What a proper AC install actually gets you

The difference between a $9,000 install that lasts 15 years and one that needs repairs in year 3 comes down to how it was installed.

Lower Energy Bills

High-efficiency systems properly sized to your home cut cooling costs meaningfully.

Better Home Comfort

Proper sizing means even cooling, no hot spots, no cold corners, no humidity issues.

Fewer Breakdowns

Expert installation prevents the issues that cause early compressor failure and refrigerant leaks.

Strongest Warranties

5-year labour warranty from Walker + up to 10-year manufacturer warranty on the unit itself.

Three system types - which is right for your home?

We install central air, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits. Here's how to decide.

Central AC

Best for: Whole-home cooling, existing ductwork

  • Most common system for Southern Utah homes
  • High-efficiency SEER options available
  • Uses existing ductwork
  • Reliable, well-understood technology
  • 5-yr labour + up to 10-yr manufacturer warranty

Ductless Mini-Split

Why install quality matters more than install price

A $500 cheaper install that cuts corners will cost you $3,000 in repairs within 5 years. Here's the real difference.

Cheap Installs

  • No proper load calculation - wrong-sized system
  • Rushed install - corners cut on duct connections
  • Poor line set work causing refrigerant leaks
  • Skipped permits and inspections
  • No warranty registration - you lose manufacturer coverage

Walker Installs

  • Proper Manual J load calculation
  • Quality install · tested before we leave
  • Proper brazing and line set work
  • Permits pulled, inspections scheduled
  • Warranty registered · 5-yr labour + up to 10-yr manufacturer

What a new AC actually costs

Prices vary by system size, efficiency, and home layout. Here's what drives the cost.

What drives the cost

  • System size (tonnage) - based on proper load calculation, not guesswork
  • Efficiency rating (SEER) - higher efficiency = higher upfront, lower energy bills
  • Ductwork condition - repairs or modifications if existing ducts aren't up to the job
  • Electrical upgrades - some installs require breaker or disconnect upgrades
  • R-22 refrigerant status - AC units older than ~12 years use R-22 which is phased out. A new high-efficiency system uses modern refrigerant and often pays for itself in 3-5 years through lower bills
  • Permits and disposal - we handle both, factored into quote

Current AC failed? We can often install same-day.

In peak summer, waiting a week for AC replacement isn't an option. Our trucks carry common sizes and we partner with suppliers for faster access to specific units. Call our 24/7 line and we'll confirm timing.

Luke the tech was great. Penny in the office was also great. I'll be having them back in the spring to check the A/C.

BradCustomer review · St. George
★★★★★
I called and got a callback within 5 minutes. They walked me through how to turn off the water and arranged for a plumber to come the next morning at 8 a.m. He arrived promptly, went over my options, and the whole process took about 3 hours. I'd definitely use them again.

AC installation - FAQs

The questions homeowners ask before choosing an installer.

How long does installation take?
Most central AC installs are completed in a single day (4–8 hours). Heat pumps and ductless mini-splits can take a day or two depending on complexity. We tell you the expected timing in your written quote.
What size AC do I need?
Sizing is based on a proper Manual J load calculation - not rules of thumb. Factors include home size, insulation, window orientation, number of people, and climate. Walker does a proper load calc on every estimate, not a guess.
How much does a new AC cost?
Depends on size, efficiency rating, system type, and any ductwork/electrical upgrades needed. Free in-home estimates give you a transparent written quote - no guessing, no surprises.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We partner with financing providers so you can spread the cost over monthly payments. Ask about options during your free in-home estimate.
What's the difference between central AC, heat pump, and mini-split?
Central AC cools only (you still need a furnace for heat). Heat pumps cool AND heat - they can replace both units. Mini-splits are ductless, ideal for additions, ADUs, or homes without existing ducts. A Walker tech will help you decide based on your home.
Will you handle permits?
Yes. Where permits are required, we pull them and coordinate inspections. It's included in your quote.
What warranty comes with the install?
5-year labour warranty from Walker. Up to 10-year manufacturer warranty on the unit (depending on make and model). We register the manufacturer warranty for you.
Can you install if my current system has failed?
In most cases, yes - often same-day. Our trucks carry common sizes. Call our 24/7 line and we'll confirm timing before dispatching.
My old AC uses R-22 - do I have to replace it?
Not immediately, but R-22 is phased out by the EPA. Getting it topped up each summer is getting expensive and harder to source. Most Southern Utah homeowners on R-22 systems find it more economical to replace when the first major repair comes up, rather than keep topping up an aging unit. A free in-home estimate will tell you the real numbers for your specific system.
