Professional ac installation for Grandville homes and businesses. Mazure's Heating & Air Conditioning is just 10 minutes from our Jenison shop — fast response when you need it most.
If your Grandville home needs a new air conditioner, you want someone who'll size it right and install it right the first time. That's been our approach since 1987. We've put in central air systems across Grandville — from the older homes near Downtown Grandville that never had AC to the newer builds off 44th Street that need a system upgrade. Our shop is 10 minutes away in Jenison, and we offer free in-home estimates. Mike Mazure walks through every option with you, explains what each system costs and why, and lets you decide without a hard sell.
We regularly serve homes in Downtown Grandville, Ivanrest — near RiverTown Crossings Mall and Grandville Avenue. Our Jenison headquarters puts us just 10 minutes from our Jenison shop, which means convenient scheduling for appointments and installations.
Grandville homes come in all shapes and ages. A 1,100-square-foot ranch near Ivanrest has very different cooling needs than a 2,500-square-foot two-story in one of the newer developments. That's why we start every AC installation with a Manual J load calculation. We measure your home, check insulation, count windows, evaluate ductwork, and factor in sun exposure. The result tells us exactly how many tons of cooling your home needs. Oversizing an AC unit is one of the most common mistakes in the industry. A system that's too big cools fast but cycles off before removing humidity, leaving your house clammy and uncomfortable. An undersized system runs nonstop and still can't keep up on the hottest days. We size it right. We install all major brands — Carrier, Lennox, Trane, Goodman, Rheem — in SEER2 ratings from 14 to 20. Higher SEER means lower electric bills. For Grandville homeowners who run their AC heavily through July and August, a higher-efficiency unit often pays for itself within five to seven years through energy savings. We lay out the costs for multiple options and let you choose what fits your budget.
Most AC installations in Grandville take one day. Our crew arrives in the morning, sets up protection for your floors and landscaping, and removes the old outdoor condenser and indoor evaporator coil. If your ductwork is in good condition, the new system connects to it directly. Many Grandville homes built in the 1950s through 1970s have original ductwork that's undersized by today's standards. If we spot restrictions, leaks, or crushed flex runs during the installation, we'll let you know and give you a price to address them. Ductwork issues can cut your new AC's efficiency by 20% to 30%, so it's worth fixing while the system is being installed. We set the new condenser on a proper pad, run new refrigerant lines if needed, wire the system to your electrical panel, and connect everything to your thermostat. Then we charge the refrigerant to manufacturer specifications, run the system through multiple cooling cycles, and check temperatures at every supply register. Before we leave, we walk you through the thermostat, show you where the filter is, and make sure you're satisfied with the airflow in every room.
A new central air conditioning system in Grandville typically costs between $4,000 and $8,000 installed. The range depends on the brand, efficiency rating, size of the system, and whether your home needs ductwork modifications. A straightforward replacement — same size, existing ductwork in good shape — falls on the lower end. A high-efficiency system with ductwork upgrades or a switch from window units to full central air lands on the higher end. We also install ductless mini-split systems for Grandville homes where running ductwork isn't practical or cost-effective. Additions, finished garages, and sunrooms are good candidates for ductless cooling. We provide a detailed written estimate that breaks down equipment, labor, and any additional work. The number on the estimate is the number you pay — no surprise charges on the invoice. We offer financing for homeowners who prefer monthly payments, and we'll let you know if your chosen system qualifies for a Consumers Energy rebate or a manufacturer promotion. Every installation includes manufacturer equipment warranties and our own labor guarantee.
