How long does AC installation typically take in Boynton Beach?
Most residential AC installations are completed in one day, typically 6-8 hours. However, the timeline can vary based on system complexity, ductwork modifications needed, and whether we're doing a straightforward replacement or installing a completely new system. Complex installations requiring electrical upgrades or extensive ductwork may take 2 days. We'll provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
What size AC system do I need for my Boynton Beach home?
Proper sizing depends on multiple factors including your home's square footage, insulation quality, window placement, ceiling height, and Boynton Beach's climate conditions. Our technicians perform detailed Manual J load calculations to determine the exact tonnage required—typically 1 ton per 400-600 square feet in South Florida. Oversized or undersized systems can lead to inefficiency, humidity problems, and premature failure.
How much does AC installation cost in Boynton Beach?
AC installation costs typically range from $3,500 to $7,500+ depending on system size, efficiency rating (SEER), brand selection, and installation complexity. High-efficiency systems and larger homes require greater investment but deliver long-term energy savings. We provide free, detailed estimates with transparent pricing so you understand exactly what you're paying for before work begins.
What SEER rating should I choose for Boynton Beach's climate?
