Most AC problems we see in Halden aren't equipment failures. They're sizing problems: a unit too big for the house cools fast, shuts off before it removes humidity, and leaves the air clammy. We run a load calculation for every install and size to it.
The outdoor unit, indoor coil and furnace blower need to be matched. We check that your furnace can move the air the new AC needs, and if it can't, we'll tell you before you buy, not after.
Installation includes a new pad, disconnect, refrigerant lines where needed, the permit and the city inspection. We charge the system by weight and verify it by measuring superheat or subcooling, not by guessing.
Signs you need this
- Your AC is over 15 years old or uses R-22 refrigerant
- Upstairs stays 6°F or more warmer than downstairs
- The house feels damp even when the AC is running
- You're replacing your furnace and want to match the system

Common questions
Do I need a new furnace too?
Not always. If your furnace blower is variable-speed and in good shape, we can match a new AC to it. If the furnace is 15+ years old, replacing both together saves on labor.
Should I get a heat pump instead of AC?
Worth considering. A heat pump costs about $1,500–$3,000 more than an AC, cools the same, and can handle most of your heating in spring and fall.
How loud is the outdoor unit?
Current single-stage units run about 72–76 decibels, variable-speed units as low as 56. We'll show you the rating for each option.
