  • High $9,500

How Michael & Son determines your estimate

  • We conduct a load calculation. Before we recommend an AC unit for your Alexandria home, our techs will perform a load calculation to determine the correct size of AC your home will need. Load calculations measure home size, insulation values, and the number of doors and windows, among other factors.
  • We listen to the homeowner's wants and needs. Some Alexandria homeowners don't mind paying a bit more for more energy efficiency, while others are more concerned with budget. And others still want all the bells and whistles (new thermostats, air purifiers, and other add-ons). We'll make sure you're getting exactly what you want before any work is done.
  • We consider parts and labor warranties. Extended parts and labor warranties protect homeowners from paying out of pocket for repairs down the road. Keep in mind, adding extended warranties also adds to the price estimate.

Process

Your AC installation in 5 quick steps

  1. Schedule your free estimate

    Give us a call at 703-289-0565 or schedule an appointment online. One of our friendly customer service reps will work with your schedule to find an appointment time with one of our experienced comfort engineers.

  2. Meet your comfort engineer

    The day before your comfort engineer is scheduled to arrive, you'll receive an email with their photo, bio, relevant trade licenses, and some fun background information. We do this for all of our Alexandria homeowners because it's important to us that you feel comfortable about who will be working inside your home.

  3. Find the right AC for your home

    First, our comfort engineer will determine the ideal AC size for your home by conducting a load calculation. Next, they'll work with your budget and your goals to identify the perfect cooling system. We'll always give you good, better, and best options for your air conditioner installation and will never try to sell you a system that you don't feel is the perfect fit.

  4. Get your AC installed

    After reviewing your options, you'll receive an estimate for your installation. Once you approve the estimate, we'll send a team of NATE-certified technicians to your Alexandria home within 3-5 days to install your new AC system. These technicians will protect your home like it's their own. Shoe covers are worn at all times and drop cloths are placed down to protect your floor.

  5. Let us know how we did

    Whether the job was a huge success or there was something we could've done better, we want to know about it. One of the technicians on the job or your comfort engineer will be in touch with you to see how every aspect of the AC installation went. If you're not satisfied for any reason, we'll make it right.

FAQs

AC Install Frequently Asked Questions

  • Ask your contractor to conduct a manual J load calculation. This takes into account the size of your home, its insulation quality, the number of windows and doors, and your area's climate to estimate how much power your AC will need.

  • You should check your warranty's wording for confirmation, but most of the time, yes. You'll need proof of annual maintenance to be able to use the warranty.

  • SEER and SEER2 ratings are generally the same — they both measure how well your AC works. SEER2 ratings are used on newer machines and typically have slightly lower numbers than SEER ratings for the same efficiency.

  • Clear a path from where your installers will be entering to where they'll be working. Make sure the installation area is completely clear of debris, and try to trim any bushes or trees near where the AC will be. On the day of the installation, keep your pets in a secure, out-of-the-way spot.

  • We recommend having your AC installed by a licensed HVAC professional. The process can be complex, and whole-home AC units are very heavy. If you try to install yourself, you risk:

    • Installing the machine incorrectly
    • Injuring yourself or others
    • Damaging your home
    • Invalidating your warranty
