Professional Air Conditioning Installation Services

Opening up the shop over 40 years ago, S&S Mechanical started as a small operation and quickly grew through referrals from happy customers eager to tell their friends and family about their experiences. Today, we continue that tradition of excellence by providing meticulous installation services that maximize your system’s lifespan and minimize future repair needs. Every installation begins with a thorough assessment of your property’s cooling requirements, ensuring we recommend equipment that perfectly matches your space and budget.

Comprehensive Load Calculations and System Sizing

Proper air conditioning installation starts long before any equipment arrives at your property. We perform detailed Manual J load calculations to determine the exact cooling capacity your space requires. This scientific approach considers factors such as ceiling height, exterior wall exposure, window efficiency ratings, and typical occupancy patterns. Industry statistics show that approximately 70% of residential air conditioning systems are improperly sized, leading to shortened equipment life, increased energy consumption, and inadequate humidity control.

Our experienced technicians analyze heat gain from various sources including solar radiation through windows, heat transfer through walls and ceilings, and internal heat generation from appliances and occupants. This comprehensive analysis ensures your new air conditioning system operates at peak efficiency while maintaining consistent comfort levels throughout your property. We also evaluate your existing ductwork system, checking for proper sizing, insulation levels, and potential air leakage points that could compromise system performance.

Modern Equipment Options and Energy Efficiency Standards

The air conditioning industry has evolved significantly with advancements in refrigerant technology, variable-speed compressors, and smart thermostat integration. We install high-efficiency systems ranging from 14 SEER basic models to ultra-efficient 26 SEER variable-capacity units. Current Department of Energy regulations require minimum efficiency ratings of 14 SEER in northern states and 15 SEER in southern regions, though many homeowners in St. George, Washington, Santa Clara, Ivins, Hurricane, Cedar City, and La Verkin, UT choose higher-efficiency models to maximize long-term energy savings.

Variable-speed technology represents a major advancement in comfort control and efficiency. These systems adjust cooling output in small increments, maintaining more consistent temperatures while using less energy than traditional single-stage units. Smart thermostats with Wi-Fi connectivity allow remote temperature adjustments and provide detailed energy usage reports, helping homeowners optimize their cooling schedules and reduce utility costs.

Installation Process and Quality Assurance

Our installation process follows strict industry standards and manufacturer specifications to ensure optimal performance and warranty compliance. We begin by carefully removing old equipment and properly recovering refrigerant according to EPA regulations. The new outdoor condensing unit placement considers factors including:

• Adequate clearance for proper airflow and future maintenance access
• Level mounting surface to prevent compressor damage and reduce operational noise
• Proximity to electrical panel for efficient circuit installation
• Distance from bedroom windows to minimize noise disturbance
• Protection from direct sunlight when possible to improve efficiency

Indoor evaporator coil installation requires precise attention to refrigerant line connections, condensate drainage, and electrical wiring. We install new refrigerant lines when necessary, ensuring proper insulation and protection from physical damage. Our technicians verify correct refrigerant charge using both subcooling and superheat measurements, critical factors that directly impact system efficiency and longevity.

Post-Installation Testing and Customer Education

Following installation, we conduct comprehensive system testing including airflow measurements at each register, temperature differential checks across the evaporator coil, and verification of all safety controls. Our normal business hours are Monday through Friday 7am – 6pm, but we are also available on-call for emergencies should any concerns arise after installation.

We provide detailed instruction on system operation, maintenance requirements, and warranty coverage. Regular filter changes, annual professional maintenance, and prompt attention to unusual sounds or performance changes help protect your investment. Our Trust Certification guarantee ensures you receive service from technicians who have passed background checks, drug testing, and rigorous technical examinations. This certification process, taking between four and twelve months to complete, demonstrates our commitment to excellence in every aspect of air conditioning installation and service.
