Installing a new AC without checking line set length, refrigerant match, and cooling load is how Shafer homeowners end up with a unit that never performs to spec. We assess before we recommend equipment.
New AC installs miss their rated SEER2 efficiency more often than people realize, usually from oversizing or a mismatched line set. We follow real numbers, not the easiest install.
What we don't cut corners on.
We calculate before we recommend.
A range of efficiency tiers lets you weigh upfront cost against long-term savings to fit different budgets.
You get a written labor warranty on top of manufacturer coverage.
Line sets follow manufacturer specification, not the shortest physical route, since a bad run quietly kills efficiency.
What a full installation project covers.
We assess insulation, window exposure, and orientation to calculate correct tonnage, not a generic estimate.
SEER2 ratings get explained in plain terms so the decision is based on real numbers, not marketing language.
Line sets are sized and insulated to manufacturer spec, avoiding efficiency losses from a poor run.
Placement is planned, not just wherever's convenient.
We test before calling it done, not just assumed correct.
Old systems get removed and disposed of properly, refrigerant recovered per EPA regulation.
What to expect on an install project.
We book an in-person cooling load assessment, since accurate sizing can't be done by phone.
A tech shows up with assessment equipment and evaluates the home for a direct evaluation.
The quote includes several SEER2 efficiency tiers based on your actual load numbers.
Installation is completed and warrantied.
Feedback from completed AC installation projects.
Compared quotes from four companies before deciding. This was the only one that showed me actual Manual J numbers instead of a flat price sheet.

We wanted the quietest unit available since our bedroom windows face the side yard where it sits. They steered us toward a model rated specifically for noise.
— I. Adeyinka, homeowner
Had a mini-split installed in a converted garage that never had ductwork. Clean install, didn't have to cut into any walls we cared about.
— C. Bergstrom, homeowner
Installed new rooftop units at two of our retail locations within the same week. Consistent process and pricing at both sites.

What people ask before installing.
An accurate size comes from an in-home load calculation, not square footage alone is the only reliable way to size correctly.
Depends on your climate and how long you'll own the home, we walk through the math.
Most residential installs finish in a single day, longer for complex line runs.
Removed and disposed of with proper refrigerant recovery, to EPA standard.
Yes, both ducted and ductless options are available, chosen based on the property.
Installation mistakes are our responsibility to correct, free of charge, on top of whatever the manufacturer covers on the equipment itself.
