How our NATE-certified technicians deliver quality hvac installation results from start to finish.
KIC Refrigeration begins every HVAC installation in Buford, GA with a detailed in-home survey and ACCA-compliant Manual J load calculation. We account for your home envelope, duct losses, infiltration, occupancy, and the local GA design temperatures for both heating and cooling seasons.
Based on load calculations and your priorities — efficiency, noise level, budget, zoning — we recommend specific equipment and provide a detailed written proposal covering equipment model numbers, SEER2/AFUE ratings, installation scope, warranty, and total cost.
At your Buford property, our team removes the old system, installs the new equipment on proper mounting and supports, connects refrigerant lines with nitrogen-purged brazing, wires all components to code, installs the thermostat, modifies ductwork as needed, and cleans up completely.
KIC Refrigeration commissions every HVAC installation in Buford, GA with a documented startup procedure. We record all operating pressures, temperatures, airflow readings, and gas manifold pressures on a commissioning form. We register the warranty, explain seasonal maintenance, and provide a complete documentation package.

Complete HVAC installation in Buford 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 Buford homeowners with every cost itemized and no hidden fees.
Correct HVAC system sizing is determined by a Manual J residential load calculation — the ACCA industry standard — that accounts for your home square footage, ceiling height, insulation R-values, window area and U-factor, air infiltration rate, duct losses, occupancy, and the local GA winter and summer design temperatures. As a rough reference, a well-insulated 2,000-square-foot home in Buford typically needs a 2.5 to 3.5 ton system, while a poorly insulated home of the same size may need 4 tons. KIC Refrigeration never estimates by rule of thumb — we run a proper calculation for your specific Buford home to avoid oversizing, which causes short cycling, high humidity, and premature compressor wear.
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 Buford homeowners $600 to $1,800 per year depending on home size, usage patterns, and local energy rates.
Yes. KIC Refrigeration pulls all required mechanical, electrical, and gas permits for every HVAC installation in Buford, GA. We prepare the permit application with equipment specifications and installation plans, pay the permit fee, schedule the inspection with the local building department, meet the inspector on-site, and ensure the installation passes all applicable mechanical code requirements. A building permit is not optional — it is required by law in most Buford jurisdictions, and an unpermitted installation can void the manufacturer equipment warranty, create title problems when selling the home, and may not be covered by homeowner insurance if an HVAC failure causes property damage. KIC Refrigeration includes permitting in every installation project.
Our reputation is built on certified technicians, honest pricing, and results that last.

"Had three quotes for a heat pump installation and went with these guys. Best decision — the install was clean, efficient, and they handled all the permits."
