Cool Comfort, Installed Right in the Rio Grande Valley
Air Conditioner Installation & Replacement
Whether you’re replacing a failing system or upgrading for efficiency, Treviño Repairs installs central AC, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits sized correctly for your home or business. We confirm capacity and airflow (load/duct checks), set clear options (SEER2 efficiencies, heat pump vs. AC), and complete clean, code-compliant installs—pad and set, line set and drains, electrical/disconnects, thermostat wiring, and start-up commissioning—so your new system cools reliably in RGV heat.
Cool Air, Done Right—RGV Wide
Services for Air Conditioner Installation
We design and install AC systems that balance comfort, efficiency, and budget. After a quick load/airflow review, we help you choose central AC, heat pump, or ductless, specify the right indoor coil/air handler, and plan any duct or electrical updates. On install day we protect the work area, remove the old equipment, set the new condenser on a stable pad, connect line set and drains, make clean electrical/controls connections, and commission the system to manufacturer specs—so your AC is ready for a long, hot RGV season.
We install & replace:
- Central AC (split systems) & heat pumps (cooling + heating)
- Ductless mini-splits (single & multi-zone)
- Air handlers / furnaces with coils, matching indoor units
- Thermostats (smart-ready wiring/adapter as needed)
- Condensate solutions: traps, float switches, pumps, drain line routing
Code items & best practices (as applicable):
- Proper pad/anchoring, clearances, vibration isolation
- New/disinfected line set or verified flush; nitrogen pressure test & deep vacuum before charge
- Correct breaker/disconnect/whip sizing and dedicated circuit
- Start-up commissioning (superheat/subcooling, delta-T, airflow checks)
- Condensate safety (primary/secondary drains, float switch, clean trap)
Upgrades & options:
- SEER2 efficiency choices and heat pump conversions
- Duct repairs/sealing, return air adds, and balancing
- Surge protection for condensers; hard-start kits where appropriate
- High-MERV filtration, media cabinets, UV/IAQ accessories (on request)
Sizing, SEER2 & Ductwork—What Matters Most
Comfort starts with right-sizing—an oversized unit short-cycles (hot/cold swings), while undersized runs constantly and struggles on 100° days. We review load basics and duct static pressure so the blower and coil get the airflow they need. Next, choose your efficiency: SEER2 ratings indicate seasonal performance; higher SEER2 can lower bills and improve comfort when paired with good airflow and installation practices. Finally, consider heat pump vs. AC—modern heat pumps cool like AC and can heat efficiently in mild winters, often reducing gas use. Commissioning (superheat/subcooling, airflow, drain checks) locks in these gains for your Rio Grande Valley home or business.

When to Replace Your AC Instead of Repair
Frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, uneven cooling, loud or failing compressors/fans, repeated refrigerant leaks, rusted or damaged coils, or systems using R-22 are strong replacement candidates. If the repair cost is high and the unit is older or inefficient, an upgrade to a properly sized SEER2 system (or a heat pump) can cut operating costs and improve comfort. We’ll compare repair vs. replace with clear pricing so you can choose confidently.
What to Expect with Treviño Repairs
Our Air Conditioner Installation Process
Assess & Options. Confirm capacity/airflow needs, discuss SEER2 and AC vs. heat pump, review duct/electrical/condensate details, and provide clear pricing.
Protect & Prep. Shoe covers, drop cloths, safe power/fuel shutoffs, and staging for a clean install.
Remove Old Equipment. Recover refrigerant, disconnect electrical/line set/drains, and haul away the old unit neatly.
Set Equipment. Level the pad, set the condenser, install the indoor coil/air handler, and verify clearances/support.
Piping, Drains & Power. Install/flush line set, braze with nitrogen purge, pressure test, pull deep vacuum; route and trap drains with float safety; set breaker/disconnect/whip and thermostat wiring.
Charge & Commission. Charge per manufacturer specs, verify superheat/subcooling, delta-T, blower speed/airflow, and quiet operation.
Clean Up & Walkthrough. Tidy the area, review filter/drain care and thermostat basics, and document model/serials for your records.
Real Stories. Real Results.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Air Conditioner Installation Questions, Answered
Straightforward answers before you book—symptoms, costs, fixes.
How long does AC installation take?
Most like-for-like replacements are completed in a day. Duct changes, electrical upgrades, or multi-zone ductless installs can add time; we’ll outline the schedule up front. garages is the better fit. We’ll recommend the right mix for your home.
Do I need new ductwork?
Not always. We test airflow/static pressure and recommend sealing, returns, or repairs only if they’ll improve comfort and protect the new system.
Is a heat pump better than an AC in the RGV?
Heat pumps cool like AC and add efficient heating for mild winters. We’ll compare energy costs, comfort, and incentives to see if it’s a fit.
What SEER2 should I choose?
That depends on usage and budget. Higher SEER2 can lower bills and improve comfort—most value comes from proper installation and commissioning paired with the right rating.
Will you reuse my line set?
If the existing line set is the correct size and in good condition, we’ll flush and verify; otherwise we’ll replace it. Either way, we pressure-test and pull a deep vacuum before charging.
