About this Service
A New AC System Done Right
Replacing your air conditioning system is one of the biggest home investments you’ll make — and one of the most impactful on your comfort and energy bills for years to come. At HighTech HVAC, we take that seriously. Every installation starts with a proper Manual J load calculation to make sure the system we recommend is the right size for your home, not just the easiest sale.
We install all major brands, work with your budget, and back every system with a full warranty on parts and labor. No pressure, no overselling — just honest guidance from a local team that will still be here if you need us five years from now.
Is It Time?
Signs You Need A New AC System
Your System is Over 10 Years Old
Most AC systems have a 10–15 year lifespan. Beyond that, efficiency drops significantly and repair costs start to outpace the value of keeping it running.
Repair Costs Exceeds Half of Replacement
The "5000 rule" — multiply the repair cost by the system's age. If the number exceeds $5,000, replacement is almost always the smarter financial decision.
Your System Uses R-22 Refrigerant
R-22 (Freon) was phased out in 2020. If your system still uses it, refills are extremely expensive and increasingly scarce — replacement is the only practical long-term option.
Energy Bills Are Climbing Every Summer
An aging, inefficient system works harder and harder to maintain temperature. A modern high-efficiency unit can cut your cooling costs by 30–50% compared to a system from 2010.
Frequent Breakdowns — Every Season
If you're calling for repairs every summer, you're funding a dying system. The cumulative cost of repeated repairs almost always exceeds the cost of a new installation.
Uneven Cooling Throughout The Home
Hot and cold spots, humidity problems, or rooms that never reach the right temperature often signal that your system is undersized, oversized, or simply worn out.
Your Options
AC System Types We Install
Central Air Conditioning
The most common system type for SC homes — a central AC paired with your existing ductwork cools the entire home from a single outdoor unit. We install split systems from all major manufacturers and handle duct inspection and sealing as part of every installation.
Heat Pump Systems
Heat pumps both cool and heat your home using a single system — making them exceptionally efficient in South Carolina's climate where temperatures rarely drop to extreme lows. Modern inverter-driven heat pumps are among the most energy-efficient systems available today.
Ductless Mini-Split Systems
Perfect for additions, converted spaces, or homes without existing ductwork. Mini-splits deliver zoned comfort — each indoor unit operates independently so you're only conditioning the spaces you're using. No ducts means no duct losses and no duct cleaning bills.
Packaged Units
All-in-one systems where the heating and cooling components are housed in a single outdoor cabinet — common in mobile homes, smaller residences, and homes with limited indoor equipment space. We stock and install packaged gas/electric and packaged heat pump units.
Don't Let Budget Hold You Back
Flexible Financing Options Available
A new AC system is a significant investment — we get that. That’s why we offer flexible financing plans that make it possible to get the right system today without waiting. Low monthly payments, competitive rates, and fast approvals.
How It Works
Our Installation Process
Free In-Home Assessment
We start with a no-obligation in-home visit to assess your space, evaluate your existing equipment and ductwork, and perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the correct system size. Getting sizing right is everything — an oversized or undersized unit will never perform properly, no matter the brand.
Honest Recommendation & Written Quote
We present your options clearly — typically two or three systems at different price/efficiency tiers — with a written quote for each. We explain the trade-offs, answer every question, and let you decide. No pressure, no inflated "good-better-best" packages designed to upsell you.
Scheduled Installation — Often Same Week
Once you approve the quote, we schedule your installation — often within the same week. For customers replacing a failed system in peak summer heat, we prioritize scheduling to get you comfortable as quickly as possible.
Professional Installation & Cleanup
Our certified technicians handle the complete removal of your old system, installation of the new equipment, refrigerant charging, electrical connections, thermostat setup, and full system commissioning. We treat your home with respect — protecting floors, cleaning up completely, and hauling away all old equipment.
Testing, Walkthrough & Warranty Registration
We test the system through a complete operating cycle, verify airflow and temperatures in every room, and walk you through the new equipment before we leave. We register your manufacturer warranty on your behalf so you're protected from day one.

Our AC Installations
EXCELLENT Based on 83 reviews Posted on TerryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emitte and tj are great guys they came in and got the job Done … they was very nice and respectful…. And very good prices… 10/10 I recommendPosted on We the People USATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good morning, I had to share the experience I had with this company High Tech. The owner Mike came out saw what I had and beat all my other estimates by $1500. His company installed a Carrier heat pump system that is awesome. The installers knowledge blew me away because the new systems have gotten a lot more advanced. The install was completed in just a day. So reach out to Mike or Amber and get set up for your next system. And hopefully you will get to meet the installers TJ, Kenny and Brian great team right there. Give them a call and grab that $1,500 of your lowest estimate. You will be Happy you calledPosted on Christy J. PhillipsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I live far away Mike helped install a new HVAC system for my father who is elderly and disabled. He communicated well throughout the process. Price was much more reasonable than other estimates. He was quick to respond and had the system up and running in less than a day. After the install my father had some questions and Mike responded right away and said he had the part ordered already. Thank you for the excellent service Mike & team.Posted on RODNEY SCOTTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very knowledgeable about the work and done a great job getting my unit up and running. ThanksPosted on Vickie PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emmett and TJ were outstanding. The owner, Mike, was exceptionally accommodating and knowledgeable, making the process seamless for my 82‑year‑old mother while coordinating everything with me out of state in Texas. The only area that could be improved was the experience when calling in and speaking with the female staff during the scheduling process. However, the quality of the installation and the professionalism of the team still make this a five‑star experience. We also appreciated the 0% financing for 25 months, which was an added bonus. I highly recommend this company for anyone in need of heating services.Posted on Big ships Little boatsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had just purchased our new home and found out the heat/ac was not working. Saw several billboards for High Tech so did a google search. They had great reviews and for good reason. Called Mike this morning and he said he would have someone this afternoon stop over. TJ made it over this afternoon and was fantastic. Had us diagnosed in a few minutes and fixed the problem just as fast. He went above and beyond with assurance we were in great working condition. We immediately asked for a seasonal membership. So glad we made the call! Congratulations Mike you have a thorough and very competent service manager working for you. It is great to see new and local businesses working hardPosted on Josiah MalikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really appreciate Mr Daniel’s communication and help during the time doing the jobPosted on Michael ArdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
