Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
From initial contact to final verification — here is how we handle hvac installation.
We survey your property, assess your existing HVAC infrastructure, and perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the correct system size. We evaluate ductwork condition, electrical capacity, and equipment location options.
Our Windsor team presents two to three system options matched to your load calculation. We compare SEER2 and AFUE ratings, explain the differences between single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed equipment, and factor in available manufacturer rebates, utility incentives, and federal tax credits for Windsor homeowners.
KIC Refrigeration installs HVAC systems in Windsor, WI to the highest standards. We set equipment on level, vibration-isolated mounting, braze all refrigerant connections with nitrogen flowing, pressure test with dry nitrogen, evacuate to below 500 microns, charge by weight, seal all duct connections with mastic, and verify gas piping sizing and connections.
We start the new system, verify operation in all modes, measure airflow, check refrigerant charge, program the thermostat, register the warranty, and provide you with all documentation including equipment manuals, warranty cards, and commissioning readings.

Complete HVAC installation in Windsor ranges from $7,000 to $15,000 for a mid-efficiency furnace and AC combination — typically an 80 percent AFUE furnace paired with a 14.3 to 16 SEER2 condenser. High-efficiency systems with variable-speed blowers and two-stage or variable-speed compressors run $12,000 to $22,000 but deliver significantly lower operating costs and qualify for federal tax credits. Heat pump systems fall between $5,000 and $18,000 depending on whether the system is single-stage, variable-speed, or a dual-fuel configuration. Ductwork modifications or new duct runs add $1,000 to $5,000. KIC Refrigeration provides detailed written proposals for Windsor homeowners with every cost itemized and no hidden fees.
A standard furnace and AC replacement in Windsor takes 1 to 2 days when existing ductwork, gas piping, and electrical service are adequate and the new equipment fits in the same location. A complete system replacement that includes ductwork modifications, new trunk lines, equipment relocation from basement to attic or vice versa, electrical panel upgrades, or zoning system installation may take 3 to 5 days. Multi-zone mini-split installations with 3 to 5 indoor heads typically take 2 to 3 days. KIC Refrigeration provides a clear timeline in every proposal, coordinates scheduling around your Windsor home availability, and keeps you informed on progress every step of the way.
A properly installed and maintained HVAC system in Windsor typically lasts 15 to 20 years for the gas furnace and 12 to 18 years for the air conditioner or heat pump outdoor unit. Variable-speed equipment tends to last on the higher end of these ranges because it runs at reduced capacity most of the time, causing less thermal and mechanical stress on components. The three biggest factors in equipment lifespan are installation quality, annual professional maintenance, and regular filter changes every 1 to 3 months. KIC Refrigeration offers maintenance plans for Windsor homeowners that include seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, and repair discounts to help you get the maximum life from your investment.
Yes, substantially. Replacing a 10 SEER air conditioner with a 16 SEER2 unit reduces cooling energy consumption by approximately 38 percent. Upgrading from an 80 AFUE furnace to a 96 AFUE condensing furnace saves 16 cents of every heating dollar — the old furnace sends 20 cents up the flue while the new one captures it. Combined with proper installation practices — correct refrigerant charge verified by superheat and subcooling, proper static pressure and airflow at 400 CFM per ton, sealed duct connections, and a programmable thermostat — a new system typically saves Windsor homeowners $600 to $1,800 per year depending on home size, usage patterns, and local energy rates.
