AC Installation & Replacement

Installing or replacing central air is often more straightforward and cost-effective than many anticipate, especially in homes with existing furnace ducts. We can retrofit current ductwork to fit a new AC unit, creating a seamless upgrade that delivers even cooling throughout your property.

A major advantage of working with Thompson Electrical Service is that all sheet metal fabrication, ductwork, and vents are completed on-site. This hands-on approach minimizes errors, allows for exact measurements tailored to your property, keeps costs lower, and accelerates project completion.

How We Determine the Right AC for Your Property

Selecting the right unit involves more than choosing a brand; it’s about matching the system to your property and daily needs. 

Our team evaluates several key factors to determine the best option:

• Unit size. Systems that are too small run continuously, increasing energy use and wear. Units that are too large cycle inefficiently, consuming excess electricity.
• Heat-gain calculations. We assess square footage, insulation, window placement, sunlight exposure, and overall layout to select the correct cooling capacity.
• Efficiency. Each unit has a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating. A higher SEER delivers more cooling per watt of electricity. Federal standards require new systems to meet a minimum SEER of 13, though higher ratings often reduce energy costs over time.
• Compatibility. We ensure new AC systems integrate smoothly with existing thermostats, ductwork, and zoning controls for optimal performance.

By carefully evaluating these factors, we help you achieve a balance of efficiency, comfort, and cost-effectiveness.
