How long does a new AC unit installation take?

A standard residential change-out usually takes six to ten hours. If we have to modify your ductwork or move the air handler location, it might extend into a second day. We prioritize getting the air moving before we leave.

Is it better to repair or replace my old air conditioner?

If your unit is over 12 years old and requires more than $1,000 in repairs, you should replace it. Frequent R-22 refrigerant leaks or a failed compressor are signs that an AC replacement is more cost-effective than another band-aid fix.

Do I need a permit for a new AC installation?

Yes, we handle the entire City of Arlington and City of Grand Prairie permitting process for you. Navigating local building codes and scheduling the final inspection is part of our standard service to ensure safety and compliance.

Will a larger unit cool my house faster?

Properly sized units cycle less frequently, which significantly reduces the wear and tear on your compressor. Modern inverter-driven systems can lower your monthly electric bill by 30 percent or more compared to older 10 SEER units.

Precision Sizing for Maximum Efficiency

Most contractors just look at your old unit and swap it for the same size. That is a mistake. Over 50 percent of existing systems in DFW are sized incorrectly for the square footage. An oversized unit cycles on and off too fast, leaving your home humid and clammy. An undersized unit runs 24/7 and burns out the motor.

We perform a full Manual J load calculation before any air conditioner installation. We look at your attic insulation, window efficiency, and South-facing walls. This ensures your central air conditioning installation provides even cooling in every bedroom. Precision sizing stops the short-cycling that kills compressors.

New central air conditioning system installation by Boost Air And Plumbing

Premium Equipment from Trane and Goodman

We do not install generic, unbranded equipment that fails after three years. Boost Air And Plumbing focuses on reliable brands like Trane and Goodman. These manufacturers build units specifically designed for high-ambient temperatures. We also offer Honeywell and ecobee smart thermostats to help you manage your energy usage from your phone.

A new AC installation is a massive investment. You deserve a system that stays quiet and keeps the electric bill manageable. We prioritize 16 SEER2 and higher ratings to meet current federal standards and local codes. These units use R-410A or newer R-454B refrigerants that are better for the environment and easier to service.

Expert Installation Practices and Materials

The quality of the install matters more than the brand of the box. Our team uses silver-brazing techniques for all copper connections to prevent refrigerant leaks. We install new secondary drain pans and float switches to protect your ceiling from water damage. Attic temperatures across North Texas can hit 140 degrees, so we use high-grade insulation on all lines.

Every AC replacement includes a new filter drier and a vibration pad for the outdoor unit. We pull a deep vacuum on the system to remove moisture and non-condensables. This step is critical for a long-lasting kit. We never skip the small details that prevent premature system failure.
