Types of Air Conditioners We Install

We offer a variety of top-tier AC systems to help you find the best fit for your property’s cooling needs. Our experts are fully trained to install and replace all makes and models of air conditioners, including:

Central Split AC Systems

Central split systems remain the most popular cooling option thanks to their reliable performance and whole-home comfort. We can help you compare system sizes and efficiency ratings to find the best fit for your home.

High-Efficiency Air Conditioners

High-efficiency AC units use less electricity without compromising on comfort. Whether you’re looking to lower energy costs or replace an outdated unit, we can help you find a SEER2 rating that matches your energy goals.

Ductless Mini-Splits

Ductless AC systems are a great choice for additions, converted garages, and rooms that never seem to stay cool. They provide targeted cooling without the need for ductwork, making them a great choice for smaller homes where extending central HVAC is impractical.

High-Velocity Air Conditioners

High-velocity air conditioners work well for historic, multi-story, and architecturally unique homes. Unlike ducted systems or mini-splits, they use flexible mini-ducts that can be snaked through existing walls, floors, and ceilings without destroying original plaster or woodwork.

Rooftop Package AC Units

Rooftop AC units are commonly used in businesses, urban townhomes, and flat-roof modern homes. They combine heating and cooling components into a single outdoor cabinet for easy maintenance access and indoor space savings.

Precision AC Sizing Tailored to Your Home or Business

Choosing the right size air conditioner is key to avoiding frequent cycling, energy waste, and insufficient cooling. That's why we never rely on online sizing calculators or guesswork. Every installation begins with a Manual J load calculation that considers your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window placement, ceiling height, and sun exposure. The result is more consistent comfort, improved efficiency, and dependable performance throughout our long cooling season.

What Our AC Installation Includes

A new air conditioner is only as good as the installation behind it. Here’s what we cover on every replacement:

Customized load calculations. We evaluate square footage, insulation, and sun exposure to decide the correct tonnage.
SEER2 match. Higher efficiency costs more initially, but can save you money all summer. We match the SEER2 rating to your budget and power bill.
Clean removal and haul-away. We safely remove and haul away the old unit so you’re not left with a junked condenser.
New R-454B systems. We install new systems that run on the new R-454B refrigerant so you’re set up for the long haul.
Thermostat and control configuration. We install modern thermostats that are properly configured for your specific system.
Permits and code compliance. We pull the correct permits and install new units in strict accordance with local codes so your warranty stays valid.
Lifetime warranty. In addition to the manufacturer’s coverage, every AC installation is backed by our lifetime warranty.

Benefits of a New Air Conditioner

When an aging air conditioning system has reached the point where repairs are no longer delivering dependable results, investing in a new unit represents a meaningful upgrade that pays off immediately in performance, efficiency, and peace of mind. For homeowners in Mesa, where extreme summer heat makes a reliable cooling system non-negotiable for months at a time, the advantages of a modern air conditioner over an older, declining unit are both significant and immediately noticeable. At PlumbSmart Plumbing Heating and Air, we help homeowners understand the full range of benefits that come with a new AC installation:

Superior Cooling Capacity: Modern systems are engineered to cool homes more evenly and consistently, eliminating the hot spots and temperature imbalances that aging units frequently produce.
Dramatically Improved Energy Efficiency: Today's air conditioners operate at significantly higher efficiency ratings than older models, consuming considerably less electricity to deliver better results.
Lower Monthly Utility Costs: Enhanced efficiency translates into meaningful reductions in energy expenses throughout Mesa's lengthy and demanding cooling season.
Quieter Daily Operation: Newer systems run with substantially less noise than older units, contributing to a more comfortable and peaceful indoor environment.
Smart Technology Compatibility: Modern units integrate seamlessly with smart thermostats and home automation platforms, giving homeowners greater control over comfort and energy management.
Manufacturer Warranty Protection: New installations come backed by warranty coverage that provides financial security against unexpected repair costs during the coverage period.

A new air conditioner delivers immediate and lasting returns in comfort, efficiency, and reliability that an older system simply cannot match. The team at PlumbSmart Plumbing Heating and Air is committed to helping Mesa homeowners find and install the right cooling solution for their home's specific needs and the unique demands of the desert climate.

AC Installation & Replacement FAQs

Should I Replace or Repair My Air Conditioner?

AC repair makes sense if your unit is relatively new and the problem is minor. If your system is 10–15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or the cost of fixing it approaches about half the price of a new system, replacement usually offers better long-term value.

Our team will never push you toward a replacement if a repair is the more practical option. We can inspect your system, explain what's causing the problem, and provide transparent pricing for repair and replacement to help you make an informed decision.

How Long Does an AC Last?

Air conditioners run for much of the year in Arizona, so they generally have shorter lifespans than systems in cooler climates. Most units last around 10–15 years with regular upkeep. Usage, installation quality, and AC maintenance all play a role. Whether you’re replacing an aging unit or scheduling a seasonal tune-up, we handle it all.

How Long Does It Take to Install a New Air Conditioner?

A standard AC replacement typically takes 4–8 hours to complete. If the AC is being installed in a new home or requires modifications to existing ductwork or electrical systems, you could face longer wait times. We provide clear quotes and regular updates to keep you in the loop from start to finish.

Do You Offer Financing for New Air Conditioners?

Absolutely. We offer flexible financing options for new AC units starting at just $99 a month with 0% APR plans on qualifying installs. We can walk you through our available payment plans to help you find a solution that makes sense for your budget.

What AC Brands Do You Install?

As a Trane Comfort Specialist®, we install a lot of Trane® and Bosch® systems. However, we also work on whatever brand fits your home and budget, including Carrier®, Lennox®, Goodman®, Rheem®, Amana®, York®, American Standard®, and more.

What SEER2 Rating Do I Need in Arizona?

The SEER2 minimum in our region is 14.3. Upgrading to a higher rating may cost more upfront, but it can also reduce your utility bills in the long run. We can break down the anticipated operational costs and guide you toward an option that fits your needs.
