Professional HVAC Installation and Replacement
Whether you are replacing an old system or installing equipment in a new build, Clayburn HVAC provides reliable installation, industry-standard practices, and clear communication throughout the project.
What we provide
Our technicians handle full-system installs, ductwork adjustments, permit coordination, and post-installation testing. Work is scheduled with respect for your time, and every installation includes a performance check so you receive a ready-to-use system at completion.
Installation process
- Site evaluation: We inspect the existing layout, determine load requirements, and confirm access and clearances.
- System selection: After discussing options and budget, we install a unit that meets the calculated heating and cooling needs.
- Installation: Mounting, refrigerant lines, electrical connections, condensate management, and duct transitions are installed to code.
- Commissioning: The system is charged, balanced, and tested. We record static pressures, temperature splits, and safety checks.
- Handover: You receive operating instructions, paperwork, and contact details for follow-up service.
Why choose local technicians
Local service reduces wait times and gives you an installer who understands Arkansas climate and common building types in Northwest Arkansas. Our technicians are familiar with local permitting and inspection requirements, which helps keep the project on schedule.
Typical project scope
Projects commonly include replacement of split systems, heat pump installs, air handler upgrades, and duct sealing. We also provide matched system installs where the outdoor condensing unit and indoor coil are specified together to maintain manufacturer warranty requirements.
Service protections and guarantees
All installations are performed to meet or exceed local code. We document serial numbers and provide warranty guidance. If follow-up adjustments are required within a specified period after installation, we address them promptly.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does a typical installation take?
- Most residential replacements are completed in one full day, provided there are no unexpected complications such as major duct modifications or access restrictions.
- Will installation require a permit?
- Permits are often required for equipment replacements and new installations. We will assist with permit submissions and coordinate with local inspectors when needed.
- Can you install energy-efficient systems?
- Yes. We install modern, high-efficiency units and will explain estimated operating costs and potential utility rebates where applicable.
Pre-installation checklist for homeowners
- Confirm access to the attic, crawl space or mechanical closet where the system will be installed.
- Ensure pets and children are secured during work hours.
- Clear an area for the outdoor condensing unit so installers can place equipment without delay.
- Have recent utility bills available if you want an efficiency comparison.
Aftercare and maintenance
To preserve system performance, change filters as recommended, keep outdoor units clear of debris, and schedule annual inspections. Routine maintenance improves reliability and helps detect small issues before they require significant repairs.
Project estimates and payment
We provide written estimates that list equipment, labor and any parts. Payment methods include major credit cards, checks, and online payment options. If financing is needed, we can discuss available plans and pre-approval steps.
Customer responsibilities
Homeowners are responsible for providing safe access to the work area and for securing any personal items. If structural modifications are required beyond typical HVAC work (for example, major framing changes), we will coordinate with you and provide recommendations for licensed contractors.

Case examples and typical timelines
Example 1 — Single-family replacement: A 15-year-old split system required replacement due to compressor failure. After a site visit we selected a properly sized heat pump and coordinated a one-day installation that included a matched indoor coil and a sealed refrigerant circuit. Final testing confirmed correct charge, airflow and thermostat operation. The homeowner received documentation and an explanation of seasonal maintenance tasks.
Example 2 — Remodel installation: During a kitchen remodel a new duct run was needed to serve an extended living space. We worked with the contractor to schedule ductwork installation and equipment set during a pause in other trades. The project required two days: one day for duct modifications and insulation, and one day for equipment installation and system commissioning.
Common issues resolved during installs
- Improper duct sealing that caused uneven room temperatures — corrected by sealing and rebalancing registers.
- Undersized equipment that short-cycled — replaced with right-sized equipment based on load calculations.
- Old wiring or inadequate disconnects — upgraded to meet current electrical code and manufacturer requirements.
Warranty and documentation
We document all installed equipment and provide copies of manufacturer warranty registration where applicable. Labor warranties for installation work are provided according to the invoice terms. Keep your installation paperwork and record the serial numbers in a safe place for future warranty claims.
Energy performance expectations
Newer systems typically operate with narrower temperature splits and improved runtime efficiency. Performance depends on ductwork condition, insulation levels, and system controls. When appropriate, we recommend simple adjustments such as adding a programmable thermostat or sealing duct leaks to improve overall efficiency.
Next steps to schedule an installation
To schedule an evaluation, call the phone number listed on this page. We will arrange a convenient time for a technician to visit, measure the home, and provide a written estimate. Estimates outline the equipment model, capacity, expected installation objectives, and anticipated timeline. Should you accept the estimate, we will coordinate a firm installation date and confirm any permit requirements.
