See your exact range in 60 seconds No phone number required. What's included in your install
Every Clear the Air installation includes the labor and accessories below, no surprise line items, no nickel-and-diming after the truck arrives.
Included in every install
- Remove and dispose of your old system, responsibly recycled where possible.
- Flush the existing refrigerant line set or install a new one (AC and heat pump installs).
- Reconnect the gas line and pressure-test for leaks (furnace installs).
- Reconnect to your existing ductwork with new sealed transitions.
- Pull permits and schedule final inspection with the city or county, we handle the paperwork.
- Commission and test the full system: airflow, refrigerant charge, combustion analysis on gas equipment.
- Walk you through the new thermostat and system before we leave. We don't just hand you a manual.
- Clean up drop cloths, old materials, packaging, your house looks better than when we arrived.
Quoted separately if needed
These items aren't always required. When they are, you'll see them on the same written quote, itemized, never bundled in or surprised on you later.
- New or replacement ductwork. If existing ducts are leaking, undersized, or crushed, we'll quote repair vs. full replacement.
- Electrical service upgrade. Older panels sometimes need a heavier breaker or new whip to support a high-efficiency unit.
- Major attic or crawlspace work. Building a new platform, pulling permits for structural changes, or re-routing.
- Smart thermostat or zoning. Optional upgrades, we quote the equipment and pro install on the same line.
- Indoor air quality add-ons. UV, MERV-13 cabinet, dehumidifier, or ERV. All optional, all itemized.
- Sales tax and pricing details, disclosed up front, never hidden in the totals.
