AC Repair, Install & Replacement near Empire State Trail in Kingston, NY

Size and complexity are the biggest factors. A small office might run $8,000-12,000, but restaurants or retail spaces with heavy cooling loads can hit $25,000+. Rooftop units, electrical upgrades, and weekend emergency installs all add to the price.

Most commercial jobs take 6-12 hours depending on size. We typically arrive early morning, disconnect the old unit, crane in the new system, connect electrical and refrigerant lines, then test everything. Same-day completion keeps your business running.

Rising electric bills, uneven cooling, frequent repairs, and units over 12-15 years old are red flags. If you're calling for service more than twice a season or hearing grinding noises, replacement usually makes more financial sense than repairs.

If repair costs exceed 50% of replacement value, or the unit is over 10 years old with major component failure, replace it. Newer units are 30-40% more efficient and come with warranties that reduce your maintenance headaches.

Yes, NYSERDA offers significant rebates for high-efficiency commercial units - often $500-2,000 per ton. National Grid and Central Hudson also have programs. We handle the paperwork and can often apply rebates directly to reduce your upfront cost.
