Prolonging the Life of the Air Conditioner:
Different Types of AC Installations Available
You can rely on Hoffmann Brother to install the following AC systems in your St Louis home:
- Ductless Air Conditioner Installation: Ductless AC systems are becoming much more popular in the St Louis and Metro East area homes. These air conditioners are installed without ductwork. They are great to put in a home when you are adding on a home addition, sun room, or not getting enough air flow to the 2nd or 3rd floor.
- Heat Pump Installation: Heat Pumps can provide both air conditioning and heating for your home. Heat Pumps transfer heat inside and outside your home. Heat Pumps are very quiet in their operation and environmentally friendly.
Hoffmann Brothers also provides Geothermal AC installations and Commercial Split System installation.
Preparing for AC Unit Installation in St Louis
Here are some options that you should consider when purchasing an air conditioner:
- Properly Sizing the Equipment: Undersized equipment, ductwork, and refrigeration piping can affect the functionality of your air conditioner. Make sure the contractor you receive pricing from performs a full load calculation on your home. Hoffmann Brothers’ Project Managers perform a full load calculation at every estimate to take into effect all the windows and doors and the square footage of your home.
- SEER Rating: Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER Rating) is the efficiency rating of the air conditioner. The higher the SEER the more efficient the air conditioner and the lower your monthly bill will be.
- Single vs. 2 Stage Air Conditioners: Air Conditioners are available in single stage or two stage units. Two stage air conditioners are more efficient (lower electric bill) and provide better humidity removal. If you plan on being in your house for more than 5-years we recommend a two stage AC unit.
- Zoning Capabilities: Zoning systems are installed to even out hot and cold spots in a home. A two story home is a perfect application for zoning. A zoning system allows for a thermostat on each story without the need for multiple AC systems.

Air Conditioning Installation Frequently Asked Questions
The price to install an AC in your home depends on the desired system, model, brand, size of your home, and other factors. Our certified technicians will discuss the options available to you and will make sure to apply any rebates, discounts, incentives, financing and tax credits to the final price.
Central AC is a good choice if your home already has ductwork, while a split AC system (known as Ductless AC) is a wise choice if you don’t have ductwork or if you’re adding a new addition to the home. A split AC system also runs at a high efficiency, which can save you money in energy savings in the long term.
Proper installation of your AC is vital to the efficiency and durability of your system. Improper installation could lead to inefficiencies like air loss through ductwork. Call upon our licensed technicians to properly install any AC system for your home.
