AC Installation & Replacement

A new air conditioner can cut your energy bills and keep your home cool and dry through our long Carolina summers. Penguin Air & Plumbing installs and replaces central air conditioners and heat pumps for homes across Charlotte and Union County, sized right and installed to last.

Signs It Is Time to Replace Your AC

• Your air conditioner is 10 to 15 years old or more
• Frequent repairs or repeat refrigerant leaks
• Your system uses R-22 refrigerant
• Rising electric bills
• Rooms that never cool down or high humidity
• Loud or struggling outdoor unit

Choosing the Right New AC

We size your new system with a proper load calculation for your home instead of just matching the old unit. We will go over options like higher-efficiency SEER2 systems, two-stage and variable-speed units for better humidity control, and whether a heat pump makes sense for your home.

You get a clear written price with options for different budgets, and we can help you look at financing.

What Your AC Installation Includes

• Removal and haul-away of your old equipment
• New outdoor condenser and matched indoor coil
• New refrigerant lines or line flush as needed
• Electrical, drain and pad work
• New thermostat setup
• Permits and inspections where required
• Full startup, performance check and walkthrough

Common Questions

How long does an AC replacement take?

Most replacements are done in one day.

Should I replace my furnace at the same time?

If your furnace is also older, replacing both together can save on labor and gives you a matched system. If it is in good shape, we will tell you.
