AC Installation in Ann Arbor, MI

The right path depends on your home’s ductwork, electrical capacity, comfort goals, and whether you want cooling only or year-round heating and cooling in one system. Our job is to help you choose the option that fits your home and the way you live in it.

Central Air Conditioner Installation for Michigan Homes

Right-sizing and load planning (the step that prevents comfort problems)

One of the biggest reasons homeowners end up disappointed after an install is simple: the system wasn’t sized for the home. Too large can cycle too quickly; too small can run constantly and still feel sticky.

Our planning process includes evaluating factors like:

• Home layout and square footage
• Sun exposure and insulation
• Existing ductwork condition and airflow
• Placement options for indoor and outdoor equipment 

That planning-first approach is baked into how we work—because lasting value starts before installation day.

Ductwork evaluation and airflow checks

Central AC relies on ductwork to deliver comfort evenly. If ducts are undersized, leaky, or poorly balanced, a new system may not solve the hot-room problem.

When needed, we’ll talk through improvements that support better comfort—like airflow balancing, duct repairs, or zoning strategies—so your new system actually performs the way it should.

Energy-Efficient Air Conditioner Installation and SEER2 Performance

Homeowners often want two things at once: better comfort and less wasted energy. Upgrading to a modern, energy-efficient system can help reduce overall energy consumption while improving indoor comfort—especially when installation details are handled precisely.

We’ll help you make sense of efficiency features and practical options, such as:

• Equipment choices that align with your comfort goals
  
• Smart thermostat compatibility for better control
  
• Installation practices that support real-world performance 

We also provide broader HVAC services in the Ann Arbor area—so if your home’s comfort issues are tied to more than the AC (like ventilation, humidity, or system design), we can address the whole picture.

Ductless Mini-Split Installation for Targeted Comfort

Some Ann Arbor-area homes are better served by ductless mini-splits—especially if you’re dealing with:

• Additions or finished spaces that never match the rest of the home
  
• Homes without existing ductwork
  
• Rooms that need independent temperature control 

Ductless systems use indoor heads connected to an outdoor unit, without the need for extensive ductwork. The installation process still requires precision: placement, line routing, electrical and refrigerant connections, and full system testing all matter for performance and longevity.

Heat Pump Installation as an Alternative to Traditional AC

If you like the idea of one system that can heat and cool, a heat pump may be a strong fit for Michigan’s seasonal swings. We install heat pump systems in Ann Arbor and help homeowners understand where they shine—especially when paired with smart controls and the right system design.

You’ll see many homeowners choose heat pumps for:

• Year-round comfort from a single system
  
• Efficient operation in moderate temperatures
  
• Flexible configurations depending on the home 

What to Expect During our AC Installation Process

We believe the best installs feel calm and straightforward for the homeowner—because we stay engaged and accountable all the way through.

Here’s a homeowner-friendly look at the process we follow:

1. Pre-install planning and options review
   We discuss goals, constraints, and system options so you can choose confidently. 
2. Site preparation and equipment placement
   We prep a stable location for the outdoor unit and verify installation requirements. 
3. System installation and connection
   We handle the mechanical and electrical connections and ensure everything is properly integrated. 
4. Testing, adjustments, and commissioning
   We run a comprehensive system test and make necessary adjustments. 
5. Final walkthrough and homeowner education
   We review operation and care so you feel comfortable using your new system. 

After Installation: AC Maintenance to Protect Performance

Even a great installation needs follow-through. Regular maintenance helps keep your system operating efficiently and can catch small issues before they become big disruptions.

For homeowners who want a “set it and forget it” option, we offer a maintenance club designed to keep heating and cooling systems running smoothly with routine tune-ups and priority scheduling.
