How much does AC installation cost in Union, NJ?

AC installation in Union typically costs $3,000-$7,000. A standard 3-ton central AC system averages $4,500 installed. Factors include home size, existing ductwork, and efficiency rating. High-efficiency units cost more upfront but save 20-40% on cooling bills.

What size AC do I need for my Union home?

Most Union homes need 2.5-4 ton AC systems. A typical 1,500 sq ft home needs 3 tons, while larger colonials in Connecticut Farms may need 4-5 tons. Proper sizing prevents short cycling and ensures efficiency. We provide free load calculations.

How long does AC installation take in Union?

Standard AC installation in Union takes 4-8 hours for replacement units with existing ductwork. New installations requiring ductwork take 2-3 days. We handle all Union Township permits and inspections, typically adding 1-2 days to the timeline.

When is the best time to install AC in Union?

Spring (March-May) is ideal for AC installation in Union. You'll beat the summer rush, have time to test the system, and often get better pricing. However, we install year-round and offer priority scheduling for emergency replacements.

What AC brands are best for Union's climate?

For Union's humid summers, we recommend Carrier, Trane, or Lennox for reliability. These brands handle our 90°F+ days and high humidity well. All offer models that qualify for PSE&G rebates up to $500 for high-efficiency units.
