Air Conditioning

The summer of 2018 was one of the hottest on record—fourth in American history, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Get ready for the warm weather by having certified HVAC installers in Johnson City at Thompson Electrical Service install air conditioning in your home or business.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that 91 percent of homes built since 2000 have a main space heating system that includes central ducts for air conditioning.

Adding central air to your home is less expensive than you probably think

If you are looking to add central air to a home that already has an existing forced-air heating system with furnace ducts, you could save money by having Thompson Electrical Service retrofit your existing ducts, and add a new AC unit appropriate for the size of your home or business.  

At Thompson Electrical Service, we have the means to complete all our metal fabrication on site. Not only does this help keep our costs down, which we pass on to our customers, but it also allows any needed ductwork and vents to be constructed from the exact specifications of your home or business without any risk of the measurements being transposed or misinterpreted. Plus, we can get the job done faster.

How do I know which air conditioning unit is right for me?

Your cooling contractor in Kingsport at Thompson Electrical Service will work with you to determine the right size of the unit to cool your home or business. Choose a unit that is too small, and it will constantly run, and lead to expensive utility bills. Choose a unit that is too large, and you are spending extra money you did not need to spend—while also running up your power bill because it requires more electricity to run.

A heat-gain calculation will determine what size of unit you need. This calculation factors in the size of your home, how much insulation you have in your walls and attic, the size and placement of your windows and doors, and how your home is oriented with regard to the sun.

Thompson Electrical Service also will work with each client to determine the most efficient air conditioning unit that meets your needs. Each air conditioning unit has a seasonal energy-efficiency rating (SEER), determining how many BTUs an air conditioner removes for each watt of electricity consumed. Current federal regulations mandate that newly built air conditioners have a minimum SEER of 13. In general, a higher SEER rating means a higher-quality air conditioning unit.
