Ready to Get Started?
Installation begins with a conversation, not a sales pitch. We'll schedule an in-home consultation where we measure your space, evaluate your existing ductwork and electrical service, discuss your cooling preferences and any rooms that never seem comfortable, explain the system options that genuinely fit your home, and provide a clear, itemized quote. There's no obligation and no pressure — just honest advice from a team that brings three decades of experience to homes across this region. When you're ready to move forward, we handle the permits, scheduling, and every detail from old-system removal to final startup.
From Consultation to Startup: Your Installation, Step by Step
Load Calculation & System Assessment
We begin by evaluating your home's cooling needs in detail. Our technicians measure square footage, inspect insulation quality in attics and walls, assess window placement and solar exposure from all sides, examine ductwork condition, and discuss your specific cooling comfort preferences and usage patterns. This calculation determines the right AC capacity—oversized systems waste energy and cause temperature swings, while undersized ones struggle to cool adequately on the hottest days and can't dehumidify effectively. We use industry-standard load-calculation software and methods to ensure accuracy. We perform a detailed whole-home energy assessment, measure window area, type and orientation, test existing ductwork for leaks, discuss your comfort priorities and any problem areas, explain the difference between single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed systems, and answer your questions about seasonal energy costs and performance under various outdoor temperatures.
System Selection & Equipment Choice
Once we know your home's cooling profile, we present equipment options that fit your budget and efficiency goals. Ruud systems are our primary recommendation because of their reliability and our partnership status, but we also install Daikin and American Standard units if you have a preference. We show you equipment specifications, performance data, and SEER2 efficiency ratings; explain the warranty coverage details; discuss estimated monthly cooling costs based on your local energy rates; break down the upfront equipment cost, installation labor, and any ductwork modifications; provide a clear, itemized quote with no hidden fees; and discuss available rebates from manufacturers and local utilities that could reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
Pre-Installation Planning
Before our crew arrives, we schedule a convenient installation date, confirm any special access needs (stairs, gates, pool equipment, landscaping), and review the ductwork design with you in detail. If your existing ducts need sealing, insulation, or modification to accommodate the new system, we scope that work precisely and include it in the plan. We also discuss placement of the outdoor condenser unit and any aesthetic or practical concerns. We confirm utility access for the crew, review any precautions to protect furniture, floors and plants, finalize the thermostat location and programming options, schedule the crew arrival window and estimated duration, discuss post-installation startup procedures, and confirm payment terms so you know what to expect on installation day.
Professional Installation & Ductwork
On installation day, our experienced crew arrives with all equipment, specialized tools, and protective coverings to safeguard your home. We remove the old system professionally and dispose of it responsibly per EPA and local regulations, then prepare and inspect all ductwork connections. We install the new indoor evaporator coil and outdoor condenser unit per manufacturer specifications, ensuring proper support, clearance, level concrete pad, vibration isolation, and drainage. We seal all ductwork joints with mastic and tape to prevent energy loss, install all refrigerant lines with proper insulation and slope, install new electrical connections per factory wiring diagrams, verify all safety controls and interlocks, measure actual airflow in return and supply ducts to verify balance, pull any required permits and coordinate local inspection, and register your new equipment with the manufacturer so your full warranty coverage is active from day one.
Startup, Testing & Homeowner Training
Before we leave, our technician runs a full system startup, verifies cooling performance, programs your thermostat to your preferences, and walks you through operation and basic maintenance. We verify the system reaches design temperature in all rooms, test safety controls and refrigerant charge, program the thermostat and explain all available features, review maintenance schedules for filter changes and annual tune-ups, leave you with your equipment documentation and warranty paperwork, and provide our direct number so you can reach us with any questions before we go.
Frequently Asked Questions About AC Installation
If your system is over 12–15 years old, has needed multiple repairs in the last few years, or is no longer keeping your home cool, replacement often makes financial sense. A new, efficient system will lower your cooling bills and give you years of reliable service. We can evaluate your current unit and give you honest advice about repair versus replacement.
That depends on your home's square footage, insulation, roof orientation, and climate. An undersized system won't cool adequately; an oversized one cycles on and off, wastes energy, and can cause humidity problems. We use a professional load calculation to size your system correctly—it's not guesswork.
Single-stage systems run at full capacity whenever they're on, which is simple but less efficient. Two-stage systems can run at partial capacity on mild days, saving energy. Variable-speed (inverter-type) systems adjust capacity continuously, offering the highest efficiency and most consistent comfort. We can recommend what makes sense for your budget and cooling needs.
Most installations take 6–10 hours depending on the complexity of your ductwork and whether we need to make modifications. We'll schedule a convenient day and give you a realistic timeframe. We clean up thoroughly after installation is complete.

Protect Your System With a Greers Ferry Area Maintenance Plan
An HVAC system that's maintained on a consistent schedule lasts longer, runs more efficiently, and breaks down less often at the worst possible time. At Greers Ferry Heat & Air, we offer maintenance plans for both residential homeowners and commercial businesses throughout Greers Lake, Fairfield Bay, and the surrounding Central Arkansas communities.
Residential Maintenance Plan
