Lower Your Energy Bills
Maximize Your Home's Energy Efficiency
One of the most significant advantages of installing a new air conditioning system is the drastic improvement in energy efficiency. Today’s A/C units are designed with advanced technology that allows them to cool your home more effectively while consuming far less energy than models from just a decade ago. This means you can enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home without the shock of sky-high utility bills during the summer.
Upgrading to a high-efficiency model, such as one with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating, can reduce your home’s cooling costs by a substantial amount.
Breathe Cleaner, Fresher Air
Improve Your Indoor Air Quality
Your home’s HVAC system does more than just control the temperature; it plays a crucial role in the quality of the air you breathe. Older air conditioners can struggle to filter airborne contaminants and may even harbor dust, mold, and allergens within their components. A new A/C installation can significantly improve your home’s indoor air quality.
Modern air conditioning systems are equipped with advanced filtration technology designed to capture and remove dust, pollen, pet dander, and other microscopic particles from the air. This creates a healthier living environment, which is especially beneficial for family members with allergies or respiratory conditions like asthma. Newer units also provide better humidity control, preventing the growth of mold and mildew.
By circulating cleaner, filtered air, your new system helps reduce common household odors and creates a fresher, more pleasant atmosphere. When you choose Burns & McBride for your A/C installation, you’re not just investing in comfort—you’re investing in the health and well-being of your family.

Answers To Your Questions
A/C Installation FAQs
If you have any other questions, our knowledgeable team is always here to help.
How do I know if I need a new A/C unit?
Common signs include frequent and costly repairs, a system that is over 10-15 years old, rising energy bills, and inconsistent cooling throughout your home. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s a good time for a professional evaluation.
How long does an A/C installation take?
A standard central air conditioner installation typically takes a full day, usually between 4 to 8 hours. However, the exact timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the job and whether new ductwork is needed.
What is a SEER rating?
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It measures an air conditioner’s cooling output divided by the energy it consumes. A higher SEER rating means greater energy efficiency and lower operating costs.
What size A/C unit do I need for my home?
The correct size depends on several factors, including your home’s square footage, layout, insulation, and window placement. Our technicians perform a detailed load calculation to ensure your new system is perfectly sized for optimal performance and efficiency.
Do you offer any warranties on new installations?
Yes, all of our new air conditioning installations come with a manufacturer’s warranty for parts and our own labor warranty. We ensure you have complete peace of mind with your new system.
