Air Conditioning Installation

Countryside Refrigeration & Heating performing professional air conditioning installation to ensure reliable cooling and energy-efficient comfort in Minnesota homes.

Air Conditioning Installation

When summer arrives in Minnesota, dependable cooling becomes essential for comfort, health, and productivity. At Countryside Refrigeration & Heating, we provide professional air conditioning installation services for homeowners and businesses throughout the Mankato area. Whether you’re building a new home, upgrading an outdated system, or replacing a broken unit, our experienced team delivers tailored solutions that keep your indoor environment cool and comfortable—even on the hottest days of the year.

Air conditioning installation isn’t just about adding a new unit—it’s about designing a complete cooling system that works for your unique space, budget, and energy needs. Every building has its own layout, insulation levels, and airflow patterns, so we take the time to understand what will perform best in your home or commercial facility. From initial consultation to final system testing, our goal is to make the installation process smooth, efficient, and stress-free.

Custom Cooling Solutions for Every Property

No two buildings are exactly alike, and your cooling system should reflect that. Our team begins every air conditioning installation project with a comprehensive on-site evaluation. We assess square footage, ceiling height, ductwork, insulation, window placement, and other factors that influence system performance. Based on this information, we recommend air conditioners that deliver optimal comfort and energy efficiency for your specific space.

Whether you’re installing a central air system, a ductless mini-split, or a packaged rooftop unit, we help you choose equipment from trusted brands known for reliability and performance. Our technicians are trained to install all major air conditioner types and models, and we ensure each component is set up for long-term success. A properly installed air conditioning system can last 15 years or more, and our team makes sure yours is installed right from the start.

When Is It Time to Replace Your Air Conditioner?

If your current air conditioning system is struggling to keep up, frequently breaking down, or causing energy bills to rise, it may be time for a replacement. Systems over 10 to 15 years old often become inefficient and may use outdated refrigerants that are no longer environmentally friendly or cost-effective. Excessive noise, uneven cooling, and rising repair costs are also signs that it may be smarter to invest in a new unit rather than continue patching an aging system.

At Countryside Refrigeration & Heating, we don’t push unnecessary replacements. Our team will assess your current unit and provide an honest evaluation of whether repair or replacement is the better option. If a new installation makes the most sense, we’ll walk you through the process step by step and help you select an air conditioner that meets your cooling needs without overspending.

Energy Efficiency and Long-Term Savings

Modern air conditioners are significantly more energy-efficient than those made even a decade ago. With advancements in compressor technology, variable speed fans, and smart thermostats, today’s systems are designed to cool your space more effectively while using less electricity. A new high-efficiency air conditioner not only lowers your monthly utility bills but also reduces your carbon footprint and makes your home more environmentally friendly.

We install ENERGY STAR® certified systems and can help you take advantage of available rebates or tax credits that reward energy-efficient upgrades. Our technicians will ensure that your new system is sized properly for your space, which is one of the most important factors in achieving high efficiency. Undersized systems can run constantly without ever reaching your desired temperature, while oversized systems can short cycle and wear out faster. Proper sizing and installation make all the difference.

Our Installation Process

When you choose Countryside Refrigeration & Heating for your air conditioning installation, you can expect a seamless process from start to finish. We begin with a consultation to understand your goals and evaluate your property. Once a system is selected, we schedule your installation at a time that works for you and ensure that all necessary permits and code requirements are handled in advance.

On installation day, our crew arrives on time and fully equipped to complete the job. We remove your old unit, make any needed updates to ductwork or wiring, and carefully install the new system according to manufacturer specifications. After installation, we run full system tests, check refrigerant levels, calibrate your thermostat, and confirm that your system is operating safely and efficiently.

We respect your property throughout the process and leave your home or business clean when the work is done. Before we leave, we walk you through how to operate your new air conditioner, review basic maintenance tips, and answer any questions you may have. We’re committed to getting everything right the first time—and making sure you feel confident in your new system.

New Construction and Remodeling Projects

For new builds and major remodels, we offer complete air conditioning design and installation services. Our team works closely with general contractors, builders, and property owners to integrate the cooling system into the structure from the ground up. This includes planning for ductwork, return air pathways, thermostat placement, and equipment selection based on the specific needs of the property.

Installing the air conditioning system during construction allows for optimal airflow and efficiency. We coordinate with other trades on-site to ensure everything is installed at the right time and according to local building codes. Whether you’re building your dream home or expanding a commercial space, Countryside Refrigeration & Heating is the trusted partner you need for expert AC design and installation.

My first appointment with them was a two hour window and Josh shows up right on time! Friendly, neat, tidy and professional! He serviced the furnace and visually checked the air exchange for me as I was concerned as a new homeowner with tenants. He did a digital CO check and gave it a cleaner bill of health. This game me great peace of mind. 🙂 Thank you Josh!

Hands down I would recommend their services. My AC unit went out and it was hard to find the part. They were engaged with finding that part and getting the AC back up and working. They kept me updated as they were finding the part. Amazing customer service!

Couldn’t be more appreciative of the help I received over the phone today in diagnosing and wiring in my new 5 wire thermostat to my 4 wire system. Not having ac with a 2 year old in 90 plus heat all weekend was not going to be fun so thank you so much for all the help!!

Kailey made quick work of our air-conditioning issue, was friendly and took time to explain what happened and what to do to avoid in the future. Exceptional service, no hassle, great prices. They don't make contractors like this anymore.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words about Ryan! All of us at Countryside Refrigeration & Heating truly appreciate your feedback and loyalty.
The employee was there promptly at 8 am and did an excellent job of explaining what was going on for the duct cleaning. Then took extra time to tell me what he found during the cleaning. Then looked at the air conditioning unit. I would certainly call this company if help is needed with any issues with air conditioning system needs work. Very impressed.

Everything was great! My A/C totally quit on a Sunday evening and needed replacing. I called Monday morning, guys came out later that morning, by Monday evening Zach sent a quote. Tuesday Zach called and scheduled installation Wednesday morning, but the time I got home from work Wednesday, I had a new A/C unit and thermostat! Super fast and really easy to work with! Thanks so much!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the great review! We’re so glad we could help get your new A/C installed quickly—especially after it quit on such a hot night.

Stay cool and thanks again!-The Countryside Team
We had air conditioning "issues," due to a rodent incursion. Called Countryside, asked to be put on their service list (just finished hottest weekend in two years). They got me an appointment the DAY AFTER I called.Service tech Josh called about an hour before the appointed time, said he was ahead of schedule, asked if he could come early. YES, please!Josh stopped in, and was 100% clean/pleasant/polite/professional. He quickly diagnosed the problem, explained the problem to me in layman's terms, and presented me with a couple of options for service.Josh completed the repair quickly, and got us "up and running" in no time! Josh was an absolute pleasure to work with.We've been fortunate to have minimal problems with our HVAC systems over the last twenty years, but I know that CRH has been here at least once.After today's service call, I know that CRH will absolutely be at the top of the list, next time we have a service need.By the way... Josh was finished and gone, fifteen minutes BEFORE the scheduled service call time window. That can't be expected every time, or even predicted... but it was just icing on the cake.We couldn't have asked for better service."Thank You," Countryside Refrigeration and Heating!
Response from the owner: Wow—thank you so much for this incredible review and for taking the time to share such detailed feedback! We’re thrilled to hear Josh was able to help so quickly (especially after that heat wave) and that he delivered the friendly, professional service we always aim for.We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Josh—he’ll really appreciate knowing his efforts made such a positive impression.It means a lot to us to know we’ve earned your trust for any future service needs. Thank you again for choosing Countryside Refrigeration and Heating!Stay cool,The Countryside Team
