“Couldn’t be happier with Pacific Peak Mechanical. The install was clean and fast, the crew was respectful of the house, and everything was hauled away and tidied up before they left. The new system runs quiet and the house has never been this comfortable.”

What an AC install includes.

An AC install from Pacific Peak includes a Manual J load calculation that sizes the system to your actual home, a matched outdoor condenser and indoor evaporator coil, a properly sized line-set, electrical, the permit, and full commissioning so the AC runs at its rated efficiency. Sizing matters because an oversized AC short-cycles, pulls less moisture out of the air, and leaves you clammy.

Why homeowners choose Pacific Peak.

Pacific Peak uses a direct-hire crew (no subcontractors), always pulls permits, and is an American Standard Authorized Dealer and Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor, licensed and bonded in Washington (Lic# PACIFPM742JC). Already have an AC that's acting up? See HVAC repair.

Common questions about AC installation.

How much does AC installation cost in Vancouver, WA?
An air-conditioning-only install for a home with a serviceable furnace typically runs about $7,400 to $16,800, depending on home size and efficiency tier. A full system or a heat pump that adds cooling costs more. Use our estimator for a real price range, or book a free in-home visit for a firm written quote.
Should I install an AC or a heat pump?
A heat pump cools exactly like an AC but also heats efficiently, so it can replace an aging furnace as your main heat. Do not count on a Clark PUD rebate to tip the choice: Clark PUD only pays to convert electric heat, and its ducted rebate is limited to contractors in the utility's own network, which we are not in. If your furnace is also aging, a heat pump is often the better long-term value. If your furnace is newer and you just need cooling, a straight AC makes sense. We'll lay out both options on-site.
What SEER2 rating should my AC be?
All new systems must meet current federal SEER2 minimums, and higher SEER2 means lower running costs. The right tier depends on how long you'll stay in the home and your budget. Our SEER2 guide explains what the numbers mean for your power bill.
How long does an AC installation take?
Most air conditioning installs are completed in a single day. We confirm the timeline in your written quote before any work begins.
