Whether your current system has reached the end of its life or you’re upgrading to a more efficient unit, Covington Heat & Air handles AC installation and replacement across Oklahoma City and the surrounding metro. Upfront pricing, professional installation, and financing available. Locally owned and serving OKC for over 19 years.
There comes a point with every air conditioning system where repair no longer makes financial sense. When that point arrives — or when you’re installing AC in a new addition, a home that never had central air, or a space that needs a different system type — you want an installation done right the first time.
A poorly installed AC system will underperform no matter how good the equipment is. Oversized units short-cycle and fail to dehumidify properly. Undersized units run constantly and never fully cool the space. Improper refrigerant charge, incorrect airflow setup, or sloppy electrical work all reduce efficiency and shorten system life. At Covington Heat & Air, we size systems correctly, install them to manufacturer specifications, and test everything before we leave.
We install all major brands and system types for residential and commercial customers across Oklahoma City, Edmond, Moore, Norman, Mustang, Yukon, Piedmont, Midwest City, Del City, Bethany, Nichols Hills, Warr Acres, and Guthrie. Financing is available so you’re not forced to delay a necessary replacement. Call us at (405) 568-9463 to schedule a free estimate, or use our contact form below.

Repairs make sense — until they don’t. Here are the signs that replacement is the smarter investment.
The average central AC system lasts 15–20 years with proper maintenance. Once a system crosses that threshold, component failures become more frequent and repair costs start adding up fast. If you’re putting money into a system that’s already past its design life, each repair is buying you less and less time. A new high-efficiency system eliminates that cycle and delivers significantly lower energy bills from day one.
The general rule of thumb in the HVAC industry is this: if a repair costs more than half the value of the system, replacement is usually the better investment. A compressor replacement on a 14-year-old system is a prime example — you’re spending major money to extend the life of a unit that has other aging components and declining efficiency. We’ll give you an honest side-by-side on site so you can make an informed decision.
Older AC systems lose efficiency as components wear. A system that was rated at 13 SEER when it was installed may be performing well below that rating after years of use. Modern systems start at 14–16 SEER and high-efficiency units reach 20+ SEER — a significant difference in monthly operating cost during an Oklahoma summer. If your bills have been creeping up year over year, a new system often pays for itself faster than homeowners expect.
R-22 refrigerant was phased out of production in 2020. If your system still uses R-22 and develops a refrigerant leak, recharging it is extremely expensive — R-22 now costs several times what modern R-410A refrigerant costs. If you’re facing a leak repair on an R-22 system, replacement with a modern R-410A or R-32 system is almost always the right financial decision.
We install all major AC system types for homes and businesses across the OKC metro.
When you call Covington Heat & Air for an AC installation or replacement, the first step is a free in-home estimate. We assess your home’s square footage, ductwork condition, insulation, and existing system to determine the correct equipment size and type for your situation. We don’t guess at sizing — an improperly sized system causes problems from day one.
Once we agree on equipment and price, we schedule your installation at a time that works for you. Our technicians arrive on time, protect your home during the installation, and handle complete removal and disposal of your old system. Installation of a standard split system typically takes four to six hours. We test the system thoroughly before we leave — verifying refrigerant charge, airflow, electrical connections, thermostat operation, and overall system performance.
Before we walk out the door we walk you through your new system, explain filter maintenance, and answer any questions. Every installation is backed by our 1-year workmanship warranty in addition to the manufacturer’s equipment warranty. Financing is available — ask us about current terms when you call.
Replacing your AC system is a significant investment and you deserve straight answers before you commit to anything. When you call Covington Heat & Air you’re getting Oklahoma City’s locally owned HVAC professionals who will size your system correctly, install it right, and stand behind the work with a full warranty.

The cost of a new AC installation in OKC varies depending on the system type, efficiency rating, and size required for your home. A standard single stage split system installation typically ranges from $3,500–$6,000 for most residential applications. High-efficiency two stage or variable speed systems run higher — $6,000–$10,000 or more depending on the equipment. We provide free in-home estimates so you know exactly what you’re looking at before making any decisions. Financing is available.
A standard split system replacement typically takes four to six hours from start to finish including removal of the old system. New installations that require new refrigerant line sets or electrical work may take longer. We give you a realistic timeframe during the estimate so you can plan your day accordingly.
Proper sizing depends on your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, window area, and sun exposure. A correctly sized system for a 1,500 square foot OKC home is very different from the right system for a 2,800 square foot home with vaulted ceilings and west-facing windows. We perform a proper load calculation before recommending equipment — we don’t just match the tonnage of your old system and call it done.
We install all major residential AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Bryant, Rheem, Goodman, Amana, American Standard, Daikin, and Coleman. We’ll recommend the best fit for your budget and situation — we’re not tied to a single brand.
Yes. Complete removal and disposal of your existing system is included in every installation. We leave your home clean when we’re done.
Every installation is covered by our 1-year workmanship warranty on labor. The equipment itself carries a manufacturer’s parts warranty that varies by brand and model — typically 5–10 years on major components when the system is registered after installation. We walk you through the specific warranty terms for whatever equipment we install.
