Professional AC Installation & System Replacement

If your air conditioning system is aging, inefficient, or constantly breaking down, it's time for a new installation. Jax AC Service specializes in installing high-efficiency AC systems that cool your Jacksonville home effectively while keeping energy bills reasonable. We handle everything from system selection and sizing to professional installation and startup.

Whether you're replacing an old system or installing AC in a previously uncooled space, licensed technicians in our network ensure proper installation for maximum performance and longevity. We work with the industry's top brands and offer flexible financing options to make upgrading affordable.

Proper System Sizing & Selection

Custom Load Calculations

Installing the right-size system is crucial. Too small, and it won't cool your home effectively. Too large, and you'll waste money on unnecessary capacity. We perform detailed load calculations considering your home's square footage, insulation, window placement, orientation, and local climate. This ensures your new system operates at peak efficiency.

Choosing the Right System

We guide you through options including split systems (indoor and outdoor units), packaged units, heat pumps, and ductless mini-split systems. Each has advantages depending on your home's layout and needs. We recommend systems that balance your budget with energy-saving goals and climate control performance.

Brand Recommendations

We partner with Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, and other top-tier brands. Each offers different features, warranties, and price points. Our experience installing these systems means we know which brands deliver reliable performance in Florida's hot, humid climate.

AC System Replacement & Upgrades

Replacing Aging AC Systems

Systems over 15 years old often consume excessive energy and require frequent repairs. Replacing an old system with a new, high-efficiency model can cut your cooling costs by 30-40%. Modern systems are quieter, cleaner, and more reliable than older models. We handle complete removal of your old system and professional installation of the new one.

Energy Efficiency Upgrades

Florida's heat and humidity demand efficient cooling. By upgrading to a high-SEER system (SEER 16-20), you'll see significant savings on electricity bills. Many newer systems also include smart thermostats and variable-speed components that optimize cooling based on actual comfort needs, not just on/off operation.

Removing & Disposing Old Systems

We properly remove your old AC system, safely recovering refrigerant according to EPA standards, and disposing of components responsibly. The outdoor space is cleaned up so nothing's left behind. Installation of the new system is completed the same day in most cases.

Ductwork Installation & Modifications

New Ductwork Installation

If you're adding AC to a previously unconditioned area or building an addition, we design and install new ductwork. We size ducts to match your system and position them for optimal air distribution throughout your home.

Ductwork Upgrades

Old or damaged ductwork reduces system efficiency. We can upgrade existing ducts with improved insulation, seal leaks, or reroute ducts to improve airflow. Better ductwork means better cooling distribution and lower operating costs.

Zoning Systems

Control cooling in different areas of your home independently. Zoning systems use dampers in ductwork controlled by separate thermostats, letting you cool only occupied spaces. This increases comfort and reduces energy waste in unused rooms.

AC Installation FAQs

A new AC system typically costs $3,000-$7,000 installed, depending on the brand, size (tonnage), efficiency rating, and complexity of installation. Basic systems with standard efficiency start around $3,000. High-efficiency systems with smart controls and premium brands can reach $7,000 or more. We provide free quotes with detailed itemization so you understand what you're paying for.

Most AC installations take 4-8 hours if you're replacing an existing system. Installation includes removing the old system, installing the new indoor and outdoor units, connecting refrigerant lines, electrical work, and startup testing. If ductwork needs significant modifications or you're installing a system where none exists, the project may take 1-2 days. We'll give you an accurate timeline during your consultation.

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures how efficiently an AC system uses electricity. A higher SEER rating means lower operating costs. Standard systems are SEER 13-14, good systems are SEER 15-16, and high-efficiency systems are SEER 18-20. In Florida's hot climate with extended cooling seasons, upgrading from a SEER 13 to a SEER 16 system can save you $200-$400 annually on electricity.

Yes! We work with multiple financing companies to offer flexible payment plans. Many options feature little to no money down with terms of 24-84 months. Some programs offer 0% interest for qualified buyers. We can discuss your financing options and help you find the best plan for your situation during your free consultation.

Top brands for Jacksonville homes include Carrier (excellent reliability and warranty), Trane (premium quality and efficiency), Lennox (good efficiency and features), and York (great value). Each brand offers excellent performance in Florida's climate. The best brand for you depends on your budget, desired efficiency level, and warranty preferences. We can recommend the best option for your home and budget.

Generally, if your AC is less than 10 years old and the repair costs less than 50% of a new system, repair is the right choice. If your system is over 15 years old, replacement is usually more economical long-term, especially if it needs frequent repairs. If a single repair exceeds 50-60% of a new system's cost, replacement saves you money over time. We'll give you honest advice about repair vs. replacement options.
