Central AC Systems We Install

We install complete central air conditioning systems that connect to your home's existing ductwork. Our AC installations include:

Outdoor condenser unit — the main cooling unit installed outside your home

Indoor evaporator coil — installed on top of your furnace or air handler

Refrigerant lines — connecting the indoor and outdoor components

Thermostat compatibility check — we make sure your thermostat works with the new system (and recommend smart thermostat upgrades if you're interested)

​

We install systems ranging from 14 SEER to 20+ SEER. Higher SEER ratings mean lower electricity costs — we'll help you find the right balance between upfront cost and long-term savings.

Signs It's Time for a New AC System

​No central air: You're relying on window units or portable ACs that can't keep up with Auburn's increasingly hot summers

Age: Your current AC is 10–15+ years old and losing efficiency
Rising electric bills: Your cooling costs keep climbing each summer
Uneven cooling: Some rooms are freezing while others stay warm
Frequent breakdowns: You've had multiple repairs in recent summers
Loud operation: Your outdoor unit is noticeably louder than it used to be

If any of these describe your situation, a new high-efficiency AC system can transform your home comfort and lower your cooling costs at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions — AC Installation

​​How long does AC installation take?
Most central AC installations are completed in one day — typically 4–8 hours. If ductwork modifications are needed, it may extend to a second day.

Do I need existing ductwork for central AC?
Yes, central AC systems use ductwork to distribute cool air. If your home doesn't have ductwork, a ductless mini-split system may be a better option — we install those too.

What SEER rating should I choose?
The minimum federal standard for the Pacific Northwest is 14 SEER. Higher SEER ratings (16–20+) cost more upfront but save significantly on electricity over the life of the system. We'll help you compare the real numbers for your home.

Will a new AC lower my electric bills?
Yes. If you're replacing an older system, a modern high-SEER unit can reduce your cooling costs by 20–40%. If you're switching from window units, the savings and comfort improvement are even more dramatic.
