Installing a new AC without checking line set length, refrigerant match, and cooling load is how Ogilvie homeowners end up with a unit that never performs to spec. We assess before we recommend.
New AC installs miss their rated SEER2 efficiency more often than people realize, usually from oversizing or a mismatched line set. Equipment gets sized to the actual cooling load, and line sets follow manufacturer spec, not the shortest path.
What we don't cut corners on.
We size the unit off real measurements taken at your property, not a chart based on square footage.
We lay out a few tiers and the tradeoffs between them.
Our labor is backed on paper, not just a handshake.
Cutting that corner is invisible until the efficiency numbers come back wrong.
Outdoor unit placement accounts for bedroom windows and shared property lines, not just the shortest line run.
From load calculation to startup commissioning.
We assess insulation, window exposure, and orientation to calculate correct tonnage.
SEER2 ratings get explained in plain terms, not marketing language.
We follow the spec, avoiding efficiency losses.
Units get placed away from heat traps, debris, and noise-sensitive windows, not just wherever's convenient.
Charge, airflow, and temperature split all get verified after install.
Removal follows EPA rules.

Options based on real data.
Installation completed and warrantied.
Recent reviews from new system installs.
Our bedroom shares a wall with the neighbor's patio and the old condenser was a constant source of tension. New placement and a quieter unit fixed the relationship, not just the cooling.

Tiny house build with almost no room to spare. They found a mini-split configuration that actually fit our unusual layout.
— C. Vandermolen, tiny house owner
Rescued a litter of kittens that needed a stable temperature nursery room, and they helped us size a small supplemental unit just for that space.
— P. Ekundayo, animal foster volunteer
Home wine cellar addition needed very specific temperature control separate from the rest of the house. They understood the requirements without us having to over-explain.
— M. Dellacroce, homeowner
Converted our garage into a home gym and needed cooling that could handle both the workout heat and the summer sun through the door. They sized it for the actual use case, not just square footage.
— D. Achterberg, home gym owner
