Questions we hear
How much does AC installation cost in Cumming?
Most AC installations run $5,500 to $14,500 with a matched indoor coil. Duct or electrical work, when needed, is listed separately on the estimate.
What is the difference between installation and replacement?
Installation is a new system where there was none, like an addition or a home on window units. Replacement swaps an existing system. The price ranges are the same.
Do I need new ductwork?
Not always. We inspect existing ducts during the estimate and use them if they are sized and sealed properly. New runs are quoted separately.
Do you install ductless mini-splits?
Yes, for garages, additions and rooms without ducts. Mini-splits are quoted in writing after we see the space.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Financing with 0% APR plans is available, subject to credit approval. Each option on your estimate shows the monthly payment next to the pay-in-full price.
What warranty comes with a new system?
The manufacturer's 10-year limited parts warranty, which we register for you, plus our 1-year labor warranty.
