AC Installation & Replacement

Professional AC installation and full-system replacements—done right for your home and your budget.

When your air conditioner is too old, inefficient, or unreliable to keep up, it’s time to consider a replacement. At BPM Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, we specialize in installing high-efficiency air conditioning systems that are correctly sized, properly installed, and designed to deliver long-term performance. Whether you’re upgrading an outdated system or starting from scratch in a new home, our team ensures every step is done with precision.

We install all major brands—including Trane, Goodman, Lennox, Rheem, Carrier, Bryant, York, and American Standard—as well as a wide range of system types, from central air to ductless and packaged units.

Types of AC Systems We Install

  • Central Air Conditioning – The most common system for cooling the whole home via ductwork.
  • Ductless Mini-Splits – Great for additions, zoned control, or homes without ductwork.
  • Packaged Systems – All-in-one units typically installed outside or on rooftops for space-saving solutions.
  • Heat Pumps (Cooling Mode) – Efficient dual-function systems that provide cooling in summer.
  • Multizone Mini-Split Systems – Ideal for homes needing room-by-room control without installing ducts.

What to Expect During Installation

Replacing or installing a new AC system involves more than swapping equipment. We take the time to evaluate your home’s specific cooling needs:

  • Manual J load calculation to determine proper system size
  • Inspection of ductwork for airflow, leaks, and balance
  • Recommendations for SEER2-rated systems based on comfort and energy efficiency goals
  • Permitting, electrical inspection, and system commissioning
  • Thermostat upgrade and connection to smart home platforms (if applicable)

Every installation is completed to manufacturer standards—and backed by our workmanship guarantee.

When Should You Replace Your Air Conditioner?

If you’re not sure whether AC repair or replacement is the right call, here are a few signs your system is nearing the end of its life:

  • Your unit is over 12–15 years old
  • You’re facing frequent or costly repairs
  • Your energy bills are rising without explanation
  • Some rooms are too hot while others stay cold
  • Your system uses outdated refrigerant like R-22

We’ll walk you through your options and help you decide whether a full replacement makes sense based on cost, performance, and future maintenance needs.

Efficiency & Rebates

All new AC systems are rated by SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2). In Maryland and Pennsylvania, the minimum required is 14.3 SEER2, but we often recommend systems in the 16–18 SEER2 range for better performance and long-term savings.

As a Lennox Preferred Dealer, we help homeowners access:

  • Federal tax credits for qualifying systems
  • State utility rebates in MD and PA
  • Manufacturer promotions and incentives

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you’re dealing with an unexpected breakdown, planning a new installation, or just trying to stay ahead of seasonal maintenance, it’s normal to have a few questions. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common ones our customers ask — to help you feel more confident about your system.

How much does a new air conditioner cost?

Costs typically range from $5,000 to $10,000+ depending on the size of your home, system type, SEER2 rating, and any ductwork modifications required. We’ll provide a clear estimate with all costs explained upfront.

Most installations take just one day, though complex ductwork or electrical upgrades can add time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline before the work begins and keep you updated throughout.
