I've been in the trades since I was 15, looking for opportunities to grow my buisness after moving to a new area recently. We generally are a group of full time contractors, engineers and project managers that like to get our hands dirty. We work fast, do everything in house, work flexible hours and pride ourselves on affordable pricing.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Emerald Bay Design and Construction for a major renovation project, and I couldn't be more impressed with the craftsmanship. From start to finish, they demonstrated a deep understanding of design and construction techniques, delivering outstanding results that exceeded my expectations. Richard took the time to understand my vision and translated it into a beautifully crafted reality. Communication was clear and timely throughout the process and I received my bid back quickly and accurately. Overall, I would highly recommend Emerald Bay Design and Construction to anyone looking for a design and construction company. I am thrilled with the results of my project and look forward to working with them again in the future."

"Technician Jim was not impressive. Was not confident when answering the questions I asked. Very contradicting.. Tried to sell product for items that were not even in need of repair. Spoke negatively about the company and made excuses as to why he could not perform his job due to lack of information from dispatch or technician manager. Said he would follow up, I never heard from him. Blessing to me, I decided to go with another HVAC company. I typically would not put names out there, but please be careful if you get this gentleman as a technician."

"I would recommend getting quotes from other companies and going with them. I had my AC replaced and they guaranteed the work. My system kept failing and I would have to keep calling them over every few months to service it and the charges kept pilling up. I contact another company and they were able to fix it for a fraction of the cost (about 10%) and we have not had any issues for over a year. Thielmann group seems like a bunch of inexperienced people that try to milk you for money. I complained and someone from the company called me directly and was very aggressive and unprofessional on the phone. Do yourself a favor and find a different company for your needs. I regretted going to them. My family suffered on several hot summer days and cold winter nights because things kept failing."

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.
