Energy-efficient air conditioning systems sized perfectly for your home. Professional installation with manufacturer warranties.
Call (323) 805-6143
Installing a new air conditioning system is one of the biggest investments you will make in your home. The right system, properly sized and installed, will keep your family comfortable for 15-20 years while keeping energy bills under control.
Air Conditioning Champions installs complete AC systems from all major brands. We perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact cooling capacity your home needs -- not a rough estimate based on square footage. Oversized systems short-cycle, waste energy, and fail early. Undersized systems run constantly and never reach comfortable temperatures.
A standard residential AC installation (3-5 ton system) typically costs $4,500-$8,000 depending on the brand, efficiency rating (SEER2), and any ductwork modifications needed. High-efficiency systems (18+ SEER2) cost more upfront but save 30-50% on cooling costs.
We handle everything: equipment selection, permits, installation, ductwork modifications, thermostat setup, and system commissioning. Most installations are completed in one day.
