Central Air Conditioning
The most common cooling system for homes with existing ductwork. We install high-efficiency units with SEER ratings from 14 to 25+, helping you balance upfront cost with long-term energy savings. We handle everything from the outdoor condenser to the indoor evaporator coil, refrigerant lines, and thermostat.
Ductless Mini-Split Systems
Perfect for homes without ductwork, additions, sunrooms, converted garages, and zones that need independent temperature control. Ductless systems offer both heating and cooling in one unit. As electrical specialists, we run the dedicated circuit your mini-split needs—one contractor, one visit.
Heat Pump Systems
Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating using a single outdoor unit. They’re highly efficient in New Jersey’s moderate climate and may qualify for NJ Clean Energy rebates and federal tax credits. We install air-source and dual-fuel heat pump systems.
System Replacement & Upgrades
Replacing an aging system? We remove your old unit, properly dispose of refrigerants, and install your new system in as little as one day. We’ll also assess whether your ductwork, electrical panel, and thermostat need updating to support the new system.
Step 1: Free In-Home Consultation
We visit your home to assess your current system, ductwork, insulation, and electrical capacity. We discuss your comfort goals, budget, and any specific concerns.
Step 2: System Sizing & Selection
Using Manual J load calculations, we determine the exact cooling capacity your home needs—not just a guess based on square footage. We present options across multiple brands and efficiency levels so you can make an informed choice.
Step 3: Removal of Old Equipment
We carefully disconnect, remove, and properly dispose of your old AC system, including refrigerants. Removal and disposal are included in our installation price.
Step 4: Professional Installation
Our licensed technicians install your new system following manufacturer specifications and all local building codes. We handle refrigerant lines, electrical connections, condensate drainage, and thermostat setup.
Step 5: Testing & Commissioning
We run your new system through a complete test cycle—checking temperatures, airflow, refrigerant charge, and electrical readings—to ensure everything is operating at peak performance.
Step 6: Homeowner Walkthrough
We walk you through your new system’s operation, thermostat settings, filter maintenance, and warranty details. We make sure you’re completely comfortable before we leave.
Proper System Sizing
We don’t guess. Manual J load calculations ensure your new AC is sized correctly for your home—preventing the energy waste, humidity problems, and premature wear caused by oversized or undersized systems.
Experienced, Licensed Technicians
Our installers are NJ-licensed, NATE-certified, and trained on all major brands. Every installation meets manufacturer specifications and local building codes.
Upfront Pricing & Financing
You’ll receive a detailed, written estimate before we start. No hidden fees, no surprises. We also offer flexible financing options to make your new system more affordable. Ask about available NJ Clean Energy rebates and federal tax credits.
One-Day Installation
Most residential AC installations are completed in a single day. We show up on time, work efficiently, and leave your home clean.
Electrical + HVAC Under One Roof
Need a dedicated 240V circuit for your new AC? A panel upgrade to handle the load? We handle both electrical and HVAC work—one company, one call. No waiting for a second contractor.
Local & Trusted
We’re your neighbors in Brick Township, serving Herbertsville, Laurelton, Lake Riviera, Metedeconk, and communities throughout Ocean and Monmouth County. We treat every installation like it’s our own home.
AC installation costs depend on your home’s size, the system type (central, ductless, heat pump), efficiency rating, and any additional work needed (ductwork, electrical). We provide a free in-home estimate with clear pricing—no hidden fees. We also offer financing options to make it manageable.
Most residential AC installations are completed in one day (6–10 hours). Complex installations involving ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or multi-zone systems may take longer. We’ll provide a clear timeline during your estimate.
AC size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window area, ceiling height, and sun exposure. We perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact cooling capacity needed—not just a guess based on square footage. An oversized or undersized system will waste energy and leave you uncomfortable.
If both systems are aging, replacing them together can save money on installation labor and ensure the components are properly matched for maximum efficiency. However, if one system is significantly newer, individual replacement may make more sense. We’ll give you an honest recommendation.
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures cooling efficiency. The minimum in NJ is 14 SEER, but 16–20+ SEER units offer significantly lower energy bills. Higher SEER costs more upfront but pays back through energy savings. We help you find the right balance for your budget and goals.
Many AC installations require a dedicated 240V circuit, and some older homes may need a panel upgrade. As Echelon Services & HVAC, we handle both the HVAC installation and any electrical work in-house—one permit, one contractor, one visit.
Yes. NJ Clean Energy and local utility companies (PSEG, JCP&L) offer rebates for high-efficiency HVAC systems. Federal tax credits may also apply, especially for heat pump systems. We help identify available incentives during your consultation.
Yes. We offer flexible financing options to help make your new AC system more affordable. Contact us to learn about current programs, terms, and monthly payment options that fit your budget.
