We understand the urgency. On average, our skilled team ensures a swift and efficient installation, with a scheduled installation within 1 day and the job taking no more than 1 day.

3. What size air conditioner do I need?

Proper AC sizing depends on multiple factors beyond square footage: home size and layout, insulation quality and window efficiency, ceiling height, sun exposure and shade, number of occupants, and local climate conditions.

4. What SEER rating should I choose for my new AC?

SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures air conditioner efficiency. Higher ratings mean lower operating costs:

14-15 SEER2: Minimum efficiency, lowest upfront cost, standard comfort
16-17 SEER2: Good efficiency, moderate savings, improved humidity control
18-20+ SEER2: Premium efficiency, maximum savings, superior comfort features

In Round Rock’s hot climate, we typically recommend at least 16 SEER2 for optimal balance between installation cost and long-term energy savings. Higher-efficiency systems often qualify for utility rebates and tax credits.
