Cool Air When You Need It Most

Professional air conditioning installation for homes in Katy, Texas.

When your system struggles through another summer in Katy, you notice the rooms that stay warm no matter how low you set the thermostat. You hear the compressor cycling on and off more often than it should, and the utility bills climb higher each month. Installing a properly sized air conditioning system gives your home the cooling capacity it needs without the inefficiency that comes from equipment that runs constantly or shuts down too soon.

Arktikos Ac and Heating performs full load calculations before recommending equipment, ensuring the system matches your square footage, insulation, and window exposure. The installation includes thermostat configuration, ductwork inspection, and testing to confirm airflow and refrigerant levels meet manufacturer specifications. Energy-efficient models designed for long Texas cooling seasons reduce runtime and lower monthly costs while maintaining consistent indoor temperatures.

If your current system breaks down frequently or your cooling bills continue rising, contact Arktikos Ac and Heating for a detailed estimate and performance assessment in Katy.

What Happens During a Full System Setup

Your installation begins with load calculations that account for ceiling height, window placement, and existing ductwork configuration. In Katy, where cooling demand spans most of the year, selecting the right tonnage prevents short cycling and keeps the system from overworking. The crew removes the old equipment, installs the new condenser and air handler, connects refrigerant lines, and integrates the thermostat with your new unit.

After the installation, you will notice rooms cool evenly without hot spots near windows or upstairs bedrooms. The system runs in longer, quieter cycles instead of turning on and off every few minutes. Airflow from the vents feels stronger and more balanced, and the thermostat responds accurately to temperature changes throughout the day.

The final walkthrough includes performance testing to verify refrigerant charge, electrical connections, and airflow measurements. You receive a written estimate before work begins, and the team explains system operation and filter maintenance before leaving. This process does not include ductwork replacement unless inspection reveals leaks or damage that would compromise efficiency.

Questions That Come Up Before Installing New Equipment

Homeowners in Katy often ask about sizing, energy ratings, and what to expect during installation day, especially if the existing system has been in place for over a decade.

How do you determine the right system size for my home?
Load calculations factor in square footage, insulation levels, window exposure, and ductwork layout to match the system capacity to your cooling needs. Oversized units cycle too frequently, while undersized systems run continuously without reaching the set temperature.
What energy efficiency ratings should I consider for Texas summers?
Systems with higher SEER ratings use less electricity during extended cooling seasons, which lowers monthly utility costs. Your installer can recommend models that balance upfront cost with long-term savings based on your usage patterns.
How long does a full installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in one day, depending on the complexity of the ductwork and electrical work required. The crew removes the old system, installs the new equipment, tests all components, and walks you through the operation before finishing.
What happens to my old air conditioning system?
The installation team removes and disposes of the old unit according to local regulations, including safe handling of refrigerants. You do not need to arrange separate removal or recycling.
When should I replace instead of repair my current system?
If your system is over twelve years old, requires frequent repairs, or no longer cools your home evenly, replacement often costs less over time than continuing to fix an aging unit. High energy bills and inconsistent temperatures are strong indicators that a new installation will provide better performance.
