Living in Chicago means dealing with hot and humid summers, so having a properly installed central air conditioning system is essential for comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind. At Master Heating & Cooling, we specialize in central air installation in Chicago, providing professional service that ensures your central air runs smoothly and efficiently for years to come.
Many homeowners consider installing a central air unit themselves to save money, but improper sizing and setup often lead to poor performance, higher utility bills, and costly repairs. Our licensed technicians handle every detail of your central air installation, ensuring your system is set up to manufacturer standards for peak performance and longevity.
From wiring and refrigerant levels to permits and inspections, we take care of the entire process—so you don’t have to. When you choose Master Heating & Cooling, you’re not just getting a new central air conditioner—you’re investing in quality, safety, and long-term home comfort.
If you’re wondering whether it’s time to replace your existing system, here are some clear signs that it may be time to upgrade your central air:
Frequent Repairs: Constant breakdowns often signal a system that’s on its last legs. Investing in a new central air unit can save you time and money.
Old System: If your central air conditioning system is over 10–15 years old, it’s likely less efficient and more prone to failure.
Higher Energy Bills: Rising utility costs may indicate that your current central air conditioner is no longer running efficiently.
Uneven Cooling: Hot and cold spots throughout your home could mean your central air can’t keep up with your needs.
R-22 Refrigerant: If your system uses outdated R-22 refrigerant, replacing it is often the smartest—and most cost-effective—choice.
Our team at Master Heating & Cooling will help you determine whether a new central air installation is the right move and guide you through every step of the upgrade.
Selecting the right central air conditioner is a key part of ensuring long-term comfort and energy savings. Here’s how we help you make the best decision:
Accurate Sizing: We calculate your home’s cooling needs to recommend the right size central air conditioning unit—avoiding energy waste and underperformance.
Energy Efficiency: We prioritize systems with high SEER ratings to reduce both your carbon footprint and utility bills.
Budget-Friendly Options: Whether you’re looking for top-tier performance or cost-effective cooling, we’ll help you find a solution that fits your budget and may even qualify for local incentives or rebates.
System Type Guidance: From traditional central air units to hybrid systems, we help you choose the right technology for your lifestyle.

Here’s what our thorough central air installation process looks like:
We begin by evaluating your home’s size, insulation, and cooling needs. This helps us determine the ideal central air conditioner size and type. Our experts guide you through the options to select the most efficient and budget-friendly solution.
If replacing an existing unit, we safely disconnect and remove your old system. Then we prepare the area for the new central air unit, ensuring everything is up to code and ready for a secure fit.
Our technicians install the indoor evaporator coil and connect it to your existing furnace or air handler. We also place the outdoor central air conditioning unit on a stable surface, securing it against Chicago’s unpredictable weather.
We run insulated refrigerant lines between the indoor and outdoor units, connect the electrical wiring, and double-check every component for safety and efficiency.
Next, we vacuum the lines to remove air and moisture, then charge the system with the proper amount of refrigerant. We run comprehensive tests to ensure your central air conditioning is cooling effectively and efficiently.
We perform a final inspection to ensure your central air installation meets all safety codes and city regulations. Then we walk you through your new system and share tips on maintenance and energy-saving features.
Whether you’re replacing an outdated system or installing a brand-new central air conditioning system, Master Heating & Cooling is the name to trust in Chicago. Let our team help you find the right solution to keep your home cool, efficient, and comfortable all summer long.
Central air refers to a cooling system that uses a single unit to cool your entire home through a network of ducts. It includes both an indoor air handler (usually connected to your furnace) and an outdoor compressor unit, working together to distribute cool air evenly throughout your living space.
The cost of central air installation in Chicago typically ranges from $4,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of your home, the system’s efficiency, and whether ductwork needs to be added or updated. We offer free in-home estimates and can help you explore financing options and local rebates to make it more affordable.
Central air conditioning systems use about 3,000 to 5,000 watts per hour during operation, depending on the system size and efficiency rating. Energy usage also depends on how often the system runs and how well your home is insulated. Choosing a high-SEER unit and maintaining it regularly can help reduce your electricity bill.
The right size central air conditioner depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, ceiling height, and other factors like sun exposure and window placement. A general rule is 20 BTUs per square foot, but we perform detailed load calculations to determine the ideal system size for maximum comfort and efficiency.
If your central air conditioner isn’t working, common causes include a tripped breaker, dirty air filter, thermostat issues, or low refrigerant. More serious problems could involve the compressor, capacitor, or wiring. Our technicians can diagnose the issue quickly and get your system back up and running.
