AC replacement and installation in Aurora, IL — sized to your house, not your old unit's label.

Full AC installation in Aurora runs $5,000–$10,000, with the final number shaped by system size and any ductwork changes the job needs. Every quote follows a real Manual J load calculation — not a guess off the old unit's label — and is written before work begins, whether the house is a pre-1900 downtown build or new construction on the outer edges.

Homes in Aurora's historic districts and older east-side neighborhoods weren't built with modern insulation or duct standards in mind. An oversized system in a less-sealed older house short-cycles and wears out early, and an undersized one in a newer, tighter house runs constantly without keeping up — a Manual J catches both before installation day, not after.

A standard AC installation takes one day, covering old equipment haul-away, a new line set and pad, and a commissioning report with final readings before we leave. Larger or more complex jobs — like ductwork modifications in one of Aurora's older east-side homes — can run toward the longer end.

Yes. Inside Aurora, the permit goes through the City of Aurora, whichever of its four counties (Kane, DuPage, Will, or Kendall) the house is in. Unincorporated addresses go through the county, and we file with whichever applies.

Single-stage systems run at one speed — full output or off — and cost less upfront. Two-stage and variable-speed systems adjust output to match the load, which means longer, gentler cycles that pull more humidity out of the air and run quieter. That shows up as a higher SEER2 rating, and every central AC installed in Illinois has to clear a federal SEER2 minimum — we'll walk through where each tier lands on your quote.

Yes — anyone on our crew doing refrigerant work carries current EPA Section 608 certification. It's legally required to handle refrigerant on any residential system, not a marketing credential, and it's worth confirming with any installer before they open up your system.

Yes, single and multi-zone systems for additions, garages, and rooms that don't have ductwork to extend into. Line-set routing and condensate planning are part of the install, which matters in Aurora's older east-side homes where running new ductwork isn't always practical.
