in_home_mode Our FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Installation

Air conditioning installation costs vary based on system size, efficiency rating, installation complexity, and any required ductwork or electrical modifications. Systems typically range from budget-friendly standard-efficiency models to premium high-efficiency units with advanced features. Contact us at 412-370-0464 for a free in-home assessment and accurate installation estimate for your specific home.

Most air conditioning installations require one to two days to complete, depending on system complexity and any needed ductwork or electrical modifications. Simple changeouts replacing existing systems with similar equipment typically finish in one day. New installations requiring ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or complex configurations may require two days.

Proper air conditioner sizing requires detailed Manual J load calculations accounting for your home's square footage, insulation levels, window area, orientation, and Pittsburgh's specific climate. Rules of thumb like "one ton per 500 square feet" often lead to improperly sized equipment. During our free in-home assessment, we perform professional load calculations ensuring your new AC provides optimal comfort and efficiency.

The choice between standard and high-efficiency equipment depends on your budget, expected length of ownership, and priorities for comfort and operating costs. High-efficiency systems cost more upfront but deliver significant energy savings, superior comfort through variable-speed operation, and better humidity control. For homeowners planning to stay in their homes long-term, high-efficiency systems typically pay back their cost premium through energy savings.

Not necessarily. Air conditioners and furnaces can be replaced independently in most systems. However, if your furnace is approaching the end of its 15-20 year typical lifespan, replacing both simultaneously offers advantages: matched system performance, single installation disruption, combined installation savings, and unified warranty coverage.

R. Davis Mechanical specializes in Lennox and Heil air conditioning systems-brands known for reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance. Lennox offers premium features and industry-leading efficiency ratings, while Heil provides proven reliability with value-oriented pricing. Our technicians receive factory training on the equipment we install, ensuring expert installation and service.

Many homes have adequate ductwork for new air conditioner installation, but older or improperly designed duct systems may benefit from modifications. During your installation assessment, we evaluate duct sizing, sealing, insulation, and design to determine if modifications would improve performance. We only recommend ductwork modifications that deliver meaningful performance improvements.

Yes, we partner with NEIF EnergyPlus, Dollar Bank, and FTL Finance to offer low monthly payment options for AC installations. Our financing programs feature competitive rates, flexible terms, and fast approval processes that make professional installation affordable. Many homeowners discover that high-efficiency AC installation financed over time costs less per month than they currently spend on utility bills with inefficient systems.
