AC Installation
Expert air conditioner installation for your home or business. We help you choose the right system.
AC Installation in Southern Utah
Southern Utah's summer heat is relentless — St. George regularly hits 110°F, and even Cedar City sees weeks above 95°F. A properly sized, efficiently installed air conditioning system isn't a luxury here, it's a necessity. Crofts Heating and Air installs central air conditioners, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits for homes and businesses across the region. We handle everything from sizing calculations to final commissioning.
Choosing the Right AC System
The most important decision in AC installation is sizing. An undersized unit runs constantly, never reaches the set temperature, and wears out prematurely. An oversized unit short-cycles — turning on and off every few minutes — which wastes energy, fails to dehumidify, and creates uncomfortable temperature swings. We perform a Manual J load calculation for every installation, accounting for your home's square footage, ceiling height, insulation, window area, sun exposure, and ductwork condition. For Southern Utah's hot-dry climate, this calculation is especially critical because our cooling loads are higher than national averages.
What AC Installation Costs
A central air conditioning replacement in Southern Utah typically costs $4,500–$9,000 for a standard residential system, including the outdoor condenser, indoor evaporator coil, refrigerant lines, thermostat, and labor. High-efficiency systems (17+ SEER) run $7,000–$12,000+. Ductless mini-split installations range from $2,500–$5,000 for a single-zone system to $8,000–$15,000 for multi-zone whole-home coverage. New ductwork, if needed, adds $2,000–$5,000 depending on the home's layout.
The Installation Process
A standard AC replacement takes one day — we remove the old equipment, install the new outdoor unit and indoor components, connect refrigerant lines, run electrical, set up the thermostat, and commission the system. New installations in homes without existing ductwork take 2–3 days. We protect your floors and walls during installation and clean up completely when we're done. Every installation includes a startup test where we verify airflow, refrigerant charge, and temperature differential across the evaporator to ensure the system is performing to manufacturer specifications.
