FAQs
What types of air conditioning systems do you install in Collegedale homes?
Advanced Installations Heating & Air Conditioning offers a full range of systems, including high-efficiency central split systems, ductless mini-splits, dual-fuel heat pumps, and light commercial rooftop units. We size every unit with ACCA Manual J load calculations to ensure proper capacity for Collegedale’s humid summers, and we carry ENERGY STAR-rated equipment from leading brands like Trane, Carrier, and Mitsubishi Electric.
How much does a new air conditioner installation typically cost in Collegedale?
Pricing depends on system type, capacity, and efficiency rating, but most residential replacements in Collegedale fall between $5,500 and $12,000, including labor, permits, a new thermostat, and basic duct modifications. High-efficiency variable-speed or inverter systems can cost more upfront but save 20-40 % on annual cooling bills. We provide free in-home quotes, financing options, and utility rebate guidance to make budgeting easier.
How long does it take to install a new AC system?
For a straightforward replacement of an existing central air conditioner, our team can typically complete the job in one day (about 6–8 hours). Projects that involve ductwork repairs, zoning upgrades, or relocating the condenser can extend the timeline to two days. Ductless mini-split installations usually require half a day per indoor head. Before leaving, we pressure-test the refrigerant circuit, evacuate to 500 microns, and perform a full start-up checklist to verify safe, efficient operation.
Do I need a permit for air conditioning replacement in Collegedale?
Yes. Hamilton County and the City of Collegedale require mechanical permits for new installs or significant replacements. As a licensed TN Mechanical Contractor, we handle all permitting and schedule the final inspection. Proper permitting protects your manufacturer warranty and ensures the installation meets local code requirements, including updated refrigerant handling and electrical safety standards.
How often should my new AC be serviced, and what does maintenance include?
We recommend professional maintenance twice a year—spring for cooling and fall for heating if you have a heat-pump system. Each visit includes coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure checks, electrical testing, condensate drain flush, blower calibration, filter replacement, and a written performance report. Regular maintenance maintains efficiency, reduces breakdowns, and is required by most manufacturers to keep the 10-year parts warranty valid.
What warranties and guarantees come with your air conditioner installations?
All systems we install carry a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty (registration required) and up to a 12-year compressor warranty on select models. Advanced Installations backs this with a one-year labor warranty and our "Right-Size, Right-Temp" satisfaction guarantee—if the system fails to achieve the design temperature within the first year, we will make all necessary adjustments at no cost. Extended labor protection plans of 5–10 years are also available for additional peace of mind.
