Professional Air Conditioning Installation Services
At Mills Air, we understand that installing a new air conditioning system represents a significant investment in your home or business comfort. Since 1992, we’ve been helping residents and businesses throughout Central Florida achieve optimal indoor climate control through expert installation services. Our comprehensive approach ensures that every system we install operates at peak efficiency while delivering reliable performance for years to come.
The installation process begins long before our technicians arrive at your property. We conduct thorough load calculations to determine the precise cooling capacity needed for your specific space. This critical step involves analyzing factors such as square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, window placement, and local climate data. By taking these measurements seriously, we ensure your new system won’t be oversized, which wastes energy and creates uncomfortable humidity levels, or undersized, which leads to constant running and premature wear.
Comprehensive AC System Selection and Sizing
Selecting the right air conditioning system involves more than choosing a brand name. We evaluate your specific needs, budget considerations, and long-term efficiency goals to recommend equipment that delivers optimal value. Modern central air conditioning systems typically achieve SEER ratings between 14 and 26, with higher numbers indicating greater energy efficiency. Our team helps you understand how investing in higher-efficiency equipment can reduce monthly utility costs by 20-40% compared to older systems while qualifying for potential utility rebates and tax incentives.
The physical characteristics of your property play a crucial role in system selection. Ranch-style homes often benefit from single-stage or two-stage systems, while multi-story buildings may require zoning capabilities to maintain consistent temperatures across different levels. We also consider existing ductwork conditions, electrical service capacity, and available installation space when recommending split systems, packaged units, or ductless mini-split configurations. Leon Mills, our Founder & CEO, has always emphasized that providing the best quality service and equipment to our valued customers means taking time to understand each unique situation rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions.
The Air Conditioner Installation Process
Our installation process follows strict industry standards and manufacturer specifications to ensure optimal performance and maintain warranty coverage. The typical residential installation takes one to two days, depending on system complexity and any necessary modifications to existing infrastructure. We begin by protecting your floors and furnishings with drop cloths and plastic sheeting, demonstrating the same respect for your property that we’d show in our own homes.
The outdoor condensing unit requires proper placement on a level concrete pad or brackets, positioned to allow adequate airflow and service access. We maintain manufacturer-specified clearances from walls, vegetation, and other obstructions while considering factors like direct sunlight exposure and proximity to bedroom windows for noise considerations. Inside, the air handler or furnace installation involves precise connections to existing or new ductwork, ensuring proper sealing to prevent energy loss. Our technicians carefully route refrigerant lines, maintaining proper insulation and protection from physical damage while following local building codes for line set routing and support.

After physical installation, we perform comprehensive system commissioning to verify proper operation. This includes:
- Refrigerant charge verification: Using precision instruments to confirm optimal refrigerant levels for maximum efficiency
- Airflow testing: Measuring CFM delivery at each register to ensure balanced distribution
- Electrical verification: Checking all connections, amp draws, and safety controls
- Thermostat programming: Setting up scheduling and features for convenient operation
- Performance testing: Running complete cooling cycles to verify temperature differentials and humidity removal
Our commitment to building an internal culture of team and family extends to how we treat every installation. With over 75 staff members and a fleet of trucks ready to service all your needs, we maintain the resources to handle projects of any size while delivering personalized attention to each customer. This approach has helped us grow to become one of Central Florida’s largest and most respected companies in the air conditioning, heating, and indoor air quality industry.
Beyond the installation itself, we provide comprehensive customer education about system operation, maintenance requirements, and energy-saving strategies. We also offer preventative maintenance programs and energy surveys that can uncover additional ways to reduce costly utility bills. As a full-service residential, commercial, and multifamily HVAC contractor, Mills Air remains your trusted partner long after installation day, ensuring your investment continues delivering comfort and efficiency throughout its operational life.
