AC Installation & Replacement in Lafayette, LA
New high-efficiency systems sized by calculation, installed to code, and tuned for Gulf Coast humidity.
Sized for Your Home — Not the One Next Door
Oversized systems are the quiet epidemic of Acadiana cooling: they slam on, barely wring out the humidity, short-cycle themselves to an early grave, and leave the house clammy. We run a full Manual J load calculation on every install — square footage, insulation, window load, duct condition — so your new system runs long, efficient, dehumidifying cycles.
- Manual J load calculation on every job
- SEER2-compliant systems that meet current federal standards
- Condensers set level on new pads with proper clearances
- Refrigerant charge verified by subcool/superheat, not guesswork
- Old system hauled away; permit and code compliance handled
What Install Day Looks Like
Most Lafayette replacements are completed in a single day:
- Morning arrival, floor protection down, old system recovered and removed
- New condenser, coil, and line-set work — brazed with nitrogen purge for clean joints
- Deep vacuum below 500 microns before releasing refrigerant
- Full commissioning: airflow, static pressure, temperature split, and thermostat calibration
- Walkthrough with you — filter sizes, thermostat tips, and warranty registration
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does AC installation take in Lafayette?
A straight changeout — same location, sound ductwork — is usually done in one day. Jobs needing duct modifications, electrical upgrades, or line-set replacement can run into a second day; you’ll know the timeline before we start.
What SEER2 rating should I choose for South Louisiana?
Current federal minimums apply, but given our 6–7 month cooling season, stepping up a tier or two often pays back quickly on your LUS bill. We’ll model the savings for your actual home size and usage.
Can you install a system I already purchased?
We install and warranty equipment we supply so we can stand behind both the hardware and the labor. That protects you — one call covers any issue.
Do you haul away the old unit?
Yes — recovery of the old refrigerant, removal, and disposal are included in every installation quote.
