The AC Installation Process — What to Expect

1. Free in-home estimate — We calculate the correct system size using Manual J load calculation, not guesswork. Oversized systems short-cycle and wear out faster; undersized systems can’t keep up with Boca Raton’s heat.
2. Equipment selection — We recommend the right system for your home’s size, layout, and budget. We install Ruud, Rheem, and other major brands.
3. Permit pulled — Prime Air pulls all required permits. Never hire a contractor who skips permits — it creates liability and affects resale value.
4. Installation day — Our team arrives on time, protects your floors and walls, completes the installation, and thoroughly tests the system before leaving.
5. System walkthrough — We walk you through thermostat settings, maintenance schedule, and warranty registration before we leave.
