Why Choose QC Mechanical
The Smart Way to Install a New AC
High-Efficiency Systems
Modern AC units use up to 50% less energy than systems from 10-15 years ago. Lower your bills from day one.
Flexible Financing Available
Affordable monthly payments make upgrading easy. Ask about our current financing options with your free quote.
Eco-Friendly Refrigerants
New systems use R-410A or R-32 refrigerant, replacing the R-22 that is being phased out and increasingly expensive to service.
Built for the Pacific NW
We size and configure every system for Washington's unique climate. No cookie-cutter installations.
Manufacturer Warranties
New systems come with comprehensive manufacturer warranties plus our own workmanship guarantee for total peace of mind.
Stop Wasting on Repairs
If your aging system needs frequent repairs, a new unit pays for itself through reliability and energy savings.
Installation Options
AC Installation Solutions for Every Home
Every home is different. Whether you live in a 1940s Craftsman in Tacoma, a split-level in Federal Way, or a new build in Bonney Lake, we tailor the installation to your property and comfort goals.
Central Air Installation
Whether you are adding central AC to a home that has never had it or replacing an aging unit, we handle the full process including proper sizing, refrigerant line work, electrical connections, and thermostat setup. Ideal for homes with existing ductwork in good condition.
Ductless Mini-Split Installation
Perfect for homes without ductwork, room additions, or zoned comfort. As a Mitsubishi Diamond Dealer, we specialize in multi-zone ductless systems that let you control temperatures room by room with industry-leading efficiency.
Heat Pump Systems
Install a heat pump that provides both cooling and heating in one system. Extremely efficient in the Pacific Northwest climate, heat pumps can dramatically reduce your reliance on electric or gas heating while keeping you cool all summer.
Full System with New Ductwork
If your ductwork is old, leaky, or undersized — or if your home has none at all — we design and install both the equipment and the ducts. Proper duct design is critical to getting the most out of a new AC system.

AC Installation Designed for the Pacific Northwest
Installing an air conditioning system is one of the most impactful home improvements you can make. In the Puget Sound region, where summer temperatures have been trending higher year over year, a properly sized, high-efficiency AC system is no longer a luxury. It is an essential part of keeping your family comfortable and safe during heat events that are becoming more common in Tacoma, Seattle, Puyallup, Federal Way, and surrounding areas.
QC Mechanical has been installing AC systems across King County, Pierce County, Kitsap County, and Thurston County for over 25 years. Our NATE-certified installation teams understand the nuances of cooling homes in the Pacific Northwest. Many homes in this region were built before air conditioning was standard, which means retrofitting requires expertise in load calculation, ductwork design, and equipment selection that generic installers often get wrong.
As a Mitsubishi Diamond Dealer, we have access to the full lineup of Mitsubishi ductless and ducted systems, which are among the most efficient on the market. We also install American Standard and RunTru by Trane equipment. Rather than pushing a single brand, we match the right system to your home. A two-story house in Lakewood has very different cooling needs than a rambler in Lacey or a condo in downtown Seattle. Our approach starts with understanding your property and ends with a system that delivers reliable, efficient comfort for years to come.
Every installation includes a detailed load calculation, professional installation by factory-trained technicians, proper permitting, removal and disposal of any existing equipment, system commissioning and testing, and a thorough walkthrough so you understand how to operate your new system. We offer flexible financing to make the investment manageable, and every installation is backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranties plus our own workmanship guarantee.
Whether you are installing a central air system for the first time, converting from window units to a whole-home solution, replacing an aging AC that has reached the end of its life, or adding ductless zoning to specific rooms, QC Mechanical handles the entire process from consultation to completion. Our goal is to make the installation process simple, transparent, and stress-free for homeowners across the Puget Sound.

Customer Success Stories
Homeowners Love Their New AC Systems
“We upgraded from an old system to a Mitsubishi ductless setup. The difference in comfort and our energy bills is night and day. QC Mechanical walked us through every option and never pushed us toward the most expensive one.”
Angela & Steve D.
“Our 20-year-old system finally gave out. QC Mechanical recommended an American Standard unit that fit our budget. The old system was out and the new one was running the same day. Very impressed.”
Patricia S.
“We needed a brand new AC system for our home in Puyallup — it had never had one. QC Mechanical had everything installed on schedule. The system is quiet, efficient, and perfectly sized for our layout.”

AC Installation FAQs
AC installation costs vary based on your home size, system type, and installation complexity. Central air systems typically range from several thousand to over ten thousand dollars installed. Ductless mini-splits may cost more or less depending on the number of zones. Your free quote includes exact pricing with no hidden fees.
Most standard AC installations are completed in one day. If your installation involves new ductwork, a system type change (for example, from central to ductless), or other modifications, it may take 1-2 days. We will give you a clear timeline during your consultation.
We are a Mitsubishi Diamond Dealer and also install American Standard and RunTru by Trane. Each brand has strengths depending on your needs. Mitsubishi excels in ductless and heat pump applications, while American Standard and Trane offer excellent central air options. We recommend based on your home and budget, not brand preference.
Yes, we offer flexible financing options that make new-system investment affordable with manageable monthly payments. We will discuss all available financing plans during your free consultation so you can choose what works best for your budget.
Yes. Modern high-efficiency AC systems (16+ SEER2 rated) use significantly less energy than older units. Most homeowners see noticeable savings on their monthly cooling costs, especially when replacing a system that is 10-15+ years old or when adding AC to a home that previously cooled with window units.
QC Mechanical provides AC installation across King, Pierce, Kitsap, and Thurston counties. This includes Tacoma, Seattle, Olympia, Puyallup, Federal Way, Kent, Auburn, Lakewood, Bonney Lake, Bremerton, Silverdale, Lacey, Tumwater, University Place, Gig Harbor, and all surrounding communities throughout the Puget Sound region.
Absolutely. Many Pacific Northwest homes were built without air conditioning. We specialize in adding cooling to these homes, whether through central air with new ductwork, a ductless mini-split system, or a heat pump. Our in-home consultation helps determine the best approach for your specific home.
Absolutely. Ductless mini-splits are one of the most popular installation options in the Pacific Northwest, especially for older homes without existing ductwork. They offer zoned comfort, excellent efficiency, and work as both heating and cooling systems. As a Mitsubishi Diamond Dealer, we install the top-rated ductless systems on the market.
Proper sizing is critical. An oversized system short-cycles and wastes energy, while an undersized system runs constantly without keeping you comfortable. Our technicians perform a load calculation that factors in your home size, insulation, window orientation, and the specific climate conditions in your part of the Puget Sound region.
Yes. We handle all necessary permits required by your local jurisdiction. Proper permitting ensures your installation meets code, protects your warranty, and avoids issues if you sell your home in the future. This is included in our service at no extra cost.
We handle everything. Our crew disconnects and removes your old equipment, recovers any remaining refrigerant per EPA regulations, and disposes of the unit responsibly. You do not need to arrange separate disposal or cleanup.
