How much does it cost to have air conditioning installed?

Air conditioning installation price varies. One of the primary costs will be for the unit itself. Our technicians also have the ability to modify ductwork in case it is needed. We will also charge an installation fee that varies depending on how many installation parts we use, and how much time it takes to do the job. But no matter what, we will give you a written firm proposal in advance, before we start the work, guarantee the price, and guarantee the work!

Which air conditioning brand do you guys recommend?

We supply and install Trane and Mitsubishi units with financing available. When selecting a unit, our team will provide specific recommendations based on your family's needs, energy efficiency requirements, and overall budget. We are proud to be Trane Comfort Specialists and Mitsubishi Elite Diamond Contractors.

How much should it cost to convert from a traditional to tankless hot water heater?

Tankless water heaters are often more costly to install than traditional tank water heaters. However, the overall cost for installing a tankless hot water heater will vary depending on your existing plumbing and the cost and capacity of the unit itself. Tankless hot water heaters are a great option for new builds and when easy accessibility and venting are available. Annual maintenance for your new tankless water heater is vital to keep it functioning properly!

Can you repair any brand of water heater?

Yes! We are experienced in water heater repairs with most makes and models of water heaters. Whether you have a traditional tank water heater or a tankless unit, our reputable professionals are highly capable of fixing any problem you might have with your hot water unit. As long as the parts available, we offer repairs for most water heater brands. If your water heater is over eight years old, parts aren’t readily available, or repairs will cost over $800, we may recommend installing a new unit for the most cost-effective option.

Commercial Air Conditioning Installation

If you’d like to increase the comfort of your employees or prospective customers, don’t waste any time in having an air conditioning system professionally installed. Without a functioning air conditioner, a heat wave could easily halt your business. The installation of a large commercial system is certainly not a do-it-yourself type of job. It requires an unbelievable amount of work – work that only professionals can execute properly.
At Robert B. Payne, Inc. we hire expert technicians with years of experience in the industry, and have a strong commitment to continued education and advanced training. We do this because we know that your business relies on the air conditioning services we provide. All of our customers receive our quality guarantee. We also price our services competitively, to ensure that you receive the most value for your money. To prevent extensive repairs or poor operation, have your system professionally installed.

Residential Air Conditioning Installation

As temperatures rise, more and more people avoid going outside. Instead, we hole up indoors and enjoy the comfort of a refreshing air conditioning system. Of course, in homes without air conditioners, stress and discomfort can run rampant. An overhead fan can help move the air around, but it doesn’t create the same refreshing environment.

At Robert B. Payne, Inc., we don’t just repair air conditioners, we also professionally install them. If you opt for an amateur installation, you’ll pay later in repairs and rewiring. At Robert B. Payne, Inc., on the other hand, we only work with experienced, thoroughly trained technicians. Each installation expert we have on staff is equipped with the latest industry tools and is prepared for any job. We’ll make sure your unit functions perfectly before we leave you to your comfortable home.

Ductless Air Conditioning Installation

Ductless air conditioning systems are known for their exceptional efficiency, flexibility, and smooth, nearly silent operation. Without the restrictions of a heavy duct system, the system can deliver conditioned air into any space through small, unobtrusive wall or ceiling units.

Furthermore, by eliminating the air distribution system entirely, you effectively reduce the amount of system maintenance and repairs. This, in turn, will save you money. Of course, as with any heating or air conditioning appliance, it’s important to have your ductless air conditioning system professionally installed. Homeowners do not have the expertise required to properly install the system. Any attempt to complete the job on your own may lead to additional expenses and costly repair services. It’s best to have Robert B. Payne, Inc. install your new, efficient system correctly the first time.

Split System Air Conditioning Installation

When it comes to installing a split system, you want a trained professional on the job. While there’s no ductwork involved in the system, it still has many confusing internal parts. Installation is certainly not a do-it-yourself job. At Robert B. Payne, Inc., we can professionally install a new split system in your home. We’ll make sure everything’s working as it should and quickly troubleshoot any problem before we leave. We’re dedicated to customer satisfaction and premium quality.

There are many reasons to get a split system air conditioning unit. For one thing, these units are more energy efficient and cost-effective than their traditional counterparts. In fact, mini split systems are 40% more efficient than window air conditioners. This summer, get Robert B. Payne, Inc. to install a more cost-effective system in your home!

Choosing the Right Air Conditioning System

Your home can’t feel like a castle without temperature control, so choosing the right air conditioning system is so crucial. There are many factors to keep in mind when making the choice, and it can get complex. But if you live in Fredericksburg or the nearby communities, then you can count on the team over at Robert B. Payne, Inc. to help guide you to cool comfort.

When installing or repairing AC units, we have to keep in mind each unit’s type, size, and positioning. The main types of air conditioners are duct-based central heating/cooling units, window units, split systems, and portables. Air conditioners are measured in tons, with more powerful units having a higher tonnage. Installing the right model in the right spot in your home can make all the difference to your bottom line and daily comfort.

While there’s no law in Fredericksburg stopping you from installing or repairing an AC as a DIY project, if you will be purchasing or handling any refrigerant directly, EPA regulations need you to be licensed. The professional Robert B. Payne HVAC personnel are fully licensed and ready to help, so call now!

Central Air Conditioner Installation

More and more homeowners are opting for central air conditioning units. These systems are more efficient and effective at cooling an entire home than window units, which work best on only a single room. The size of unit you’ll need will depend on the size of your home. That’s where Robert B. Payne, Inc. enters the picture. We not only offer professional installations, but also help homeowners and businesses select the right unit for their needs.

A New Air Conditioner May Be Just What You Need

How do you know when it’s time for an upgrade? One of our skilled technicians will do a cooling system assessment to make specific suggestions regarding your air conditioner installation. In general, however, you may want to consider a new unit if:

Your current heating and cooling system is 10 years or older
You are faced with a major, expensive repair
Your HVAC is low-efficiency

In order for your unit to run at maximum efficiency, we recommend regular maintenance. Our team can assess where your HVAC is now in terms of efficiency, so you can determine if new air conditioner installation is the best choice.

Benefits of an Upgrade

Putting in a new AC unit will do more than simply cool your home or office. There are several advantages to working with our team when it comes to your air conditioner replacement:

A higher-efficiency model means you will save on utility bills
Enjoy a quieter machine
Improve your indoor air quality
Benefit from possible tax credits and rebates
Maximize your space with our savvy installation
