Steps in the AC Installation Process

  1. Site Assessment and Evaluation: A thorough evaluation of the property identifies ideal locations for units, and optimal placement of ductwork (if needed), and ensures that the installation meets building codes.
  2. System Sizing and Selection: Proper sizing and type selection are crucial to ensure efficient cooling. Selecting the correct system size maximizes cooling efficiency without overloading energy consumption.
  3. Ductwork Planning and Installation: For central air systems, designing an optimized ductwork layout is key. Proper planning and secure duct installation eliminate air leaks and ensure consistent air distribution.
  4. Positioning of Units and Components: Placement of outdoor and indoor units is done carefully to prevent obstructions, minimize noise, and ensure optimal airflow for effective cooling.
  5. Testing and Final Adjustments: Each installation concludes with extensive testing of the unit’s operations, checking for optimal airflow, refrigerant levels, and thermostat calibration to ensure complete functionality and cooling performance.

New Central or Ductless AC Systems

Choosing between central air and ductless AC depends on specific building requirements, aesthetic preferences, and energy goals. Central air conditioners offer consistent cooling across multiple rooms through a single system with ductwork, making them ideal for larger homes or businesses. Ductless mini-splits, on the other hand, offer flexible installation with individual units that cool specific rooms independently, creating a zoned comfort experience. Whether you’re looking for a traditional central AC system or a modern ductless setup, Sandium Heating & Air Conditioning ensures top-quality installations and energy efficiency.

Central Air Conditioning Systems

Central air conditioning provides uniform cooling for homes and businesses. When expertly installed, central systems enhance comfort and reduce energy use by efficiently circulating air. Features include:

  • Single Source of Cooling: One unit provides cooling for multiple rooms, distributing conditioned air through ducts.
  • Energy Savings: When paired with programmable thermostats and properly installed ducts, central systems can save on energy costs.
  • Clean Indoor Air: Central systems can include air filters, removing dust, allergens, and pollutants from indoor air.

Ductless Mini-Split AC Systems

Ductless mini-splits are a versatile alternative, allowing independent temperature control in each room. Ideal for buildings without pre-existing ductwork or additions to a home or business, ductless systems are energy-efficient and compact. Benefits include:

  • Zoned Comfort: Each unit cools a specific area, allowing for tailored temperatures across different zones.
  • Easy Installation: No ductwork required, minimizing structural alterations.
  • Energy Efficiency: Ductless systems consume less energy by cooling only occupied areas.

Both central and ductless systems have their advantages. Choosing the best fit depends on your space, budget, and personal comfort preferences. Sandium Heating & Air Conditioning guides customers in selecting the most suitable AC solutions and provides expert installation to ensure top-tier performance.

Frequently asked questions

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

What’s the difference between central and ductless AC systems?

Central AC systems use ducts to cool multiple rooms through a single source, while ductless mini-splits cool specific areas independently. Central systems suit large spaces; ductless systems are ideal for focused, zoned comfort without the need for ducts.

How long does the AC installation process typically take?

AC installation time varies depending on the system and the complexity of the setup. Generally, central systems may take a few days, while ductless systems often install within a day or two, depending on the number of units.

What are the benefits of professional AC installation?

Professional installation ensures proper system sizing, secure duct connections, and optimal placement, leading to efficient operation, lower energy bills, and fewer repairs. It guarantees that the AC functions effectively, providing lasting comfort.
