Professional AC Installation in Ellerslie, GA

Your AC system has reached the end of its service life in Ellerslie. Or it failed and repair costs relative to its age make replacement the better decision in Ellerslie, GA. Or you are adding central cooling to a home that has not had it and you are ready to stop managing summer heat with window units in Ellerslie. Whatever the specific situation, you are making a significant investment in home comfort and energy efficiency that will affect your home for the next 15 to 20 years in Ellerslie, GA. And the two decisions that will determine whether that investment performs as you expect are the sizing decision and the installation quality in Ellerslie. Both matter more than the brand of equipment on the equipment pad in Ellerslie, GA.

A high-efficiency AC system installed with an incorrect refrigerant charge performs at significantly reduced efficiency in Ellerslie, GA. A system installed on a duct system with significant leakage delivers a fraction of its rated cooling capacity to the living spaces in Ellerslie. A system that is physically installed correctly but sized incorrectly for the home's actual cooling load operates in a mode that produces either persistent humidity problems or inadequate cooling capacity regardless of the efficiency rating on the equipment label in Ellerslie, GA. The equipment's rated efficiency is the efficiency it achieves under laboratory conditions. What you actually experience in your home is the efficiency the installation produces in Ellerslie.

Air America installs AC systems throughout Ellerslie, GA in Ellerslie. Correct sizing through load calculation before any equipment is selected in Ellerslie, GA. Correct installation of every system component in Ellerslie. Refrigerant charge verified to manufacturer specification before the system is commissioned in Ellerslie, GA. System performance verified before we leave in Ellerslie. Full permit management. And a guarantee on every installation in Ellerslie, GA. Call now, we respond fast in Ellerslie.

Why Installation Quality Determines System Performance in Ellerslie, GA

A central AC system has a rated SEER efficiency that represents its performance under standardized test conditions in Ellerslie. In a real residential installation, the actual efficiency the system achieves depends on correct refrigerant charge, correct airflow through the indoor coil, the condition of the duct system the system is installed on, and correct sizing for the specific home in Ellerslie, GA. An installation that misses on any of these variables produces a system that underperforms its rating in Ellerslie. An installation that gets all of them right produces the efficiency you are paying for in Ellerslie, GA.

Why Sizing Is the Most Important Decision

Why Correct AC Sizing Is the Most Important Installation Decision in Ellerslie, GA

What an Oversized AC System Does in Ellerslie

An oversized AC system cools the thermostat location to setpoint before the rest of the home has reached the same temperature in Ellerslie, GA. The system shuts off having satisfied the thermostat but having run for too short a cycle to remove adequate humidity from the circulated air in Ellerslie. The result is a home that feels cold and clammy rather than cool and comfortable in Ellerslie, GA. Indoor relative humidity remains elevated despite the air conditioner running in Ellerslie. Mold growth on surfaces throughout the home is more common in homes with oversized AC systems than in correctly sized homes in Ellerslie, GA. And the short cycling produces wear on the compressor at an accelerated rate in Ellerslie.

What an Undersized AC System Does in Ellerslie, GA

An undersized AC system runs continuously in hot weather without reaching the thermostat setpoint in Ellerslie. The home is consistently warmer than the thermostat calls for in Ellerslie, GA. The system runs at maximum capacity for extended periods, accumulating wear faster than a correctly sized system in Ellerslie. Energy bills are high because the system is running more hours per day than a correctly sized system would need to in Ellerslie, GA. And occupant comfort is poor because the home never reaches the set temperature in the hottest weather when cooling is most needed in Ellerslie.

How Air America Sizes Every AC Installation Correctly in Ellerslie, GA

Air America performs a Manual J load calculation for every AC installation in Ellerslie. The calculation accounts for every variable that affects the home's actual cooling load including floor area, ceiling height, insulation R-values in all building assemblies, window area and SHGC, local design temperature, and internal heat gains from occupants and appliances in Ellerslie, GA. The calculation output is the correct system capacity for the specific home in Ellerslie. Not an estimate based on square footage alone. A full load calculation in Ellerslie, GA.

Why Manual J Is the Only Correct Sizing Method in Ellerslie, GA

The rule of thumb sizing method of one ton of cooling per 500 to 600 square feet of floor area produces wildly inaccurate results for homes that deviate from the assumptions embedded in that rule in Ellerslie. A well-insulated home with efficient windows may need significantly less cooling capacity per square foot than the rule assumes in Ellerslie, GA. A home with large south-facing windows, high ceilings, and minimal insulation may need significantly more in Ellerslie. Manual J accounts for all of these variables and produces the correct capacity for the specific home rather than an estimate for an average home of that size in Ellerslie, GA.

Replacing Old vs Installing New

Replacing an Old AC vs Installing New in Ellerslie, GA

Signs Your Existing AC System Should Be Replaced in Ellerslie

An AC system approaching or past its 15-year service life that requires a major repair warrants a replacement comparison in Ellerslie, GA. A system that has required multiple repairs in recent seasons is communicating that its remaining service life is limited in Ellerslie. A system using R-22 refrigerant that has phased out of production faces increasingly expensive refrigerant costs for any refrigerant-related repair in Ellerslie, GA. And a system that is significantly less efficient than current equipment is costing the homeowner measurably more in energy every year it continues to operate in Ellerslie.

The Efficiency and Comfort Gains From a New Correctly Sized System in Ellerslie, GA

A new high-efficiency AC system replacing a 15-year-old standard efficiency system can reduce cooling energy consumption by 30 to 50 percent depending on the efficiency ratings being compared in Ellerslie. A correctly sized replacement system eliminates the short cycling humidity problems that an oversized original installation may have been producing in Ellerslie, GA. And a variable speed replacement system produces a level of indoor comfort and humidity control that single-stage systems cannot match in Ellerslie.

FAQ

AC Installation FAQs in Ellerslie, GA

The correct system size is determined by a Manual J load calculation that accounts for your home's floor area, insulation levels, window area and orientation, local climate data, and home configuration in Ellerslie. Square footage rules of thumb produce inaccurate results for homes that deviate from average construction characteristics in Ellerslie, GA. Air America performs a Manual J calculation for every AC installation in Ellerslie.
Manual J is the industry-standard method for calculating a home's actual heating and cooling load developed by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America in Ellerslie. It accounts for every variable that affects the home's thermal performance including insulation, window performance, orientation, internal heat gains, and local climate data in Ellerslie, GA. It produces the correct system capacity for the specific home rather than a general estimate in Ellerslie.
A standard central split system AC replacement typically takes four to eight hours in Ellerslie. A new installation in a home without existing equipment takes longer because of the additional work involved in installing line sets, electrical supply, and condensate drainage in Ellerslie, GA. Ductless mini-split installations vary based on the number of zones in Ellerslie.
If both systems are near the end of their service lives, replacing both at the same time typically makes sense because it allows the systems to be correctly matched to each other, produces a single installation visit cost, and starts both systems on the same replacement timeline in Ellerslie. Air America provides a clear assessment of both systems' condition to help the homeowner make this decision in Ellerslie, GA.
The correct SEER selection depends on how many hours per year the system will be used, local electricity rates, and the premium cost of higher efficiency equipment relative to the energy savings it produces in Ellerslie. In climates with long cooling seasons and high electricity rates, higher SEER systems produce faster payback in Ellerslie, GA. Air America provides a payback calculation for each efficiency option in Ellerslie.
Yes in most jurisdictions in Ellerslie. HVAC installation is a regulated trade that requires permits and inspection in most areas in Ellerslie, GA. Air America manages the permit application and final inspection for every AC installation in Ellerslie.
A complete Air America AC installation includes load calculation and system sizing, equipment selection and ordering, removal of the existing system where applicable, installation of the new outdoor condenser, indoor coil, refrigerant line set, electrical supply connections, condensate drainage, refrigerant charge verification, system commissioning and performance verification, and permit management in Ellerslie.
A correctly sized and correctly installed residential AC system has a designed service life of 15 to 20 years in most climates in Ellerslie. Systems that are correctly maintained through annual service, regular filter replacement, and prompt attention to developing faults typically reach or exceed the upper end of that range in Ellerslie, GA.
In many cases yes, but the existing ductwork should be assessed for leakage, correct sizing for the new system's airflow requirements, and physical condition before the new system is installed in Ellerslie. Significant duct leakage reduces the performance of any AC system installed on it in Ellerslie, GA. Air America assesses the existing ductwork as part of every replacement installation in Ellerslie.
An overcharged system produces elevated head pressure that stresses the compressor and reduces efficiency in Ellerslie. An undercharged system reduces cooling capacity and may cause the evaporator coil to freeze in Ellerslie, GA. Both conditions reduce the system's efficiency rating significantly below what the equipment is rated for and accelerate compressor wear in Ellerslie. Air America verifies the refrigerant charge to manufacturer specification on every installation in Ellerslie, GA.
AC installation costs in Ellerslie range from $3,500 to $5,500 for standard efficiency central systems in smaller homes, $4,500 to $7,000 for larger homes, $5,500 to $9,000 for high-efficiency systems, and $6,000 to $10,000 and above for variable speed heat pump systems in Ellerslie, GA. All pricing confirmed before any equipment is ordered in Ellerslie.
Yes. Every Air America AC installation is guaranteed in Ellerslie. If the installation does not perform as specified within the guarantee period, we return and address it at no additional charge in Ellerslie, GA.
