AC Installation Service in Boca Raton, FL
Installation means removing your existing system and putting in new equipment — usually both the outdoor condenser and the indoor air handler or coil. The job includes all the connections: refrigerant lines, electrical, condensate drain, and thermostat wiring. Getting the sizing right matters more than the brand name on the box.

How It Works
Our Process for AC Installation Service
- 1
Load calculation
We calculate the actual cooling load for your specific home — square footage, ceiling height, window area, insulation, and sun exposure. This determines what size unit you actually need.
- 2
Equipment selection
We match equipment to your load calculation and budget. We explain the efficiency tiers honestly — higher SEER costs more upfront and saves monthly. You choose.
- 3
Permit pull
We pull the required permit from the City of Boca Raton or Palm Beach County before work starts. This is not optional and protects your home's resale value.
- 4
Removal and installation
We remove the old equipment, install the new system, connect refrigerant lines, electrical, and drain. Typically a full day's work for a standard residential swap.
- 5
Commissioning
We verify refrigerant charge, airflow, and electrical readings match the manufacturer's specs before we close out the job.
- 6
Inspection and closeout
The permit inspection happens after install. We coordinate that. You get documentation confirming the system passed.
What's included
- Load calculation to determine correct equipment size for your home
- Permit application and coordination with the inspecting authority
- Full removal and disposal of old outdoor and indoor equipment
- All refrigerant, electrical connections, and condensate drain work
- Thermostat installation and programming if replacing an old unit
- Commissioning test with documented readings before job closeout
What's not included
- Ductwork replacement or sealing — quoted and done separately if needed

- Attic or closet modifications to fit new air handler dimensions
Real Situations
Common Scenarios in Boca Raton
A homeowner in a 1990s-era CBS home off Palmetto Park Road has a 15-year-old system with a dead compressor.
We walk them through the repair-versus-replace math honestly. The compressor cost plus the system's age makes replacement the better financial decision. We size the new unit correctly — their old system was actually oversized, which caused short-cycling and humidity problems.
A homeowner near West Boca converted their garage to a living space and the existing system can't keep up.
We run a new load calculation that includes the added square footage. In most cases this means stepping up to the next equipment size. We also check whether the existing ductwork can handle the increased airflow.
A real estate buyer in a Boca condo conversion needs a new system before closing.
We coordinate with the buyer's timeline and pull permits promptly. We document everything the new owner will need for their records and the HOA.
Boca Raton Context
Why this matters in Boca Raton
A large share of Boca Raton's single-family housing was built between 1978 and 2000. Many of those original systems are hitting end of life now. Florida building code requires permits for AC replacement — skipping the permit is a real problem at resale. Salt air in east Boca also accelerates corrosion on outdoor condenser coils and electrical components.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Installation cost varies based on equipment efficiency tier, system size, and what condition the existing electrical and drain infrastructure is in. If the old refrigerant lines are corroded or undersized, replacing them adds cost. We find that out during removal and tell you before we proceed.
