Our Staten Island, NY Air Conditioning Installations
We install air conditioning systems from some of the top brands in the industry, and our installations and replacement systems are always tailored to the needs of our clients. We won’t try to sell you a high–cost system just to make a buck. We’ll make sure that you get the right system for your needs, whether you’re budgeting or looking for long–term efficiency, and we will give you the final say.
- Central Air Conditioners – We install Trane, Lennox, and Carrier systems in all different efficiency ratings. Traditional split air conditioners have long been the standard in whole–home AC technology, but it’s not the only option.
- Heat Pumps – Heat pumps offer heating and cooling from a single system. They can become less efficient as the weather gets cold, and you may require a backup heater; however, heat pumps remain highly efficient for most of the year.
- Ductless Systems – Ductless heating and air conditioning involve wall–mounted blower units connected to an outside unit, providing the power of a central air conditioner—but without the need for major renovations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should My Air Conditioner Be Serviced or Tuned Up?
Your air conditioning unit should be professionally serviced and tuned up at least once every year, typically in the early spring before the summer heat arrives. This annual preventive maintenance ensures your system is operating at peak efficiency, minimizing cooling costs. Regular service is crucial because it enables technicians to identify and address minor issues, such as low refrigerant levels or dirty coils, before they escalate into major breakdowns. Skipping this yearly appointment can lead to costly emergency repairs, reduced energy efficiency, and may also void the manufacturer's warranty. For heat pumps, which provide both cooling and heating, a twice-yearly inspection—once in the spring and once in the fall—is recommended.
What Are the Signs That My AC Unit Needs Professional Repair?
Several noticeable signs indicate your AC unit is struggling and requires professional attention. You should call for repair if the unit is blowing warm or lukewarm air instead of cold, or if the airflow from your vents is noticeably weak. Unusual noises, such as grinding, rattling, hissing, or loud squealing, from the indoor or outdoor unit often signal a failing mechanical component. Other red flags include excessive moisture or pooling water around the unit, a sudden increase in indoor humidity, or an unexpected spike in your monthly electricity bill.
How Do I Know if I Should Repair My Old AC Unit or Replace It with a New One?
A good rule of thumb is the "$5,000 Rule": multiply the age of your unit by the cost of the repair. If the result is over $5,000, replacement is likely the more financially sound decision. If your AC is over ten to twelve years old, frequently breaks down, or uses the now-phased-out R-22 refrigerant, replacement is strongly recommended for efficiency and future repair availability. A new unit will offer significantly higher Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings, leading to substantial long-term savings on your energy bills. An HVAC professional can conduct a comprehensive evaluation to provide a customized cost-benefit analysis tailored to your specific system. We also offer flexible financing solutions to ensure that you get the right AC unit for your home.
How Long Does a Typical Air Conditioning Installation Take?
A standard replacement of a central air conditioning system, where existing ductwork is in good condition, typically takes our certified technicians between four and eight hours. The process involves removing the old condenser and coil, setting the new unit, connecting the refrigerant lines, and performing electrical work. If the installation requires adding or replacing ductwork, or if it involves a system conversion (such as adding a heat pump or mini-splits), the job may take one to two full days. Ductless mini-split installation time varies based on the number of indoor units, but it is generally quicker than installing new central ductwork.
Do I Really Need a Professional to Repair or Replace My AC?
Yes, it is absolutely necessary to use a licensed and certified HVAC professional for AC repair or replacement. Air conditioning units involve high-voltage electricity and pressurized, regulated refrigerants that are extremely dangerous to handle without proper training. Attempting a DIY repair can lead to severe personal injury, costly damage to the unit, and even void the manufacturer's warranty. HVAC technicians possess the specialized tools, EPA certification, and expertise necessary to safely diagnose complex systems and ensure that replacements or repairs are performed efficiently and in accordance with all local codes.
