A/C Installation Service
Installing an air conditioner correctly is of utmost importance. If it is improperly connected, your AC will provide insufficient cooling and may not operate efficiently; it can also create safety and health hazards. At Professional Air Solutions every employee is skilled, honest, and reliable. Therefore, our customers can have peace of mind that their new and repaired AC units will work as expected. Determining whether to replace your AC can be a difficult decision. Let us help you by carefully examining your unit or system to see if it can be affordably fixed or whether you stand to benefit by allowing us to select and install a new affordable, high-efficiency air conditioner.
When to Choose AC Installation
Waiting for your air conditioner to fail before replacing it is not the best idea. A failing system will negatively impact comfort, not to mention indoor air quality. The benefits of AC installation include:
Lower Maintenance Costs: The older an air conditioning system is, the more frequently it needs repairs and maintenance, which add up in cost. As original parts become harder to find, costs go up as do the chances of mismatching components, potentially leading to additional repairs.
Energy Efficiency: Air conditioners over 15 years old use more electricity than modern units. A lack of efficiency means higher energy bills; a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) determines how efficient a unit is (the higher the SEER rating, the more efficient it is).
Improved Well-Being: New air conditioners can more reliably remove dust, pollutants, allergens, and viruses from the air. Improved comfort means you can enjoy your home no matter how hot or cold it is outside—and sleep better too.
New AC installation can also add value to your home. Over time, the energy savings can mean the unit pays for itself. Potential homebuyers also look favorably upon newer, more efficient and reliable air conditioning without having to update a home’s HVAC system.
Determining the Right AC Unit
At Professional Air Solutions, our experienced technicians can explain the benefits of different types of air conditioning installation and discuss which system might be most suited for your home. The most common types of systems include:
Ductless Mini-Split: A system that cools individual areas of a home where ductwork cannot be installed. It does not provide cooling to areas you don’t use, improving efficiency and lowering cooling costs.
Central Air Conditioning Units: Central units distribute conditioned air through a system of ductwork, and can last 10 to 15 years. They also provide air filtration and dehumidification as well as more even cooling from room to room.
Package/Rooftop Units: Generally suited for flat roofs, packaged units connect to ductwork and save space. Most rooftop units are modular and easy to design and modify; they can also run effectively for up to 20 years.
Professional Air Solutions can install different types of AC units and their components, along with thermostats, and even address areas of your home that need to be insulated. We install leading brands of equipment and provide comprehensive maintenance plans and warranties.

A/C Install Process
Our A/C maintenance process is designed to ensure your cooling system operates efficiently and reliably throughout the warmest months. Starting with a comprehensive inspection, our certified technicians check for any signs of wear and tear, addressing potential issues before they become major problems. We then proceed to clean the air filters and coils, improving airflow and system efficiency. Our team also checks and refills refrigerant levels if necessary, ensuring your unit cools effectively. Finally, we calibrate the thermostat and inspect electrical connections to guarantee your A/C unit is not only running smoothly but is also optimized for energy savings. Trust us to keep your air conditioning system in peak condition, providing you with uninterrupted comfort and peace of mind.
Signs of AC Trouble and Wear and Tear
Maintaining your air conditioner properly can avoid or put off problems, but eventually wear and tear will take a toll. It is important to know when to service your AC because small troubles can lead to big hassles if not taken care of. Here are some of the top signs it is time to call an AC technician:
A Lack of Cool Air: Your air conditioning is on, but the air isn’t as cold as it should be, or it’s blowing hot air. This could be a sign of a bad compressor, dirty evaporator coils that need to be cleaned, or low freon levels.
Restricted Airflow: If the airflow from your AC or vents is weak, the cause can be worn motors or a blockage or leak in your ductwork. Airflow problems caused by debris can also pollute indoor air and become a health hazard.
Moisture Buildup: The presence of moisture can be due to a refrigerant leak or a damaged drain tube, which is designed to remove condensation when it’s working properly. Moisture can lead to rust and mold and microbiological growth.
Noise: Air conditioners make some noise, but squealing, grinding, or grating sounds are not normal; they typically mean something inside the AC is broken or failing, such as a belt or motor. In some cases, parts may need to be lubricated.
Odors: If the air coming from your AC smells musty, there may be mold inside the unit or ductwork. A foul, pungent smell can mean the unit’s wire insulation has burned through, which can also be a fire hazard.
