Comprehensive AC Installation for Every Need

We understand that every home in Greater Carrollwood has unique requirements. Our installation services are tailored to meet the specific demands of your property, ensuring a perfect fit for your comfort and budget.

New Construction AC Installation

Building a new home is a significant undertaking, and designing the HVAC system is a critical phase. We partner with homeowners and builders to design and install complete air conditioning systems from the ground up. Our process involves meticulous planning, from performing accurate load calculations based on blueprints to strategically designing and installing ductwork for balanced airflow throughout the new structure. Integrating the system during the construction phase ensures it is perfectly optimized for the home's layout, insulation, and window placement, leading to superior efficiency and comfort.

AC System Replacement and Upgrades

If your existing air conditioner is over a decade old, requires frequent and costly repairs, or struggles to keep your home cool, a system replacement is often the most cost-effective long-term solution. Modern air conditioners are significantly more energy-efficient than their predecessors. Upgrading to a new, high-efficiency system can drastically reduce your monthly cooling costs while providing more consistent and powerful cooling. We handle the entire replacement process, including the safe removal and disposal of your old unit and the expert installation of your new system.

The Foundation of a Great AC Installation: Sizing and Ductwork

Many factors contribute to a successful AC installation, but two of the most critical are proper system sizing and the integrity of your ductwork. Getting these elements right is the key to unlocking the full potential of your new air conditioner.

The Critical Importance of Proper AC Sizing

An air conditioner that is too large or too small for your home will never perform efficiently. This is why we never rely on guesswork. Our technicians perform a detailed load calculation, often referred to as a Manual J calculation, before recommending a system. This analysis considers numerous factors, including your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, window types and placement, air filtration needs, and local climate data.

  • An Oversized AC Unit: This is a common mistake that leads to "short-cycling." The unit cools the space too quickly and shuts off, then repeats the cycle frequently. This prevents it from running long enough to effectively dehumidify the air, leaving your home feeling cool but clammy. Short-cycling also causes excessive wear and tear on the compressor, leading to premature system failure.
  • An Undersized AC Unit: A unit that is too small will run constantly without ever reaching the desired temperature, especially during the peak of a Florida summer. This leads to high energy bills, uncomfortable indoor temperatures, and excessive strain on the system's components.

Our commitment to precise sizing ensures your new unit is perfectly matched to your home's specific cooling load, maximizing both comfort and energy efficiency.

Ductwork: The Unseen Hero of Home Comfort

Your ductwork is the circulatory system for your conditioned air. If it is poorly designed, leaky, or improperly sized, even the most advanced air conditioner cannot perform optimally. Leaks in the duct system, often hidden in attics or crawl spaces, can allow conditioned air to escape, wasting energy and money while reducing the airflow that reaches your rooms. During an AC replacement, we thoroughly inspect your existing ductwork. We identify and seal leaks, repair damaged sections, and recommend modifications if the current design is inadequate for your new system, ensuring maximum airflow and efficiency.

Our Meticulous AC Installation Process

We follow a structured, transparent process to ensure every installation is completed to the highest standards of quality and professionalism.

  1. Initial Consultation and Home Assessment: We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your cooling needs and budget. Our technicians conduct a thorough inspection of your home and existing HVAC infrastructure.
  2. System Sizing and Selection: Using the data from our assessment, we perform a detailed load calculation to determine the precise size and capacity your home requires. We then present you with a selection of high-quality systems from leading brands like Trane that match your needs.
  3. Professional Installation: Our certified technicians carry out the installation with meticulous attention to detail. This includes setting the new outdoor and indoor units, connecting refrigerant and electrical lines according to strict safety codes, and ensuring the condensate drain functions properly.
  4. Ductwork and Thermostat Integration: We connect the new system to your ductwork, making any necessary modifications to ensure optimal airflow. We will also install and configure your new thermostat, whether it is a simple digital model or an advanced smart thermostat.
  5. System Commissioning and Testing: Once the installation is complete, we don't just turn the system on and leave. We commission the system, which involves testing refrigerant pressure, checking electrical connections, measuring airflow, and verifying that every component is operating exactly as the manufacturer intended.
  6. Final Walkthrough: We conclude with a comprehensive walkthrough, showing you how to operate your new system and thermostat and answering any questions you may have about its features and maintenance.

Customer Reviews

We recently moved to Florida and needed major repairs to our church. After researching several companies, I went with Sunstate and I’m so thankful I did. Joe came out and provided us with the information necessary to make an informed decision and provided a reasonable estimate. We had a new unit installed, duct work repaired, and new thermostat installed. If you’re reading this review and wondering who to trust for your AC needs, please call Sunstate.

Great job replacing both the condensing unit and air-handler.  Moved the air-handler from the attic to the garage and re-designed and installed new duct work to accommodate the move.  Works great and no more worries about overflowing drain pan damaging the ceiling and wood floors.  Not to mention making it easier to maintain the AH unit.  The guys worked through the night to make sure the AC was back on before they left the job.   Thanks for a job well done.

Sunstate mechanical is truly the best contractors I have experienced since I moved into my house 30 years ago.  I have been dealing with Joe and his crew for over 11 years now. They are a trustworthy, respectful, experienced crew who works with you and gives you a fair value.  They just completed a big job replacing my A/C, gas furnance and condenser.  They did an excellent job, no short cuts, made sure everything was functional, and cleaned up the area nicely before they left.

Sunstate Mechanical are absolutely one of the best.  I have had two new units installed from them, and the work they did was spectacular.  The crew was prompt (even called ahead to confirm the appointment), incredibly professional, and they left the area around the air handler somehow cleaner than when they arrived.  I have had no issues with my units over the years because Sunstate Mechanical took the time to do it right the first time.
