Kinsey Plumbing, Heating & Air installs new central air conditioning in Lakeway homes, sizing and setting up each system so it cools the rooms it serves evenly and efficiently for years. If your current unit keeps breaking down, costs too much to run, or never kept part of the house comfortable, replacing it the right way is how you stop paying for the same problem every summer.
Call us if your air conditioner is old enough that repairs come every season, the refrigerant it uses has become expensive to top off, the bedrooms on one level stay muggy while the rest of the house is fine, the unit runs all afternoon and still loses ground, your cooling bills keep climbing from one year to the next, you are finishing or adding space that the current system was never meant to cover, a technician has told you the compressor or coil has failed, or the outdoor unit has become loud enough to hear indoors.
Kinsey installs are performed by licensed HVAC technicians, priced at a flat rate you approve in writing, and backed by warranties beyond what the industry typically offers. Estimates for new systems are free, so send us a note through our contact page or schedule one online using Schedule Now.

A new air conditioner only performs as well as the planning behind it. Before recommending equipment, we look at the size and layout of the space it will cool, the condition of the existing ductwork, how much sun the house takes, the insulation and windows, and where the current system has fallen short. An oversized unit cools quickly but leaves the air clammy and cycles too often, while an undersized one never catches up. Getting the capacity right matters more than any feature on the spec sheet.
From there, you get a written proposal with a flat price and the equipment options that fit your home and budget. If your current system can reasonably be repaired, we will tell you that before you spend money on a new one. When replacement is the right call, we explain why in plain language and let you compare choices without any sales pressure. Our installers set the new equipment, connect it to the ducts and controls, check the refrigerant charge and airflow, and test the system under real operating conditions before they leave.
A few local facts often shape these jobs. Many homes in this area are larger houses built from the 1980s through the 2000s, so the ductwork may be as old as the original system and worth inspecting during the replacement. Houses here frequently run two or more systems, one per floor or wing, and each needs to be sized for the area it actually serves. Long Central Texas summers that often reach past 100 degrees mean the new unit will carry a heavy load for months at a time.

The technician who scopes your project oversees the install and remains your contact once the new system is running.
A correctly sized and installed air conditioner keeps every room it serves close to the thermostat setting, pulls humidity out of the air so the house feels crisp rather than damp, and runs in steady cycles that are easier on the equipment. Your summer power bills should drop compared with an aging unit, and the system should go years without the constant service calls you may be used to. On a house with more than one system, a balanced setup means each level holds its own instead of borrowing from the other.
Holding onto a failing unit has real costs. Older equipment uses more electricity for the same cooling, repairs pile up season after season, and a breakdown in the middle of a heat wave leaves you making a large decision under pressure, with fewer choices and longer waits. Replacing on your schedule, before a total failure, gives you time to compare options and plan the expense.
After the installation, we walk you through the new system, show you how to use the thermostat, explain the warranty coverage, and tell you what routine care will keep it running well. We also register the equipment where applicable and leave you with the paperwork in one place. If you have questions in the weeks that follow, you already know who to call.
