Frequently Asked Questions
How much does AC installation cost in Snohomish County?
Cost varies based on system size, efficiency rating, and whether ductwork modifications are needed. A standard central AC installation typically ranges from $3,500–$8,000 installed. We provide a free, detailed estimate so you know exactly what to expect before committing.
Can you add central AC to a home that only has a furnace?
Yes — if your home has existing ductwork, adding central AC is usually straightforward. We'll evaluate your ductwork condition and capacity during the estimate and let you know if any modifications are needed. In most cases, we can add AC to an existing forced-air system in one day.
What SEER2 rating should I choose for my Snohomish County home?
SEER2 measures cooling efficiency — higher is better. For Snohomish County, we typically recommend 16–18 SEER2 systems for the best balance of upfront cost and long-term savings. Higher-efficiency models cost more upfront but pay back through lower energy bills over time. We'll help you calculate the payback period for your specific usage.
How long does AC installation take?
Most central AC installations are completed in one day. If ductwork modifications are needed, it may take an additional day. We'll give you a specific timeline during your free estimate.
Should I replace my AC or repair it?
If your AC is over 12–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or uses R-22 refrigerant (which is no longer manufactured), replacement is usually the better investment. Our $69 diagnostic gives you an honest assessment so you can make an informed decision.
What brands do you install?
We are authorized dealers for Rheem, Coleman, and Johnson Controls — all top-tier brands with strong warranty programs. We'll recommend the best fit for your home and budget.
Do I need a permit for AC installation in Washington?
Yes — AC installation in Washington State requires a permit, and all work must be code-compliant. We handle the permit process as part of every installation. Be cautious of any contractor who suggests skipping the permit.
Is a heat pump a better option than central AC?
If you're adding cooling to a home that only has heat, a heat pump is worth considering — it provides both heating and cooling in one system, and may be more cost-effective than installing separate AC and keeping an aging furnace. We'll walk you through both options during your estimate.
