Expert AC Installation in the Inland Empire
A new air conditioner is a big purchase, and the unit matters less than how it's sized and installed. Sanborn's has been installing cooling systems in Redlands homes since 1949, from older houses near downtown with original ductwork to newer builds out toward the east side. We size every system to your actual home, not a generic chart, and walk you through your options before you spend a dollar.
We also help with financing, since most people don't have a new AC budgeted for the year it happens to fail.
What Our AC Installation Covers
Before recommending anything, we calculate the proper size for your home based on square footage, insulation, window exposure, and ductwork condition. An oversized system short cycles and wears out fast. An undersized one runs constantly and still can't keep up on the hottest days, which happens often here.
Once you've chosen a system, we remove the old equipment, install the new unit, connect refrigerant lines and electrical, and test the full system under load before we leave. If your ductwork is leaking or undersized for the new equipment, we'll tell you that too, since a great AC unit connected to bad ducts will never perform the way it should.

Signs It's Time to Replace Instead of Repair
-
Your AC is more than twelve to fifteen years old.
Older systems lose efficiency every year and often use refrigerant that's becoming harder to source, which makes repairs more expensive than they used to be.
-
You've called for repairs more than once this year.
At some point, a system that needs constant attention costs more to keep alive than to replace.
-
Your energy bills keep climbing even with the same usage.
Aging compressors and worn components have to work harder to deliver the same cooling, and that shows up on your power bill every month.
-
Some rooms are never comfortable no matter what you do.
Sometimes this is ductwork, but often it means your current system was never sized correctly for your home in the first place.
