Plan central air conditioning for your home.
RJ Sam’s works on the air conditioning already in your home, across brands. We assess the equipment and explain compatible repair, care or replacement options.
Start with your home
What does the new installation need?
Plan the new heating or cooling arrangement, including any distribution, power, fuel, drainage or access that does not already exist. Review the home before choosing equipment.
Explore equipment optionsIf an existing system has stopped working, a repair assessment can help establish the options.
Compare the repair option- Cooling needs
- Review the rooms, windows, insulation, sun exposure and where comfort falls short.
- Ducts and airflow
- Assess existing ducts; where there are no suitable ducts, compare adding them with ductless equipment.
- Cooling only or heat pump
- Compare cooling-only equipment with a compatible heat pump that can also supply heat.
Before you agree
What should the proposal include?
Compare the full installed work, what stays, what changes and what is excluded. Review the proposed price and actual equipment and labor terms before approving the project.
Written-scope guideFree written HVAC installation/replacement estimate
Review a written proposal based on the home’s heating/cooling needs, existing equipment and supporting installation work.
Compare the sizing basis, retained components, price, exclusions and startup/handover. Confirm removal, permit and coverage responsibilities for the actual project.
- Indoor and outdoor match
- We’ll specify the coil or air handler and how it fits heating equipment that stays.
- Connections and drainage
- Include refrigerant piping, electrical supply, condensate drainage and controls.
- Capacity and distribution
- Explain sizing and any ductwork needed to address hot rooms or weak airflow.
- Complete installed work
- Include removal, access, applicable permits, startup and actual warranty terms.
What affects the installation price?
The matched indoor coil, blower airflow, electrical connections, refrigerant piping and condensate drainage affect installation. Compare the work around the outdoor unit as well as its capacity and efficiency.

Before you decide
Planning questions
Review the common questions and use the project scope planner to prepare questions about the equipment and work involved. Your home will need an assessment before a quote is prepared.
What should a new central AC assessment decide?
The assessment should establish a cooling-load basis, how air reaches the rooms and where indoor/outdoor equipment and drainage fit. If suitable ducts do not exist, compare adding them with ductless options. The written proposal should explain these supporting changes and the complete price.
Can the existing indoor coil stay?
Only if its condition and compatibility support the proposed outdoor equipment. The replacement scope should explain the match and any components that need changing.
Can you add central air to a home without ducts?
Compare the work involved in adding suitable ducts with a ductless installation. The rooms and available routes guide the choice.
How long will the work take?
Timing depends on the agreed scope, equipment, access and supporting work. Confirm the schedule, expected heating, cooling or hot-water interruption and preparation for your project before work is arranged.
