AC Installation in Kentwood, MI

Kentwood homes run their air conditioners hard from June through September. The older units in Cutlerville and the first-generation systems in East Kentwood's 2000s-era subdivisions are reaching replacement age. If your Kentwood home needs a new AC, Mazure's Heating & Air Conditioning will size it right, install it properly, and give you a fair price. We've been doing this since 1987. Call Mike at (616) 669-8085 for a free estimate.

We regularly serve homes in Cutlerville, East Kentwood — near Woodland Mall and East Kentwood High School. Our Jenison headquarters puts us just 18 minutes from our Jenison shop, which means convenient scheduling for appointments and installations.

Air conditioners in Kentwood have a typical lifespan of 15 to 20 years. In Cutlerville, where many homes have AC units installed in the early 2000s or even the late 1990s, replacement time has arrived or is close. In East Kentwood's newer subdivisions, original equipment from the mid-2000s is now approaching that 20-year mark.

The signs are familiar. Your electric bills keep climbing even though you haven't changed your habits. The AC needs a repair every summer. It runs all day on a 90-degree afternoon and the house never gets below 78. One room is 10 degrees warmer than another. The outdoor unit sounds like it's struggling.

Systems using R-22 refrigerant are especially expensive to maintain. R-22 has been phased out of production, and the remaining supply costs a premium. A single refrigerant recharge can run $400 to $600. At that point, the money is better invested in a new system that uses current refrigerant.

Not every aging AC needs immediate replacement. If your Kentwood home's unit is 12 years old and only needs a minor repair, we'll fix it and tell you honestly that it has more life in it. We don't create urgency where none exists.

Kentwood's housing ranges from 1,000-square-foot Cutlerville ranches to 3,000-square-foot East Kentwood colonials. A one-size-fits-all approach to AC sizing doesn't work across that range.

We run a Manual J load calculation on every Kentwood AC installation. This accounts for square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, window area and orientation, number of occupants, and ductwork characteristics. The result is the precise tonnage your home needs.

In Cutlerville's older homes, insulation is often less effective than in newer construction. Older windows lose more heat. These factors affect the cooling load. A Cutlerville ranch might need more cooling capacity per square foot than an equally sized East Kentwood home with modern insulation and windows.

Ductwork is the other variable. Cutlerville homes often have original ductwork from the 1960s or 1970s that may be leaky, undersized, or poorly routed. We evaluate the ducts during the estimate. Installing a high-efficiency AC on leaky ductwork wastes a significant percentage of the cooling output. We'd rather address duct issues during the installation and give you a system that actually performs.

East Kentwood homes generally have better ductwork, but even modern ducts can have issues. We check everything regardless of the home's age.

We install Carrier, Lennox, and other major brands in both the 14 SEER2 to 20 SEER2 efficiency range.

Central AC installation in Kentwood typically costs $4,000 to $8,000. A straightforward replacement with a mid-efficiency unit on existing good ductwork falls toward the lower end. A high-efficiency system with ductwork repairs or modifications approaches the upper end.

The installation itself takes one day for most Kentwood homes. Our crew arrives in the morning, removes the old outdoor condenser and indoor evaporator coil, installs the new equipment, connects the refrigerant lines, wires the thermostat, and tests everything. We verify airflow and temperature at every register in your house before we leave.

For Kentwood homes that have never had central AC, or where the ductwork needs significant work, the project may take a day and a half. We'll tell you the timeline during the estimate so you can plan accordingly.

We provide free in-home estimates throughout Kentwood. Mike drives to your home, whether it's on Division Avenue in Cutlerville or near Woodland Mall in East Kentwood, and gives you a written quote. No sales pressure. No expiring offers. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Federal tax credits up to $600 are available for qualifying high-efficiency AC systems. Heat pump systems, which we also install, qualify for up to $2,000. We'll explain both options during the estimate and let you decide what makes sense for your Kentwood home.

Financing is available for homeowners who prefer monthly payments over a lump sum.
