How long does a new AC installation take?

A standard residential changeout (replacing an existing system) typically takes one day. New construction installs or full system upgrades with duct modifications can take 2–3 days.

What size AC do I need for my Alabama home?

Properly sizing equipment requires a Manual J load calculation that considers square footage, insulation, windows, orientation, and Alabama's specific climate. We do this for every install — it's the single most important factor in long-term comfort and efficiency.

What's the most efficient AC for the Alabama climate?

For most homes in Tuscaloosa and Northport, a 16–18 SEER2 variable-speed system is the sweet spot. Higher SEER units cost more upfront but pay back through summer electric bills. We'll model the payback for your specific home.

Do you offer warranties on installations?

Yes. Manufacturer warranties typically include 10-year parts coverage when the system is registered. We also back our labor with a workmanship warranty — details vary by equipment and we'll cover them clearly in your proposal.

Can you handle duct modifications during installation?

Absolutely. We do duct sealing, balancing, and modifications during installs. If your existing ductwork is undersized or leaky, we'll fix it — proper airflow is what makes a high-efficiency system actually deliver.

Do you finance new AC systems?

Yes — we work with financing partners to offer flexible monthly payment plans for new installations, often with promotional rates. Ask us during your in-home consultation.

What we do

What's included in a new system install.

A new AC is more than a box on a pad. Our installs include the sizing, ductwork, controls, and commissioning that determine how the system actually performs.

Manual J Load Sizing

Engineering-grade load calculation for your exact home — not a rule of thumb. The single most important step in getting comfort and efficiency right.

High-Efficiency Equipment

16–20 SEER2 single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed systems from Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, and other top brands.

Duct Inspection & Sealing

We inspect existing ductwork during every install. Leaky ducts waste 20–30% of your output — we seal, balance, or modify as needed.

Smart Thermostat Setup

Ecobee, Nest, Honeywell, and manufacturer communicating thermostats — installed, programmed, and tied to your Wi-Fi.

Heat Pump Options

Heat pumps are increasingly the right answer in Alabama — efficient cooling and heating in one system. We'll model the cost-benefit for your home.

System Commissioning

Charge verification, airflow measurement, and refrigerant subcooling/superheat tuning. The difference between a system that lasts 10 years and 20.

Permits & Inspections

We pull permits and coordinate with the city/county inspector when required — so the install is documented and code-compliant.

Old Equipment Disposal

We haul off and properly dispose of your old condenser, coil, and refrigerant. No mess left behind.

Why AirPros

What separates a great install from a cheap one.

Two contractors can install the same equipment and produce wildly different results. The difference is in the sizing, the ductwork, and the commissioning — the steps most installers skip to save an hour.

We don't oversize.

An oversized AC short-cycles, dehumidifies poorly, and dies young. We size to actual load — not a guess based on square footage.

We treat ductwork seriously.

If your ducts are leaky or undersized, even the best equipment underperforms. We diagnose and fix the duct system as part of the install.

We commission every system.

Refrigerant charge by subcooling, static pressure measurement, airflow verification. Skipping this is why so many systems fail at year 5.

We stand behind the work.

Manufacturer warranties + AirPros workmanship warranty. One phone number for anything that comes up — for the life of the system.
