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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new AC system cost?

A complete residential AC system costs $4,500-$8,000 for standard efficiency (14-16 SEER2) and $7,000-$12,000 for high-efficiency (18+ SEER2). This includes the outdoor unit, indoor coil, refrigerant lines, thermostat, and installation labor.

What size AC do I need?

AC size depends on your home square footage, insulation, window area, ceiling height, and climate zone. A Manual J load calculation determines the exact tonnage. Rough guide: 1 ton per 500-600 sq ft in hot climates.

How long does AC installation take?

Most residential AC installations are completed in one day (6-10 hours). If extensive ductwork modifications are needed, it may take 2 days.

What SEER rating should I get?

The minimum is now 14-15 SEER2 depending on region. We recommend 16+ SEER2 for the best balance of cost and efficiency. 18+ SEER2 systems offer the lowest operating costs but have higher upfront prices.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We offer financing options with approved credit, including 0% interest for 12-18 months on qualifying systems. Ask about current promotions.

How long does a new AC last?

A properly installed and maintained AC system lasts 15-20 years. Regular maintenance (twice yearly) is the single biggest factor in system longevity.
