Who Needs a New Cooling System?

You may need a new cooling system for several reasons. Some homeowners are replacing outdated or broken-down units. Others are moving into homes without central air and need a complete system installed from scratch. Some are upgrading from window units or adding cooling to newly renovated spaces.

Here are the most common situations that call for a new cooling system installation:

New construction

If you are building a new home in Belgrade, now is the time to install the right system. We work with builders, contractors, and homeowners to size and install cooling systems for long-term efficiency.

Major renovations or home additions

If you are adding square footage, your existing system may no longer be large enough. We can install a system that covers the new layout or add zoning for independent control.

Replacing an old or inefficient system

Air conditioners lose performance as they age. If your system is over 12 years old or constantly in need of repair, replacement is often the better investment.

Upgrading from window units

Central air or ductless mini-split systems offer better comfort, control, and energy savings than window ACs. We install both types depending on your home’s layout.

First-time central air installation

If your home does not have a central cooling system, we can install one that fits your space and budget.

Improving indoor air quality

IF YOU’RE CONCERNED ABOUT ALLERGIES, DUST, OR POOR AIR QUALITY, WE OFFER SOLUTIONS LIKE AIR PURIFIERS, HUMIDIFIERS, AND ADVANCED FILTRATION SYSTEMS.

Whatever your situation, Polar Aire has the tools and experience to install the cooling system that fits your home and your needs.

Our Cooling Installation Process

We follow a clear process to ensure your new cooling system is sized, installed, and tested correctly. Every step is done by licensed HVAC technicians who understand Belgrade’s climate, construction styles, and code requirements.

Home evaluation and load calculation
We inspect your home to assess insulation, square footage, ceiling height, window placement, and sun exposure. Then we run a Manual J load calculation to determine exactly how much cooling your home needs. This prevents over- or under-sizing, which can reduce performance and waste energy.

System sizing and equipment selection
We help you choose the right system based on the results of the load calculation. This includes equipment brand, SEER rating, and features like variable-speed operation or zoning.

Full installation
Our team removes any old equipment and installs the new system, including the condenser, evaporator coil, refrigerant lines, drain line, and thermostat. We handle all electrical and safety components in compliance with state and local codes.

Thermostat setup
We install a new thermostat or connect your existing one. We program and test it to make sure your system operates correctly and responds to your preferred settings.

Final testing and walkthrough
We test the entire system after installation. We measure airflow, confirm cooling output, and check for leaks or wiring issues. Then we walk you through your new system and explain how to maintain it going forward.

This process ensures that your new system operates at peak efficiency from day one.

Types of Cooling Systems We Install

Polar Aire installs a range of residential cooling systems based on your home’s structure, ductwork setup, and cooling needs.

 

Central air conditioning systems

These systems cool your entire home through a duct network. Ideal for homes with existing ductwork or new builds where ducts can be installed properly.

 

Ductless mini-split systems

Perfect for homes without ducts, additions, or rooms that need independent temperature control. These systems are quiet, efficient, and quick to install.

 

Heat pumps (cooling only or dual-function)

Heat pumps offer both cooling and heating in one system. In Montana, they work well in spring, summer, and fall, and can reduce the workload on your furnace.

 

We only install systems from trusted manufacturers with proven track records. Our goal is to install reliable, efficient systems that hold up over time.

Why Proper Installation Matters

A new air conditioner is only as good as the quality of its installation. Many long-term problems start with poor setup. Undersized systems will not keep up in summer. Oversized systems cycle too quickly and fail early. Incorrect refrigerant levels reduce cooling power and stress the compressor. Poor airflow from bad ductwork or improper static pressure causes uneven temperatures and high energy bills.

That is why our installation process includes:

 

  • Accurate sizing and load calculations

  • Verified airflow measurements

  • Precise refrigerant charging

  • Secure and insulated line sets

  • Verified electrical and drain connections

  • Proper system startup and commissioning

 

Skipping these steps leads to performance issues, higher energy use, and a shorter equipment life. We do the job right from the start so you avoid those problems altogether.
