Our Installation Process
How We Install Your New Air Conditioning System
From the first measurement to the final walk-through, here’s exactly what to expect when 360 Comfort Solutions installs your new cooling system.
Step 1: Home Evaluation & System Sizing
Your installation begins with a comprehensive home visit. We measure your square footage, assess insulation quality, check for air leaks, evaluate existing ductwork, and discuss your comfort preferences and budget. Using industry-standard Manual J calculations, we determine your home’s actual cooling load in BTU — not a guess, but a science-based number — so we recommend the right-sized equipment.
- Measure square footage and layout
- Assess insulation, air sealing, and window orientation
- Evaluate existing ductwork for leaks and sizing
- Calculate cooling load using Manual J standards
- Discuss efficiency preferences and budget constraints
- Review equipment options from multiple manufacturers
Step 2: System Selection & Equipment Recommendations
We present equipment options matched to your home’s cooling load and your priorities — a traditional split-system central AC, a ductless mini-split, or a heat pump that handles both heating and cooling. We explain the SEER rating, warranty coverage, and energy cost difference between tiers. Our goal is transparency: you make the choice based on facts, not pressure.
- Present equipment tiers: budget, mid-range, premium efficiency
- Compare SEER ratings and projected energy costs
- Explain warranty terms and manufacturer incentives
- Discuss mini-split versus central AC trade-offs
- Review financing options to fit your budget
- Provide a detailed written estimate with all specifications
Step 3: Ductwork Inspection & Preparation
For central AC installations, ductwork condition directly impacts performance. We inspect ducts for leaks, crushed sections, and undersizing. If ducts need sealing or repair, we address that as part of the installation — there’s no point installing a high-efficiency system if your cooled air escapes into the attic. We test airflow before and after any repairs to confirm full cooling capacity reaches every room.
- Inspect existing ductwork for damage and air leaks
- Seal duct joints with mastic sealant or tape
- Test airflow and system static pressure
- Recommend replacement sections if ducts are unrepairable
- Ensure ductwork is properly sized for the new equipment
- Document baseline performance metrics
Step 4: Professional Installation & System Integration
Our crews handle equipment placement, refrigerant line routing, ductwork connections, and electrical integration. The outdoor condenser is set on a level pad, the indoor coil is mounted in your furnace cabinet or air handler, and insulated refrigerant lines connect them. For mini-splits, wall-mounted heads are positioned for optimal airflow. All connections are leak-tested, charged to the correct refrigerant amount, and verified for proper operation.
- Install outdoor condenser unit on a level, vibration-damped pad
- Mount indoor evaporator coil or air handler
- Run insulated refrigerant lines with proper slope and support
- Connect ductwork with secure, sealed joints (if applicable)
- Verify electrical connections and safety devices
- Perform pressure and leak testing on all refrigerant lines
Step 5: Testing, Programming & Handoff
Before we consider the job done, your new system undergoes full performance testing. We verify refrigerant charge with calibrated gauges, measure airflow across the coils, check electrical connections for safety, and run a complete cooling cycle. We program your thermostat, explain how to adjust it, and walk you through seasonal maintenance — then hand off complete documentation of your equipment and warranty.
- Charge system to manufacturer specifications
- Measure and verify airflow performance
- Test electrical connections and safety controls
- Program thermostat for comfort and efficiency
- Conduct final walk-through with homeowner
- Provide system documentation and warranty cards
- Review maintenance schedule and seasonal recommendations
