The #1 A/C Installation
Services in Parker, CO

Proper sizing is crucial for comfort and efficiency, which is why we never guess or use rules of thumb. Our NATE certified technicians perform detailed Manual J load calculations that consider your home's square footage, insulation levels, window types and placement, directional orientation, and local climate data. Based on our 30+ years of experience in the Denver area, we've found that many homes have incorrectly sized systems, leading to comfort issues and premature failure. We'll ensure your new system is perfectly matched to your home's actual cooling needs.

Most residential A/C installations are completed in one day, typically 6-8 hours for a standard replacement. The timeline can vary based on factors like system complexity, necessary ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades needed, accessibility of equipment locations, and whether it's a replacement or new installation. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation and keep you informed throughout the process. Our goal is to minimize disruption while ensuring every detail is handled correctly.

Our comprehensive installation service includes everything needed for a complete, professional job. This covers removal and disposal of old equipment, installation of new indoor and outdoor units, refrigerant lines and electrical connections, thermostat installation and programming, ductwork connections and minor modifications, system start-up and commissioning, complete cleanup of work areas, and warranty registration. We also include a thorough explanation of your new system's operation and maintenance requirements.

Absolutely! Your new A/C system comes with multiple layers of protection. Manufacturer warranties typically cover parts for 10 years and sometimes include compressor coverage up to 12 years. We add our own installation warranty covering workmanship for the first year. Extended warranties are available for additional peace of mind. We'll explain all warranty options and help you register your equipment to ensure full coverage. Regular maintenance is usually required to keep warranties valid.

Yes, we specialize in adding A/C to homes without existing cooling systems. This might involve installing new ductwork if your home lacks it, utilizing existing heating ducts with modifications, considering ductless mini-split options, adding proper electrical circuits, and ensuring adequate return air pathways. Our experience with older Denver-area homes means we're familiar with common challenges and solutions for retrofit installations.

As authorized dealers for Rheem, Carrier, and Armstrong, we recommend these brands based on their reliability, efficiency, warranty coverage, and parts availability. Each brand offers different advantages – Rheem's innovative features and smart home integration, Carrier's long-standing reputation and advanced technology, and Armstrong's value and dependability. We'll help you choose the brand and model that best fits your needs and budget rather than pushing any particular option.

A/C installation is the perfect time to address overall home efficiency. We often recommend adding insulation to attics or walls, sealing air leaks around windows and doors, upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat, improving ductwork insulation and sealing, considering zoning for unused areas, and adding better air filtration. These improvements work together with your new high-efficiency A/C to maximize comfort while minimizing energy costs.

We partner with three financing companies to provide flexible payment options. Synchrony offers traditional financing with competitive rates and various term lengths. Wisetack provides quick approvals with a simple application process. JB Financing offers alternative solutions for different credit situations. Many customers qualify for promotional rates or extended terms that make monthly payments very affordable. We'll help you explore all options during your consultation.

While we install systems year-round, spring and fall offer several advantages including more flexible scheduling, time for proper system setup without emergency pressure, potential off-season promotions, and comfortable working conditions for our technicians. However, if your system fails during summer, we'll prioritize your installation to restore comfort quickly. Planning ahead allows you to make decisions without the pressure of a breakdown.

Yes, proper permits are required for A/C installation in Parker and throughout the Denver metro area. Permits ensure work meets safety codes, protect your home's value, and are often required for warranty validity. We handle all permit applications and scheduling of required inspections as part of our installation service. This eliminates hassle for you while ensuring everything is done properly and legally.

Proper maintenance is essential for maximizing your investment. We recommend changing filters monthly during cooling season, keeping outdoor units clear of debris, scheduling annual professional maintenance, monitoring energy bills for unusual increases, and addressing any unusual noises or performance issues promptly. Our maintenance plans make this easy by providing scheduled service, priority repairs, and cost savings on any needed work.

SEER2 is the new efficiency testing standard that more accurately reflects real-world operating conditions. While SEER tested equipment in ideal laboratory conditions, SEER2 accounts for factors like external static pressure that affect actual performance. A 16 SEER unit typically rates about 15.2 SEER2. We'll explain these ratings in detail and help you understand the real energy savings potential of different efficiency levels.

Whether you can keep your existing thermostat depends on its compatibility with your new equipment. Older thermostats may not support new features like variable-speed operation or humidity control. We'll evaluate your current thermostat and recommend whether replacement would improve comfort and efficiency. Many customers upgrade to smart thermostats during installation to take advantage of energy-saving features and remote control capabilities.

Professional installation ensures your system operates safely, efficiently, and reliably. Our certified technicians have the specialized tools for proper refrigerant handling, knowledge of local codes and permit requirements, ability to perform accurate load calculations, and experience to handle unexpected challenges. We also provide warranty protection and ongoing support. DIY installation risks improper operation, safety hazards, voided warranties, and potential legal issues.

Parker's elevation and climate create unique considerations for A/C installation. The lower air density at altitude affects system capacity and airflow requirements. Temperature swings between day and night impact equipment sizing. Low humidity levels influence comfort settings and equipment selection. Our local experience ensures we account for these factors, resulting in systems that perform optimally in Colorado's challenging environment. We understand how Denver-area weather patterns affect cooling needs throughout the season.
