In a central air system, a network of ducts carries the conditioned air throughout your home. Older ductwork can be leaking, crushed, inefficient, or poorly installed. If we think repairs or replacement is needed, we will let you know after we inspect your existing system. New equipment will not operate properly on leaking or damaged ductwork.
System size is measured in tons. The best size for your home is based upon the square footage of your home, the volume of air that needs to be circulated, type of construction, insulation, and many other factors! Bigger is not necessarily better! We will recommend the system size that run best for your home. We can also run a load calculation, also known as a Manual J, if you feel that your current system is not properly sized. There is a fee for this service but it is reduced if you purchase your new system from us.

One of the most important reasons to hire a qualified HVAC contractor, like Carolina Air, is safety. HVAC systems are complex pieces of equipment. That’s why our technicians undergo extensive training to learn how the various parts function and work together. If you’re attempting to install an HVAC system yourself, don’t overestimate your abilities. Installing an HVAC system by yourself is risky. You’ll be working with electrical wiring and refrigerant, and gas and oil furnaces have fuel lines that contain a combustible energy source. While manufacturers make every effort to include safety mechanisms in their products, anything could still go wrong. Our trained technicians understand how the whole system fits together and have the necessary equipment, tools, and knowledge to perform work safely.

When selecting an HVAC contractor, ask if the technicians are NATE-certified. NATE stands for North American Technician Excellence and is the industry standard by which technicians are measured. To qualify, technicians undergo rigorous training, must demonstrate a high level of proficiency with HVAC equipment, and must pass a stringent set of tests. If your HVAC technician is NATE-certified, you can be confident that he or she is one of the best in the trade.

If you use an unlicensed HVAC installer, you may save money in the short term, but you won’t have any guarantees on the work or the products. Should any problems crop up later, you’ll have to bear the cost of repairs. At Carolina Air, we always provide a warranty and guarantee the installation, to cover any issues after installation. Should anything go wrong or a product be faulty, we will gladly replace or repair parts during the warranty period. We also carry insurance in case any damage may occur to the property during installation.

We are knowledgeable of all compulsory state and city codes and will perform the installation in accordance with these regulations. You have peace of mind knowing that your new system is installed correctly, safely, and backed by both the Carolina Air Guarantee and the Carrier Warranty.
