Air Conditioning Installation in Dunn, NC

A typical installation takes six to eight hours spread across one or two days. Removal of old equipment and minor ductwork modifications may add time. We’ll give you an estimated timeline when we schedule; most homes are done by late afternoon on a single day.

That depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, and climate zone. Proper sizing requires a load calculation — we measure your home and use industry software to calculate the exact BTU demand. We never guess; oversizing wastes money, and undersizing leaves you uncomfortable.

Neglected systems often fail by year 10. Our installation quality and your commitment to maintenance determine how many years you get.

Labor is covered for one year. Compressors carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty; parts typically have 5–10 year coverage depending on the component. We provide written warranty documentation. Extended warranties are available if you want additional peace of mind beyond the factory coverage.
