Air-conditioning installation in Northern Virginia
We install central air conditioning, heat pumps, and ductless systems for existing homes, additions, and new cooling needs. We start with the home, define the installation scope, and verify the system before the handoff.
Replacing an existing unit? Bring the repair history and room concerns. A new outdoor unit alone may not solve an airflow, duct, or building problem.
Explore AC replacementUnderstand the installation options
Central AC, a ducted heat pump, and ductless systems solve different installation needs. Explore what each option brings to the conversation, then let the home assessment guide the choice.
Whole-home cooling through a central indoor coil, blower, and duct system.
Cooling in summer, with the ability to reverse the cycle for heating.
An indoor unit serves a room or area without adding central supply ducts.
01 / Ducted cooling
Central AC uses an outdoor unit and compatible indoor coil and blower to cool air delivered through the home’s ducts. We review those parts as one installation.
A new outdoor unit alone does not settle equipment compatibility, airflow, or comfort problems in individual rooms.
One team for the complete installation
The cooling equipment.We bring both trades into the scope, from the indoor and outdoor units to the circuit, disconnect, and controls the proposed system needs.
A few choices. A more useful estimate.
Tell us the kind of project, what you know about the ducts, and what matters to you. Build a short brief with useful questions for the estimate conversation.
Not sure? Leave a choice blank.
Choose a project and add the details you know. Your brief will collect useful questions for the estimate conversation, without guessing a system size or price.
For this project
We can assess the air distribution during the estimate. You do not need to enter an attic, crawlspace, or equipment compartment to answer.
Describe the existing heating system if known. Cooling equipment should be considered alongside the parts of the heating system that will stay.
Questions based on your priorities
Your choices stay on this page. This brief is not a load calculation, equipment recommendation, price quote, or appointment. Keep it for the conversation; nothing has been sent.
Quality you can ask about
SEER2 helps compare rated cooling efficiency under standardized conditions. Performance in your home also depends on equipment fit, airflow, refrigerant charge, controls, and the building itself.
We assess the rooms, layout, windows, insulation, and other cooling loads to inform capacity. The existing unit is one piece of history.
Ask: What load assessment supports this capacity?The outdoor unit, indoor coil, blower, and controls need to work as a compatible system. The proposal identifies what stays and what changes.
Ask: What are the proposed model numbers?Existing ducts, returns, leakage, and room complaints belong in the assessment. Any required duct changes should be clear in the scope.
Ask: What airflow work is included?We assess circuits, disconnects, wiring, drainage, equipment placement, and access so supporting work is part of the conversation.
Ask: What supporting work or building work is needed?We verify charge using manufacturer procedures, assess airflow, and check controls, drainage, and operation before the handoff.
Ask: What startup results will I receive?We handle applicable permits and product registration within the agreed installation. Keep the equipment details and written warranty terms.
Ask: What coverage, exclusions, and care apply?Installation background: DOE quality-installation checklist ↗ · ACCA Manual J load calculations ↗

Answers before you choose
Sizing, equipment choices, installation scope, cost, and care.
Ask PRO: 703-225-8222We use a load calculation to assess the home’s cooling needs rather than selecting capacity from square footage or the old unit alone. A Manual J calculation considers the home, rooms, windows, insulation, orientation, and other loads. Equipment selection and the air-distribution plan follow that assessment.
Central AC is an option when suitable ductwork and indoor equipment are part of the plan. A heat pump can provide cooling and heating. Ductless can serve selected spaces or a whole-home plan without central supply ducts. We compare room coverage, existing systems, electrical work, and installed scope.
Yes. We can discuss ductless options and whether a new ducted system is practical. The proposal should identify the rooms served, indoor and outdoor unit locations, connection routes, drainage, electrical requirements, and any building work. One indoor unit does not guarantee comfort in every closed room.
Not automatically. Oversized equipment can cycle poorly and affect moisture removal, while equipment with insufficient capacity may struggle under design conditions. The right choice comes from the load assessment, equipment performance, airflow, and the home’s needs, rather than choosing the largest unit.
The proposed indoor and outdoor equipment must form a compatible, approved combination. Ask which components will be replaced or retained and for the exact model numbers and rated combination. An existing coil or blower should not be assumed suitable without checking compatibility, condition, and manufacturer requirements.
Look for equipment model numbers, the capacity assessment, indoor and outdoor scope, duct and airflow work, electrical and drainage work, controls, access or building work, applicable permits, startup checks, documentation, warranty terms, exclusions, and the total installed price. Compare the same scope across proposals.
SEER2 is a seasonal cooling-efficiency rating under standardized test conditions. It helps compare rated equipment combinations, but it is not a promise of a specific utility bill. The home, weather, usage, ductwork, settings, and quality of installation also affect performance.
Compare the exact models proposed within Comfort, Performance, and Infinity. Comfort includes straightforward single-stage central AC options; Performance includes single-stage and two-stage choices; Infinity offers advanced variable-speed options. Controls, compatible indoor equipment, sound, efficiency, installed cost, and warranty terms should be compared model by model.
Commissioning means checking the installed system before handoff. We verify and document refrigerant charge using the manufacturer’s procedures, assess airflow, check controls and condensate drainage, and review operation. Ask for the startup information and any follow-up items for the selected equipment.
Yes. PRO Electric plus HVAC handles HVAC and electrical work under Virginia contractor license 2705181607. We assess the proposed equipment’s circuit, disconnect, wiring, and related needs and define the electrical work in the installation scope. A panel upgrade is not assumed for every new AC.
Timing depends on the equipment, access, duct and electrical work, building changes, inspections, and parts availability. We discuss the expected schedule and any interruption to cooling before work begins. An online estimate request does not reserve an installation date.
Coverage depends on the equipment, application, registration, and applicable program terms. Ask for the written manufacturer parts coverage, any labor coverage, exclusions, registration requirements, and the installation warranty separately. We handle registration as part of the job and provide the relevant documentation; confirm any program-specific eligibility in the proposal.
A new AC alone may not address duct problems, insulation, windows, controls, or other causes of uneven cooling or energy use. Tell us which rooms are affected and share the relevant history. We assess those concerns as part of the proposed installation rather than guaranteeing a particular bill reduction.
We offer free AC installation estimates. Financing is available on request, and our veteran and military discount program may apply. Ask about current eligibility and terms. A diagnostic or repair visit is a separate service and may carry charges.
