New air conditioner installs sized and built right for Treasure Valley summers. High-efficiency systems, clean copper, no shortcuts.
When temperatures in the Treasure Valley push past 100 degrees in July and August, a properly sized and professionally installed air conditioning system is the difference between comfort and misery. At Mears Mechanical, we handle AC installations from start to finish — load calculations, equipment selection, ductwork evaluation, electrical coordination, and final commissioning — so your new system runs at peak efficiency from day one.
We install all major brands including Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Daikin, and Amana. Whether you need a straightforward replacement of an aging unit or a complete system design for new construction, our crew approaches every job with the same standard: sized right, installed clean, and built to handle Idaho's extreme summer heat without running up your power bill.
Every AC installation starts with a Manual J load calculation. This is not optional — it is the only way to determine the correct tonnage for your home or building. An oversized unit short-cycles, creates humidity problems, and wears out prematurely. An undersized unit runs nonstop and never reaches setpoint. We calculate based on square footage, insulation values, window orientation, duct losses, and local climate data specific to the Boise area.
Our installations include new line sets with nitrogen-brazed copper connections, proper evacuation to below 500 microns, factory-recommended refrigerant charge verified with superheat and subcooling measurements, and a full electrical inspection of disconnects, whips, and breaker sizing. We pull permits where required and schedule inspections so the work is code-compliant from the start.
We also evaluate your existing ductwork during every install. A brand-new condenser and coil connected to leaky, undersized ducts will never perform to its rated SEER. If your duct system needs sealing, resizing, or rerouting, we handle that as part of the project rather than leaving efficiency on the table.
Financing options are available for qualifying homeowners. We offer free on-site estimates with transparent pricing — no hidden fees, no pressure, no bait-and-switch games.

We visit your property, measure the space, evaluate existing ductwork and electrical, and perform a Manual J load calculation to determine correct equipment sizing.
Based on the assessment, we recommend equipment options at different efficiency tiers with transparent pricing. No pressure — take your time deciding.
Our crew installs the full system — condenser pad, line sets, evaporator coil, thermostat, electrical, and duct modifications if needed. Typical residential installs complete in one day.
We verify refrigerant charge, airflow, and electrical readings against manufacturer specs. Then we walk you through thermostat operation, filter maintenance, and warranty registration.
Most residential replacements are completed in a single day — usually 6 to 8 hours. New construction installs or jobs requiring significant duct work may take two days.
That depends on square footage, insulation, window area, duct condition, and other factors. We perform a Manual J load calculation on every job to determine the correct tonnage. Rules of thumb like '1 ton per 500 square feet' are unreliable.
Yes. We partner with lending providers to offer monthly payment options for qualifying homeowners. Ask during your free estimate for current rates and terms.
If your furnace is over 15 years old or showing signs of wear, bundling both replacements saves on labor and ensures matched equipment. We can advise during the assessment whether it makes sense for your situation.
