The Smarter Alternative to the Ordinary Air Conditioning Installation

Here at Alternative Aire we will do it right the first time, so we will need to do a thorough pre-assessment of your home or office, and current air conditioning system. The first step toward helping you choose the right equipment for you is to do a complete analysis of your present AC system, so we can determine the right size air conditioning equipment for your individual comfort needs. This is done by performing a Manual J heat load calculation. It is important to be sure that any contractor you use to install your air conditioner performs a heat load calculation. Completing a proper Manual J heat load calculation is the only way to determine if your new air conditioner system is the proper size for your home or office.

We are a Premier Amana AC Dealer.

According to the Department of Energy, a large percentage of people who replace their air conditioning equipment don’t take the time to get a proper system analysis and end up with the wrong size equipment. This will result in higher utility bills, equipment that fails and needs to be replaced before its life expectancy is reached, or you might end up with an air conditioner that will not provide the comfort that you expect.

We understand that buying a new cooling system is a major investment for any homeowner. Our company offers a wide choice of payment options, and your comfort consultant will work closely with you to help you select the payment option that is best suited for you.

We service all major brands
