      AC Installation

      A Better AC Installation Experience, From Start to Finish.

      Choosing to install a new air conditioner is a big decision. It’s one of the most important investments you’ll make in your home’s comfort. You want to know you’re not only getting a great, high-efficiency AC unit but also that the team installing it is trustworthy, skilled, and respectful of your property. The quality of the installation is just as important as the quality of the AC itself.

      At Chambers Services, we couldn’t agree more. We’ve been providing professional AC installation for homeowners in Peoria, Bloomington-Normal, and across Central Illinois for years. Our goal is to make the entire process, from your first call to the final walkthrough, as smooth and stress-free as possible, ensuring you get a cooling system you’ll be happy with for a long, long time.

      Our Step-by-Step AC Installation Process

      We believe in transparency. Here’s a detailed look at what you can expect when you partner with Chambers Services for your new central AC installation.

      1. The In-Home Consultation: It all starts with understanding what you need. An experienced technician will visit your home to discuss your cooling needs, evaluate your current system and ductwork, and answer your initial questions.
      2. Finding the Perfect Fit (Sizing): This is a crucial step. We perform a professional load calculation to determine the precise size and capacity of the air conditioner your home needs. An improperly sized unit—whether too big or too small—will waste energy and fail sooner. We get it right.
      3. System Options & A Clear Quote: Based on the load calculation and your budget, we’ll recommend the best AC replacement options for you. We’ll explain the benefits of different models and what SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings mean for your energy bills. You’ll receive a free, detailed estimate with the full AC installation cost upfront.
      4. The Day of Installation: Our AC installers are professionals who respect your home. We lay down protective coverings to keep things clean and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day. We will then safely disconnect and haul away your old AC unit for proper disposal.
      5. Expert Connection & Setup: This is where our skill shines. We expertly position your new condenser unit and indoor coil, connecting them to the refrigerant lines, electrical systems, and ductwork, ensuring every connection is secure, sealed, and up to code.
      6. Final Commissioning & Walkthrough: Before we consider the job done, we test everything. We charge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant, check for leaks, and run the AC through a full cycle to ensure it’s delivering powerful, efficient cooling. We’ll then show you how to use your new thermostat and answer any questions you have.

      Benefits of a New Air Conditioner Installation

      Upgrading your cooling system is more than just replacing an old machine. A new, high-efficiency AC unit provides immediate and long-term benefits.

      • Drastically Lower Energy Bills: Modern air conditioners are significantly more energy-efficient. Investing in a new unit with a high SEER rating can lead to substantial long-term savings on your monthly electricity bills.
      • Powerful, Consistent Cooling: Stop putting up with rooms that are too hot or a system that can’t keep up on the most humid days. A new, properly sized AC provides consistent, powerful cooling to every corner of your home.
      • Improved Dehumidification: A new system does a much better job of pulling sticky, uncomfortable humidity out of the air, creating a more pleasant indoor environment.
      • Reliability and Peace of Mind: There’s no substitute for the peace of mind that comes with a brand-new, reliable cooling system covered by a strong manufacturer’s warranty. No more worrying if your old AC will survive the next heatwave.

      Frequently Asked Questions About AC Installation

      How long does a typical AC installation take?

      A standard central air conditioner replacement can usually be completed in one full day, often within 4 to 8 hours. If significant ductwork changes are needed, it could take longer.

      What is a SEER rating?

      SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. Think of it like the “miles per gallon” rating for your car; it measures how much cooling your AC produces for the amount of energy it consumes over a typical cooling season. The U.S. Department of Energy sets minimum SEER ratings that vary by region. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy-efficient the unit is, which can lead to significant savings on your electricity bills over the life of the system.

      How do I know what size air conditioner my home needs?

      Proper sizing is critical and can only be determined by a professional “load calculation.” This calculation considers factors like your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window types, and local climate. A system that’s too big is just as bad as one that’s too small.
