It's important to choose the right contractor when you decide to install a new air conditioning system. When you choose Climate Design you will have my 32 years of experience 'on the job site' while your system is being installed. Details such as proper equipment sizing, freon line welding and support, evacuation of air and moisture, fine tuning of the freon charge for efficiency and sheet metal design all combine to make an installation that will last 20 years if properly done. If you make the mistake of hiring a contractor that sends apprentices to do your installation you could suffer the consequences of higher operating costs, freon leaks and noisy operation for many years to come.

     If the inside cooling 'A' coil will fit into your existing furnace air distribution system, I will use it and fabricate the additional sheet metal necessary for the coil installation. If you need a complete new sheet metal plenum on your furnace to accommodate the coil installation, I will inform you and include that in your estimate. I will not try to use the existing sheet metal plenum to save 40.00 or 50.00 dollars and have the finished job look and perform like an amateur installed it.
 
    In the end, it is relatively impossible for any contractor to spell out each and every part or technique they intend to use to install your new air conditioning system and that fact alone will cause installation bids to vary greatly. Unfortunately, you can not take an air conditioning installation for a test drive like you can a new car so you are basically left with no choice but to select the contractor you 'feel' will give you the best job. On that note let me say this. I have been installing systems for 32 years and I have installed each and every one as if it were in my own home. I will not cut the quality of your installation for any reason. I will guarantee your satisfaction with my work and if you feel something isn't right, tell me and I will make the necessary changes to meet your satisfaction.  

The bottom line:  Saving 100.00 dollars on an air conditioning system by hiring the cheapest priced contractor is an idea that could cost you much more than that over the next 20 years.

Here are some 'Approximate Prices' to give you an idea what a new central air system will cost you: 2 tons of cooling added to your existing furnace plenum   ...............   1,550.00 Each additional 1/2 ton cooling  .......................................................      150.00+/- Programmable Thermostat   .............................................................      110.00 Condensate Pump    ........................................................................         95.00 Electrical Connections (on new installations only)  ............................     280.00+/-

Remember each job has it's own problems and advantages so these prices are just ballpark to help you.

If you are building a new home, I can also provide complete design and installation on the HVAC system for your new construction.
