Installation costs are difficult to determine without a thorough inspection of your wants and needs and the availability of parts.

But on average, you can expect an AC installation to cost between three thousand and seven thousand dollars. This includes the cost of the unit and labor. As always, the more you install, the more you save with Just Fix It!

An AC installation includes:

• Site Examination: If you’re replacing an AC unit, it’s likely at least a decade old or more! New units are much larger than older ones because they contain larger coils, making them more efficient. Therefore, the current space for your AC may not accommodate the modern one you’re about to install. A professional from Just Fix It can examine if the current space will work or find a new place for your new AC.
• Current AC Removal: Before a pro can install the new one, the old one must go. You CAN NOT do this step on your own.
• EPA standards prohibit openly venting an AC’s refrigerant into the atmosphere. A Just Fix It professional can safely and correctly remove the refrigerant.
• Area Prep: Once the old AC is removed, the area will need to be prepped for the new one. The pad the AC sits on will need to be replaced. ACs are heavy, so some ground sinkage is possible, too. Gravel will be used to level the ground.
• The Unit Itself: The cost of AC installation will also include the unit’s price.
• The Labor: The labor it takes to install the unit will be included in the price.

An air conditioning unit installation is a complicated process that requires many tools, years of knowledge, and dangerous chemicals. Also, some parts of AC installation require licensing to ensure safe handling.

Additionally, AC units are hefty, have sharp metal edges, and are connected to electricity. These factors combine to make AC installation a potentially dangerous job for a non-professional.

But professionals have years of experience ensuring your AC installation goes smoothly and safely. So let the pros at Just Fix It handle it.

Ideally, a ductless mini-split system should be placed seven to eight feet above the floor, with about eight inches of space from the ceiling.

Ductless mini-split systems need to be installed to allow easy access to the air filters and louvers.

A ductless mini-split is several small units that regulate the temperature in specific rooms. Each unit runs independently, depending on a particular room’s needs and square footage. This has enormous savings potential since you’ll only be using energy to cool rooms you want instead of wasting cool air on rooms you don’t need it in.

A leaky air duct can be responsible for up to thirty percent of efficiency loss in a central system. You won’t have that problem with a ductless mini-split.

They also don’t collect dust and other contaminants that a duct might, so ductless produces good air quality.

Central air conditioning circulates cool air through a system of ducts. Air is cooled in a central location and dispersed through a home through the duct network. Cool air enters a room through an air vent.
