What's included in a standard installation
Every AC installation Greenville TX job includes the equipment, the labor, the permit, and the testing. Here's what's covered and what's quoted separately if your home needs it.
Work order
AC Installation- Manual J load calculation: We measure your home and run the ACCA Manual J calculation before quoting. You get a written report showing the recommended tonnage. This is the step most competitors skip, and it's the reason systems get oversized.
- New condenser and evaporator coil: We supply and install a matched condenser and indoor coil from Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, or Rheem.
- New line set and drain line: We run a new insulated line set sized to the equipment and replace the drain line with a cleanout and float switch. Old line sets trap moisture and leak.
- Vacuum and weighed charge: We pull a vacuum below 500 microns with a vacuum pump and manifold gauge set, then weigh in R-410A refrigerant to the manufacturer's spec. We log the vacuum and the charge weight.
- Permit and inspection: We pull the HVAC permit with the City of Greenville or Hunt County, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector on site. You get the signed inspection card for your records. This matters when you sell the house.
- Thermostat setup and walkthrough: We install and program your thermostat, whether it's a basic model or an Ecobee. Then we walk you through filter changes, the disconnect location, and the drain cleanout. You'll know how to shut the system down if you ever need to.

AC installation Greenville TX done the right way
A new AC is only as good as the install behind it. Sizing, vacuum, and charge decide whether it lasts 15 years or 5. We do those steps and write them down.
AC installation Greenville TX is the process of removing an old cooling system and installing a new condenser, evaporator coil, line set, and thermostat that match your home's actual heat load. We start with a Manual J load calculation, not a guess based on square footage. That tells us the exact tonnage your house needs. Then we set the condenser on a level pad, run new insulated line sets, braze the connections, pull a vacuum with a manifold gauge set and vacuum pump, and charge the system with R-410A refrigerant to the manufacturer's spec.
Most Greenville homeowners call us when a system that's 12 to 18 years old starts short cycling or blowing warm air in July. If you've been searching for new AC installation near me Greenville TX, we can usually get a quote out the same week. We also handle affordable AC installation Greenville Texas for rentals and older homes in ZIP codes 75401 and 75402, where attic ductwork and undersized returns are common.
- What it is
- Removing an old system and installing new cooling equipment.
- When it helps
- When repair costs pass half the price of replacement.
- What you get
- A sized, tested system with documented vacuum and charge.
What to expect on install day
Most residential changeouts take one day. Here's the sequence we follow so you know exactly what's happening and when.
Tools and methods we use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Pulls moisture and air out of the line set and coil. We hold below 500 microns for at least 15 minutes before charging.
Recovers R-410A or R-22 from the old system so it can be recycled or disposed of legally under EPA rules.
Tests voltage and amp draw at the disconnect, contactor, and compressor. Amp draw tells us if the compressor is working too hard.
Finds refrigerant leaks at brazed joints, Schrader valves, and coil rubs before we charge the new system.
When Greenville homeowners install a new AC
A 15-year-old system needs a $1,900 compressor replacement in June.
We quote both the repair and a new installation side by side.
HomesYou're buying a house in Downtown Greenville and the inspection report flags a 20-year-old AC.
We do a pre-closing evaluation and give you a written quote for replacement.
HomesYou added a 400-square-foot room and the existing system can't keep up.
We run a load calculation on the whole house, not just the addition.
HomesYour rental property in West End needs a reliable system between tenants.
We install a Goodman or Rheem system at a mid-range efficiency, which keeps upfront cost down without sacrificing reliability.
BusinessesYou want to cut summer electric bills and qualify for a utility rebate.
We quote 16-SEER2 and 18-SEER2 systems and show you the estimated annual savings.

How AC installation works in Greenville
Greenville sits in Hunt County, where summer design temperatures hit 98 degrees and humidity swings from 30 to 90 percent. That combination stresses equipment. We size every system for a 98-degree day, not a national average.
Downtown Greenville
Many homes here are 1940s to 1960s bungalows with attic ductwork and small returns. We often seal the plenum and add a return before sizing the new system.
North Main
Larger lots and mature trees mean some homes have shaded condensers and others sit in full sun. Shade affects capacity, so we account for it in the load calculation.
West End
A mix of rentals and owner-occupied homes. Landlords often choose mid-range Goodman or Rheem systems for reliability and lower upfront cost.

PhotoFrom 82 degrees to 74 in North Main
Before: A 2003 3-ton system ran nonstop and the house sat at 82 degrees by 4 p.m.
After: We installed a 3-ton 16-SEER2 Trane system with a new line set and Ecobee thermostat. Supply air dropped from 64 to 55 degrees.
R-22 replacement in West End duplex
Before: A duplex rental had two R-22 systems from 1998. The other had a failed compressor. Tenants were calling every week about heat.
After: We replaced both systems with 3-ton Goodman R-410A units and new line sets. Both passed inspection first try. Supply temperatures held at 56 degrees, and the tenant calls stopped.
Duct fix plus new system in Augusta Road
Before: A 1980s home had a 4-ton system on ductwork sized for 3 tons. Static pressure was 0.9 inches, well above the 0.5-inch target. The evaporator coil froze every few weeks and the blower motor had already been replaced twice.
After: We sealed the plenum, added a return, and installed a 3.5-ton Lennox system matched to the corrected ductwork. Static pressure dropped to 0.52 inches. The coil stopped freezing, and the blower motor amp draw fell into the manufacturer's range.
Problems a new installation solves
Most people call us after a repair quote gets close to replacement cost. Here are the problems we hear about most in Greenville.
Old system can't keep up in August
The house sits at 82 degrees by 4 p.m. and the system runs nonstop. Electric bills spike, and the compressor overheats.
R-22 refrigerant is no longer available
If your system uses R-22, every recharge costs more and the supply keeps shrinking. Eventually the system can't be recharged at all.
Short cycling wears out parts early
An oversized system cools fast, shuts off, and repeats. That cycling burns through capacitors and contactors and leaves the house humid.
Ductwork can't handle a new system
A new 4-ton system on ductwork sized for 3 tons will whistle, run hot, and freeze the coil.
Warranty denied because of poor install
Manufacturers deny compressor claims when the vacuum log, charge weight, or permit is missing. We document the vacuum, the weighed charge, and the permit.
Why a properly sized system matters
Here's what you actually get when the job is done right.
Lower summer electric bills
A correctly sized 16-SEER2 system can cut cooling costs by 20 to 40 percent compared to a 10-SEER unit from 2005.
Fewer breakdowns in August
Oversized units short cycle, which wears out capacitors, contactors, and compressors early. Undersized units run nonstop and freeze the evaporator coil.
Cleaner air and better humidity control
A new system lets us seal the plenum, replace the drain line, and install a proper filter cabinet.
Warranty that actually holds up
We pull a vacuum below 500 microns, weigh in the charge, and log it.

What Greenville homeowners say
Our 2004 unit died in July and we had three quotes. Greenville CoolCraft was the only one that ran a Manual J and showed us the math. They installed a 3-ton Trane and the house cools to 74 in 20 minutes. The crew pulled a vacuum, logged it, and cleaned up every scrap.
I manage four rentals near West End and needed affordable AC installation Greenville Texas without cutting corners. They installed Goodman systems in two duplexes and handled the permits. Both passed inspection first try. They also fixed a return that was undersized, which I didn't even know was a problem. Tenants stopped calling about heat.
We had a 1980s house with attic ductwork that was never sealed. They installed a new Lennox system and sealed the plenum and returns while they were up there. Supply temp dropped from 62 to 55 degrees. The house holds 75 on a 99-degree day now. They showed me the vacuum log and the charge weight before they left.

A standard residential changeout takes one day, usually 6 to 9 hours. That includes recovery, removal, new line set, vacuum, charge, and testing. If we're replacing ductwork or adding a return, plan on two days. Commercial rooftop units and multi-zone ductless systems can take two to four days. We schedule the inspection for the next business day and don't leave until the system is cooling.
Size depends on square footage, insulation, window area, and duct design, not just square footage. A 1,500-square-foot home in a 1970s subdivision near Downtown Greenville might need 2.5 tons. A 2,200-square-foot home in North Main with newer windows might need 3.5 tons. We run a Manual J load calculation to get the number right. Guessing by square footage alone is how you end up with a system that short cycles.
We do. Greenville CoolCraft installs Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and Mitsubishi Electric systems across Hunt County. We serve ZIP codes 75401 and 75402, including Downtown Greenville, West End, and Augusta Road. Call (903) 304-5500 and we'll schedule a load calculation and written quote.
