminates the stress of unexpected breakdowns during a heatwave.‍
• Uneven Cooling and Comfort Issues: Old systems often struggle to push air to the second floor or the far ends of the house. This is often due to a failing blower or compressor loss of compression. If your home has hot spots or you feel clammy due to high humidity, a new unit with better air management capabilities is the only way to solve the root cause.

Understanding the Local Climate: Best Practices for AC Installation

Operating an air conditioner in Corydon requires specific considerations due to our humid continental climate. The summers here frequently see temperatures reaching into the 90s, paired with dew points that make the air feel heavy and oppressive. This environment places a heavy load on cooling equipment, meaning standard "out of the box" settings are rarely sufficient for maximum comfort.

Humidity Control is Priority

In our region, an air conditioner must act as a dehumidifier just as much as a cooler. If a system is oversized, it will cool the air too quickly and shut off before it has removed the moisture. This leads to a cold, damp home and promotes mold growth in ductwork. We prioritize systems and installation practices that extend the run cycle at lower speeds to wring moisture out of the air effectively.

Permits and Local Codes

HVAC installations are significant construction projects that impact the safety and structural integrity of your home. Compliance with local building codes in Indiana is mandatory. This includes proper electrical circuit sizing, disconnect placement, and clearance distances from property lines. Professional installation ensures that all work meets these municipal requirements, which is vital for your safety and necessary if you ever plan to sell your home. Unpermitted work can lead to fines or complications during real estate transactions.

Seasonal Timing

The best time to install a new AC is before the peak heat hits — schedule service today. Once high summer temperatures arrive, emergency calls increase, and schedules tighten. Planning your installation during the shoulder season allows for more flexibility in scheduling and ensures your home is prepared before the first heatwave. However, if your system fails mid-summer, we are equipped to handle urgent replacements to restore safety and comfort to your home.

Electrical Grid Considerations

Older homes in the area may have outdated electrical panels. Modern AC units are more efficient, but they still require stable voltage. During installation, we assess your electrical capacity to ensure it can handle the startup amp draw of the new compressor without dimming lights or tripping breakers. If upgrades to the circuit are needed, we identify them immediately.
