A/C Installation

Energy-Efficient A/C Installation in Metro Detroit

Replacing an outdated air conditioner is the fastest way to slash cooling costs and enjoy whisper-quiet comfort-whether you manage a downtown retail loft, oversee a light-commercial office park, or relax at home in a three-bedroom ranch. Our licensed team at Shook HVAC specializes in high-efficiency split systems, heat pumps, and packaged rooftop units that not only exceed Michigan’s 2023 SEER2 requirements but also optimize humidity control and airflow for any building size or layout.

Why Choose Shook HVAC for A/C Installation

Precision load calculations – We run ACCA Manual J and Manual D assessments to eliminate hot spots and balance humidity.

Manufacturer-authorized expertise – Certified installers for Carrier, Bryant, Payne, VRF, and advanced inverter systems.

Streamlined permitting – We handle permit applications and inspections in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties.

Transparent project management – Line-item proposals, fixed timelines, and zero surprise change-orders.

Comprehensive labor guarantee – Beyond the standard 10-year parts warranty, our 5-10 year workmanship coverage protects your investment.

When to Replace Your Air-Conditioner

  • Unit is over 12 years old or still uses R-22 refrigerant
  • You’re scheduling service calls more than twice a year
  • Energy bills climb despite recent maintenance
  • Indoor humidity remains persistently high
  • Commercial ventilation codes fail on rooftop units
  • Compressor freezes up or pressure readings fluctuate unexpectedly

If your last two repair invoices equal half the cost of a new system, replacement usually delivers a better return on investment.

Our Installation Process

Step One: On-Site Assessment

We measure square footage, chart insulation R-values, test duct static pressure, and discuss your comfort goals to tailor the system design.

Step Two: Custom System Design

Using software and Manual J outputs, we present good-better-best equipment tiers, complete with SEER ratings, noise levels, and 10-year lifecycle cost estimates.

Step Three: Precision Installation & Commissioning

Our NATE-certified crew installs equipment on vibration-isolating mounts or rooftop curbs, evacuates lines to 500 microns, charges per manufacturer spec, and delivers a digital performance report.

A/C Installation FAQs

How long does an installation take?
Most residential change-outs finish in one day; light-commercial rooftop replacements typically wrap up in two days, including safety checks.
0% APR financing up to 18 months and low-payment plans over 60 months are available with approved credit.
We inspect existing ducts for sizing and leakage; sealing or minor reconfigurations often restore optimal airflow without full replacement.
We’re factory-authorized for Carrier, Bryant, Payne, and Daikin; custom requests for other high-efficiency makes can be accommodated.
