The Install That Gets the Flat Price
One head, one condenser, both on the ground floor and a wall apart. Here is what makes it the simplest job on the schedule — and what changes if your house says otherwise.
- Decides the flat price
- Existing circuit, already in the wall
- Standard scope on every install
- 1
Indoor head
Mounted high on the exterior wall of the room being cooled, so the lines go straight outside instead of traveling through the house.
- 2
Wall penetration
One 3-inch cored hole, sleeved and pitched slightly downward so nothing wicks back inside. Sealed and patched before we leave.
- 3
Line setFlat price
Insulated copper pair, control cable and drain, all inside a paintable cover down the outside wall. Under 15 ft is also what the factory refrigerant charge covers.
- 4
Condensate drain
Leaves with the line set and daylights at grade, pitched away from the foundation. No pump, no cutting into your plumbing.
- 5
Outdoor unit
On a stand at grade, directly below the head, set off the wall far enough for the airflow and service clearance the manufacturer calls for.
- 6
Power at the condenserFlat price
A 240V disconnect within sight of the unit, connected through a 6 ft flexible whip. The circuit has to already be there — the flat price is the mechanical install, not electrical work. Disconnect and breaker are sized to the unit's nameplate.
- 7
First floor, at gradeFlat price
Head and condenser on the same level. No ladder staging, no second-story line routing, no roof or balcony mount.
What Decides the $2,500 Flat Install
Three conditions. All three true and the mechanical installation is $2,500 flat. Any one of them false and we quote the work it actually takes — before we start, in writing. Electrical work is never inside the flat price; it is always its own line.
Line set under 15 ft
- Qualifies
- The condenser goes on the wall right outside the room.
- Does not
- Condenser around the corner or across the yard — longer line set and cover, added refrigerant, more labor.
240V power already at the condenser
- Qualifies
- An existing 240V circuit and disconnect already land where the condenser goes. We connect the whip and commission the system.
- Does not
- New dedicated circuit run from your panel, $950, plus your city's electrical permit at cost. Quoted as its own line — never folded into the flat install price.
The $2,500 covers installing the equipment — not electrical work. The mechanical permit ($250–$650, depending on city) and HERS verification ($250) are separate line items on every quote, passed through at what the city and the rater charge. They are in the total you see on the pricing table — not hidden behind it.
