Before you hire
Central air installation in Metro Detroit
If your home has forced-air heat, central air uses the same ducts and furnace blower, with an outdoor condenser and an indoor coil. Homes with boilers or radiators can add cooling with ductless mini splits or high-velocity systems.
A proper install includes a load calculation, a matched coil and condenser, a new line set when needed, a pad, a dedicated electrical circuit, and correct refrigerant charge. Many homeowners pair it with a heat pump for heating savings too.
What a proper job includes
- Load calculation and system match
- Outdoor condenser on a pad
- Indoor coil matched to the furnace
- Line set, electrical disconnect and circuit
- Refrigerant charge and startup test
- Permit and inspection
What drives the price
- System size and efficiency (SEER2)
- Existing ductwork or new ducts
- Electrical panel capacity
- Heat pump vs standard AC
- Rebates and financing

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Heating and cooling equipment is mechanical work in Michigan. Installing or replacing equipment needs a mechanical permit, and the contractor needs a Michigan mechanical license with the right classification (for example HVAC equipment, refrigeration, hydronic heating, or fuel gas piping). A homeowner in a single-family home may pull a permit for their own work. Check the license on the LARA lookup. In Detroit, permits and inspections go through BSEED.
Verify any license on the LARA license lookup. Detroit permits go through BSEED. Read How We Vet.
How to compare quotes
- Ask for a load calculation.
- Ask whether the coil matches the condenser and furnace.
- Confirm electrical work and permit are included.
- Compare warranties and registration.
