AC replacement and installation in Hermitage

A replacement is a chance to correct the ducts

In older Hermitage homes the ducts are often the weakest part of the system. They run through hot attics or crawl spaces, they have leaked for years and they were sized for equipment that no longer exists. A new high-efficiency air conditioner connected to the same tired ducts will not perform as rated. We inspect the ductwork on every estimate and tell you what should be repaired, sealed or modified so that the new equipment does what it is supposed to do.

Our approach to sizing and efficiency

We measure the house instead of copying the old tonnage. Square footage, insulation, windows and orientation, ceiling height and ducts all matter, and in a humid area near the lake an oversized unit does real harm because it cools fast and removes little moisture. Efficiency is rated in SEER2. Staged and variable-speed systems run longer at lower output, which manages humidity better and runs quieter, at a higher price. We explain what each option does so the choice is yours.

Special situations we handle in Hermitage

Each of these has its own approach:

• Attic air handlers. We plan access, replace the drain pan and line and add a float switch so a clog cannot become a ceiling leak.
• Crawl space equipment. We check moisture and clearance and plan the install around access.
• Condos and townhomes. We coordinate with association rules on pad locations, noise and scheduling.
• Homes with a second system. When one system is replaced and the other is not, we think about how they will work together.

What a complete installation includes

Every installation is clean, code-compliant and backed by a 10-year parts and labor warranty on new installations:

• Reviewing the house and ductwork before equipment is chosen
• A level pad and clearances for the outdoor unit
• A matched indoor coil and a correctly sized line set
• Evacuating and charging to manufacturer specifications
• A sloped condensate drain with a safety switch
• Safe electrical connections and a compatible thermostat
• A full test, a walk-through and cleanup
