A clear, step-by-step approach to every hvac installation project we take on.
We survey your property, assess your existing HVAC infrastructure, and perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the correct system size. We evaluate ductwork condition, electrical capacity, and equipment location options.
Our Harrison team presents two to three system options matched to your load calculation. We compare SEER2 and AFUE ratings, explain the differences between single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed equipment, and factor in available manufacturer rebates, utility incentives, and federal tax credits for Harrison homeowners.
KIC Refrigeration installs HVAC systems in Harrison, NY to the highest standards. We set equipment on level, vibration-isolated mounting, braze all refrigerant connections with nitrogen flowing, pressure test with dry nitrogen, evacuate to below 500 microns, charge by weight, seal all duct connections with mastic, and verify gas piping sizing and connections.
We start the new system, verify operation in all modes, measure airflow, check refrigerant charge, program the thermostat, register the warranty, and provide you with all documentation including equipment manuals, warranty cards, and commissioning readings.
Common questions about hvac installation costs, timelines, and what to expect.
Yes, substantially. Replacing a 10 SEER air conditioner with a 16 SEER2 unit reduces cooling energy consumption by approximately 38 percent. Upgrading from an 80 AFUE furnace to a 96 AFUE condensing furnace saves 16 cents of every heating dollar — the old furnace sends 20 cents up the flue while the new one captures it. Combined with proper installation practices — correct refrigerant charge verified by superheat and subcooling, proper static pressure and airflow at 400 CFM per ton, sealed duct connections, and a programmable thermostat — a new system typically saves Harrison homeowners $600 to $1,800 per year depending on home size, usage patterns, and local energy rates.
Correct HVAC system sizing is determined by a Manual J residential load calculation — the ACCA industry standard — that accounts for your home square footage, ceiling height, insulation R-values, window area and U-factor, air infiltration rate, duct losses, occupancy, and the local NY winter and summer design temperatures. As a rough reference, a well-insulated 2,000-square-foot home in Harrison typically needs a 2.5 to 3.5 ton system, while a poorly insulated home of the same size may need 4 tons. KIC Refrigeration never estimates by rule of thumb — we run a proper calculation for your specific Harrison home to avoid oversizing, which causes short cycling, high humidity, and premature compressor wear.
A standard furnace and AC replacement in Harrison takes 1 to 2 days when existing ductwork, gas piping, and electrical service are adequate and the new equipment fits in the same location. A complete system replacement that includes ductwork modifications, new trunk lines, equipment relocation from basement to attic or vice versa, electrical panel upgrades, or zoning system installation may take 3 to 5 days. Multi-zone mini-split installations with 3 to 5 indoor heads typically take 2 to 3 days. KIC Refrigeration provides a clear timeline in every proposal, coordinates scheduling around your Harrison home availability, and keeps you informed on progress every step of the way.
Yes. KIC Refrigeration pulls all required mechanical, electrical, and gas permits for every HVAC installation in Harrison, NY. We prepare the permit application with equipment specifications and installation plans, pay the permit fee, schedule the inspection with the local building department, meet the inspector on-site, and ensure the installation passes all applicable mechanical code requirements. A building permit is not optional — it is required by law in most Harrison jurisdictions, and an unpermitted installation can void the manufacturer equipment warranty, create title problems when selling the home, and may not be covered by homeowner insurance if an HVAC failure causes property damage. KIC Refrigeration includes permitting in every installation project.
