Most homes in Center Point were built during the 1960s. If yours is among them, there’s a reasonable chance the cooling system running inside it is already past its expected service life.

What Our AC Installation Process Covers

A properly installed system starts with proper sizing. Our technicians perform detailed load calculations before any equipment goes in, matching cooling capacity to your home’s actual square footage, insulation, window exposure, and layout. An oversized unit short-cycles and leaves rooms humid; an undersized one runs constantly without reaching your setpoint. Load calculations eliminate that guesswork.

Every AC installation includes ductwork inspection, electrical connections, and comprehensive system testing before we leave your home. Alabama requires HVAC contractors to hold a license through the Alabama Board of Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractors, and technicians handling refrigerants must carry EPA Section 608 Technician Certification. Our team meets both requirements. Throughout the job, technicians wear protective shoe coverings and use drop cloths to protect your floors and furnishings.

The Service Experts Guarantee & Membership Programs

The Service Experts Guarantee backs every installation we complete. It requires that equipment is set up with care and precision exactly as the manufacturer intended, giving you a clear accountability standard from day one rather than a verbal assurance that’s hard to enforce later.

ACE certification means our technicians meet a nationally recognized standard for HVAC knowledge and competency, a credential that goes beyond the state licensing requirement.

Beneficial memberships make upgrading more accessible:

Service Experts Advantage Program: No money down, brand-new high-efficiency equipment with installation, regular preventive maintenance, all repairs covering parts and labor, and air filters included.
Maintenance+ Membership: Regular maintenance visits, exclusive repair discounts, and priority scheduling to protect your investment after installation.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your AC System

Repairs and maintenance can extend a system’s life, but at some point replacement becomes the more practical choice. Because most homes in Center Point date from the 1960s, many households are already running systems well past the 10-to-15-year useful life typical of residential AC equipment. Knowing what to look for helps you make a confident decision rather than waiting for a complete failure.

Common signs that replacement may be the right move:

Rising energy bills: When costs increase without a change in usage habits, it often signals declining system efficiency caused by years of wear.
Frequent or expensive repairs: When repair costs start approaching the value of a replacement, the economics shift quickly.
Uneven cooling: Rooms that won’t reach the thermostat setpoint or vary significantly in temperature suggest the unit is losing capacity.
System age: Units older than 15 years are candidates for replacement even when they appear to be functioning.
Unusual noises, excess indoor humidity, or reduced airflow: Each can indicate a system in decline that maintenance alone won’t fully resolve.

What to Expect During AC Replacement

Most AC installations can be completed in a single day, depending on system complexity and ductwork condition. The process begins with a load calculation to confirm the right system size for your home. From there, the old unit is removed and the new system goes in, including ductwork inspection, electrical connections, and comprehensive system testing.

Ductwork problems such as leaks or airflow restrictions are often uncovered during installation. Addressing them at the same time supports the new system’s efficiency and long-term performance. To help things go smoothly, clear access to your indoor unit, thermostat, and electrical panel before the crew arrives. Our technicians handle the rest, using protective shoe coverings and drop cloths throughout to keep your home clean.
