Our Installation Process
Every installation follows a structured process to ensure quality results:
| Step 1: Free Estimate | We visit your home or business to assess your needs, measure your space, and review existing equipment and ductwork. |
| Step 2: Load Calculation | We perform a Manual J load calculation to properly size your new system. Oversized and undersized systems both cause problems. |
| Step 3: Equipment Selection | We present equipment options at different efficiency and price points, explaining the long-term cost and comfort implications of each. |
| Step 4: Scheduling | We schedule your installation at a time convenient for you. Most residential installations are completed in one day. |
| Step 5: Old Equipment Removal | We safely disconnect and remove your old equipment and dispose of it properly, including refrigerant recovery. |
| Step 6: Installation | We install your new equipment following manufacturer specifications and all applicable codes. |
| Step 7: Startup & Testing | We start up the system, verify all operating parameters, and test for proper performance. |
| Step 8: Homeowner Orientation | We explain how to operate your new system, set up your thermostat, and provide maintenance recommendations. |
| Step 9: Permit & Inspection | We file required permits and coordinate any required inspections with local authorities. |
Understanding Efficiency Ratings
SEER — Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (Air Conditioners & Heat Pumps)
SEER measures cooling efficiency. Higher SEER = lower operating costs. The minimum federal standard is 14 SEER. We recommend 16-18 SEER for most Wisconsin homes. High-efficiency systems reach 20-21+ SEER.
AFUE — Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (Furnaces)
AFUE measures how efficiently a furnace converts fuel to heat. An 80% AFUE furnace converts 80% of fuel to heat; 20% is lost through the flue. A 96% AFUE furnace loses only 4%. The minimum federal standard is 80% AFUE.
HSPF — Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (Heat Pumps)
HSPF measures heat pump heating efficiency. Higher HSPF = more efficient heating. Current minimum is 8.2 HSPF. High-efficiency heat pumps reach 10-13 HSPF.
