Professional AC Installation Near Brea, California
Professional AC Installation Near Brea, California
Cool, quiet, efficient — installed the right way.
Great equipment only performs great when it’s sized and installed correctly. We evaluate your home’s heat gain, ducts, electrical, and condensate routing to recommend a code-compliant AC system that cools evenly and efficiently.
We install high-efficiency central air conditioners and can also quote heat pumps or ductless mini-splits if they’re a better fit.
What to Expect on Install Day
- Protect floors/work areas; review scope and placement
- Remove old condenser/coil or air handler and set new pad/hangers
- Connect refrigerant lines, electrical, drain/condensate, and safety float switch
- Pressure test & evacuate the refrigerant circuit to manufacturer spec
- Charge & commission: verify superheat/subcool, temperature split, and airflow
- Seal & test duct connections (when part of scope)
- Thermostat setup and homeowner walkthrough
- Clean up and review maintenance & warranty details
Most standard AC installs finish in one day.

Air Conditioning Installation FAQs
How long does installation take?
Most standard central AC installs are completed in one day. Duct changes or add-ons can add time.
Do I need to replace my furnace too?
Not always. But matched systems improve efficiency, comfort, and warranty coverage. We’ll quote both ways.
Will you pull permits?
Yes — where required. We install to local code and coordinate inspections.
Can you reuse my existing line set?
If it’s the correct size, in good condition, and clean, often yes. Otherwise, we’ll recommend replacement or flush to protect the new system.
How do I keep my new AC running its best?
Change filters regularly, keep outdoor clearance, and schedule annual AC maintenance. We can add you to a simple plan.
