HVAC Installation in Round Rock, TX

HVAC Installation

Is your air conditioner struggling to keep up with the brutal Texas heat, or are your monthly energy bills suddenly skyrocketing? Most homeowners in Round Rock, TX realize their cooling system is failing only when the indoor temperature hits 85 degrees on a July afternoon. Whether you are dealing with a system over ten years old in Forest Creek or finishing a new addition in Teravista, we provide transparent, high-performance HVAC installation in Round Rock, TX, that focuses on technical precision rather than sales fluff.

Repair vs. Replace: When is it Time for a New System?

Deciding between a quick fix and a total system upgrade is a significant financial decision. We recommend the 50% rule: if a repair costs more than half the value of your existing system, a full replacement is typically the wiser investment.

Systems in Central Texas work harder than almost anywhere else in the country. If your unit is between 10 and 15 years old, it’s likely nearing the end of its functional life. Beyond age, the phase-out of R-22 refrigerant has made older units much more expensive to maintain. 

Upgrading now lets you move to modern SEER2 energy-efficiency ratings, which significantly reduce your monthly operating costs.

Our HVAC Installation Process

If replacement is the right decision for your home, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, we tailor every aspect of our HVAC services and installation to your home’s unique layout and comfort needs. 

Here’s what you can expect from our professional, step-by-step approach:

1. System Sizing & Evaluation

A certified technician evaluates your home’s layout, square footage, insulation, and windows to recommend the right system size.

2. Old System Removal

We safely remove and dispose of your outdated equipment in compliance with environmental regulations.

3. Ductwork & Airflow Review

During the install, we inspect your existing ductwork and make adjustments where necessary, especially for high-efficiency systems requiring optimized airflow.

4. Professional Installation

From refrigerant piping to electrical connections, our team completes your installation with attention to detail and long-term performance in mind.

5. Code Compliance & Safety Checks

We make sure all work is up to date with local building codes and conduct safety checks before turning your system on.

6. Customer Walkthrough

At completion, we walk you through your new system’s features and thermostat, including maintenance tips and warranty information.

Frequently Asked Questions About New AC Installation

Do I need to be home for the installation?

We require an adult to be present at the start of the day to provide access and at the end of the day so we can walk you through your new thermostat and system features.

How long does installation take?

A standard replacement usually takes one full day, roughly eight to 10 hours. If we need to replace extensive ductwork, it may carry over into a second day.

What happens if it rains?

We can perform most of the indoor work during rain, but for safety reasons, we may need to reschedule the outdoor electrical and refrigerant work if there is heavy lightning or flooding.
