"They were extremely professional! When I called in, I spoke with Tim who was so kind and attentive and mentioned he would come out with his dad, Sam to do the job. When they came out to my home, they did not waste time and immediately got to work finding out how to best tackle getting my new ac installed and asked a lot of questions to make sure what I had before performed to best find out how a new system would help me. They took measurements and sent estimates over so I could have options which I loved, and came out a day later to install and was done in that same day. They even came back to check on me and the system a week later which I appreciated! I am excited to be apart of their Diagnostic Cares Program!"

"Broke electrical line to yard light. Said they are not responsible. Also, someone there said to call back to arrange to get it fixed. When I did, was told they do not do electrical work in Champaign. My wife had informed the technician of underground wire before work began. In addition, can not close closet door because of Jack hammering that was done. As a result, dust was all throughout the house."

"Both the estimator Kevin the two installers who visited my home were very professional and kind. They answered all my questions and provided a very reasonable price for the installation of the attic insulation. I feel I was very informed on the federal rebate that was available for this installation, as well as on the recommendations of quantity of insulation I needed per residential standards and codes. I would recommend Anton and will use them in the future for my HVAC needs!"

Central a/c installations FAQs

If you’re replacing an old AC system with a new unit, you can usually clean and repair the old ductwork without having to conduct a full replacement. Cleaning HVAC ducts typically costs around $400, while repairs range from $200 to $1,000. In contrast, installing new ductwork can range from $1,000 to $5,000, making it far more costly than cleaning or fixing existing ducts. HVAC installation costs an average of $7,000 to replace a full system, so staying on top of maintenance and repairs is important.

AC cost efficiency depends on the size of your space and your long-term plans for your home. If you only need to cool a small area, a portable AC unit has a low upfront cost. Heat pumps are typically the most cost-effective option if you want to cool an entire home or improve the resale value. They provide strong cooling while being energy-efficient, which saves you money on your utility bills compared to most other AC types.

Installing a central AC unit typically takes four to eight hours if your home already has ductwork in place. However, if new ductwork needs to be installed, this can add another one to two days of labor to your project.
