Step 1 of 3: Equipment

What kind of equipment?*

A contractor sizing or installing central AC here starts with the house and its load, not a weather calendar. 22 severe weather events were recorded in Webster County, Georgia between 2015 and 2024. At that rate, severe weather is an occasional event in Webster County rather than a standing condition, which means it rarely explains why a system underperforms or fails early. Age, original equipment selection, and how cleanly the refrigerant lines and ductwork were run are what a contractor checks first. A poor install strains a system far more than the weather this county typically asks it to carry.

Ductwork laid down for older cooling equipment carries assumptions about airflow, routing, and load that a modern central AC system does not share. Half the homes in Webster County, Georgia were built in 1987 or earlier (2020-2024 ACS 5-year). A contractor installing a new system in stock this old has to assess whether the existing ducts will move enough air to match the new unit's output, and whether the electrical service the house was wired with will carry the draw. If either falls short, the duct runs or the panel become part of the job before the equipment question is settled.

What Gets Installed With a New Central AC

The outdoor condenser unit sits on a concrete pad outside the house and holds the compressor and condenser coil, which are the core of the system. Inside, the air handler mounts in a utility closet, attic, or basement and pulls household air across the evaporator coil to cool it before sending it back through the vents.

The two units connect through a pair of refrigerant lines that run between the outdoor pad and the indoor air handler. A thermostat mounts on an interior wall and serves as the control point, telling the system when to run and when to stop.

The drawing shows a typical layout, and a licensed contractor determines exactly what goes where in your house.
