Comprehensive System Design. We don’t just show up with a unit and install it. We measure your home, evaluate your ductwork, assess your insulation, and calculate the correct system size in tons.

How It Works
Our AC Installation Process
Installing a new air conditioning system is a multi-stage process that involves careful planning, precise equipment selection, and expert installation. Here’s what you can expect when you work with TAP Heating and Cooling.
-
System Evaluation & Load Calculation
The installation process begins in your home, not in our shop. One of our certified technicians will visit to assess your cooling needs — measuring square footage, evaluating insulation, checking window orientation, and reviewing ductwork. Using specialized software, we calculate the correct cooling capacity in tons. An oversized system cools too fast and cycles frequently (wasting energy), while an undersized system runs constantly and never reaches your target. We get the math right.
-
Equipment Selection & Pricing
Next, we present equipment options at different price points and efficiency levels — from Climate Master equipment to premium Armstrong Air high-efficiency units. We explain SEER2 ratings (higher = more efficient = lower bills), warranty coverage, and features like variable-speed compressors. You’ll see the upfront cost, estimated operating cost, and long-term value of each option. No pressure.
-
Financing & Scheduling
Once you’ve selected your system, we present financing options through our Service Finance partner. You can pay in full, take advantage of promotional terms, or spread the cost over time. After financing is arranged, we schedule your installation at a time that works for you — typically within 1–2 weeks.
-
Site Preparation & Ductwork Assessment
The day before installation, we may conduct a brief ductwork inspection. If your existing ducts are leaky, blocked, or poorly insulated, we’ll let you know how this affects your new system’s performance. Some installations include ductwork sealing or adjustments to maximize efficiency. We explain what’s needed and give you the option to proceed.
-
Installation Day
Our crew arrives early and works efficiently to minimize disruption — typically 4–8 hours. We place the outdoor condenser on a level pad with proper clearance, install the indoor evaporator coil and run insulated refrigerant lines, set up and program your thermostat, complete all electrical work to code, and seal ductwork with mastic or foil tape, testing airflow to ensure efficiency.
-
Testing, Calibration & Handoff
Before we leave, we run comprehensive tests: refrigerant charge verification, airflow testing, thermostat accuracy check, and electrical safety inspection, plus a full cooling cycle. Then we walk you through the new system — how to use the thermostat, when to change filters (every 3 months), and what maintenance keeps it efficient. We provide the manual and warranty documents and answer your questions.
What Installation Day Includes
Inside a Professional Installation
Outdoor Unit Placement
The condenser unit is installed on a level, stable pad (usually concrete or composite material). We ensure proper clearance for airflow and future maintenance access.
Schedule InstallationIndoor Coil Installation
The evaporator coil goes inside your existing furnace or air handler. Refrigerant lines are run from indoor to outdoor units through your walls, with insulation and protection to prevent damage.
Schedule InstallationThermostat Setup
We install your new thermostat (if upgrading) and program it with your comfort preferences. Programmable and smart thermostat options let you adjust temperature by day/time or remotely.
Schedule InstallationElectrical & Gas Connections
All electrical work is completed to code, with proper breakers and disconnect switches. We test all connections for safety before powering up your new system.
Schedule InstallationDuctwork Sealing
Leaky ducts waste cool air before it reaches your rooms. We seal ductwork with mastic or foil tape and test airflow with our equipment to ensure your system is efficient.
Schedule InstallationFinal Testing & Walkthrough
We run a full cooling cycle, verify charge and airflow, then walk you through operation, filter changes, and maintenance — handing over your manual and warranty documents.
