AC Installation

Our AC installation services in Mountain View are designed to meet various needs, accounting for each property’s unique layout, size, and cooling requirements. Each step in the installation process is carefully executed to ensure seamless integration and system efficiency. Proper installation not only extends the life of your cooling system but also optimizes performance, creating a comfortable environment capable of enduring even the hottest days Mountain View has to offer.

Steps in the AC Installation Process

Each AC installation we handle follows a precise, detailed process to guarantee quality and efficiency. Here’s a closer look at each step:

  1. Site Assessment and Evaluation: The installation begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the property to determine the best locations for indoor and outdoor units. This assessment identifies ideal placements for ductwork and ensures compliance with all local building codes. Proper planning ensures that the AC installation is efficient and well-suited to the property’s specific layout.
  2. System Sizing and Selection: Proper system sizing is critical to ensuring efficient and effective cooling. Our team guides clients in selecting the right system size based on the building’s size, insulation, and usage patterns. Correct sizing minimizes energy consumption and optimizes cooling output, creating a balanced indoor environment that feels comfortable without energy waste.
  3. Ductwork Planning and Installation: For central air conditioning systems, a well-designed ductwork layout is essential. Secure installation prevents air leaks and uneven airflow, which helps maintain consistent cooling throughout all rooms. Well-installed ducts reduce the chances of energy loss, which can lead to higher bills, and enhance the AC’s cooling power.
  4. Positioning of Units and Components: The indoor and outdoor units, along with thermostats, are strategically placed to allow optimal airflow, noise reduction, and accessibility for future maintenance. Proper positioning not only enables efficient cooling but also enhances the aesthetic integration of the system with the property.
  5. Testing and Final Adjustments: The installation process concludes with extensive testing of the system’s operation. Our technicians check for optimal airflow, verify refrigerant levels, and calibrate the thermostat to ensure everything functions as it should. This final phase guarantees that your AC is ready to perform reliably and efficiently for years.

New Central or Ductless AC Systems

Selecting the right AC system involves deciding between central air and ductless mini-splits. Each option has distinct benefits, depending on the building’s layout, size, and energy preferences. Central air conditioning is perfect for larger homes or businesses that need uniform cooling across multiple rooms from a single unit. Conversely, ductless mini-splits offer independent temperature control in specific rooms, making them ideal for smaller spaces, rooms without existing ductwork, or properties seeking zoned comfort. At Sandium Heating & Air Conditioning, we work closely with clients in Mountain View to choose the best cooling solutions for their unique requirements.

Central Air Conditioning Systems

Central air conditioning systems provide even cooling across an entire home or commercial space. Installed with properly designed ductwork, central AC systems keep temperatures consistent and energy use efficient. Here’s a look at the advantages central air brings:

  • Single Source Cooling: One central unit is responsible for cooling multiple rooms, distributing air through a network of ducts to ensure consistent temperatures throughout the property.
  • Energy Savings: When paired with programmable thermostats and secure duct installation, central AC systems can significantly reduce energy costs.
  • Improved Indoor Air Quality: Central AC systems often include filters that capture dust, allergens, and pollutants, resulting in cleaner air for occupants and reducing potential health risks.

Central air conditioning is a robust, efficient option for homeowners and businesses alike.

Ductless Mini-Split AC Systems

Ductless mini-splits offer an efficient, flexible alternative to central AC, particularly for spaces that don’t have pre-existing ducts or for those who prefer zoned temperature control. Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor air-handling units, each providing individual room cooling. 

Our team at Sandium Heating & Air Conditioning helps clients in Mountain View select the right system for their space and provides high-quality installation to ensure maximum performance and satisfaction.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about and how we can help.

How do central and ductless AC systems differ?

Central air conditioning systems cool multiple rooms through one main unit and ductwork, delivering even cooling throughout a property. Ductless mini-splits, on the other hand, offer individual room cooling with separate units for each area, allowing zoned comfort without ductwork.

How long does the AC installation process take?

Installation time depends on the system type and the property’s layout. Central air systems typically take a few days to install, especially if new ductwork is required. Ductless mini-splits, however, can often be installed in one or two days, depending on the number of indoor units and their placements.

What are the benefits of a professional AC installation?

Professional installation ensures the correct system sizing, secure connections, and optimal positioning of all components, leading to energy-efficient operation and fewer repairs over time. This process extends the lifespan of the AC system, provides better indoor comfort, and reduces utility costs.
