New Central AC Systems Built for Grand Junction Homes
How Installation Works in Western Colorado's Climate
When dealing with summer temperatures that routinely exceed 95 degrees in Grand Junction, the choice of air conditioning system matters. Proper installation begins with matching system capacity to your home's square footage, insulation level, and sun exposure. Homes in Fruita, Clifton, and Orchard Mesa each present unique cooling challenges—whether it's a ranch-style layout with vaulted ceilings or a multi-story design with complex ductwork—and system selection reflects those differences.
Monarch Heating and Air Conditioning brings experience in evaluating Western Colorado homes and recommending energy-efficient central air systems that deliver long-term performance. The installation process includes load calculations, duct inspection or modification, refrigerant line work, thermostat placement, and startup testing. Each step is performed to ensure reliable cooling throughout the Grand Valley and surrounding areas, from initial consultation through final walkthrough.
Choosing the Right System Size and Efficiency Rating
System sizing is determined by square footage, ceiling height, window count, insulation quality, and orientation. Oversized units cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to dehumidify. Undersized systems run continuously without reaching target temperatures. The goal is precise matching so your equipment operates as designed, achieving both comfort and efficiency during Grand Junction summers.
Energy efficiency is measured by SEER rating—Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. Higher SEER systems use less electricity to produce the same cooling output. In Western Colorado, where cooling season stretches from May through September, the difference between a 14 SEER and 18 SEER system translates into measurable savings over the equipment's lifespan. Clear guidance is provided during selection to help you balance upfront cost with operating expense.
If you need expert air conditioning installation in Grand Junction, reach out today to schedule your consultation.
What to Expect During Installation Day
Installation typically takes one to two days depending on system complexity and any duct modifications required. The process includes removing old equipment, setting the new outdoor condenser unit, mounting the indoor air handler or furnace coil, running refrigerant lines, making electrical connections, and testing system operation. Work areas are protected, and debris is removed before completion.

Monarch over the past 2 years we have been with have always responded readily to our service needs. From the individual Sherry that answers the phone and schedules the calls to the technicians has always been a positive experience. We just had a significant issue with one of our AC units. The technician, Nathan Libby, was one of if not the most professional conscientious techs we have encountered. He kept us constantly updated, was so thorough, and had a great personality to go with it all. Extremely satisfied with the job he performed!!! , thank you

The service call on May 23 was very much appreciated. The service technician was on time and very polite and very knowledgeable about what we had scheduled him for and explained what he had accomplished while he was here. I would recommend Monarch HVAC to anyone looking for service on AC & furnace equipment.
Mike B.
I have used Monarch for close to 10 years for all of my HVAC needs. I have come to know their staff and they are exceptional people with integrity, honesty and great work ethic. When they are done with a job, you can count on it being correct and them standing behind their work if something ends up not working the way it should. I would give them 10 stars if I could.
Russell F.
We had a swamp cooler and needed to get an AC system that would work for our house and be energy efficient. We shopped pricing and service from several HVAC contractors. Natalie from Monarch came a did an in depth review of our house and provided pricing and pros and cons for several different systems. She took the time to answer all of our questions and provide a detailed estimate. Once we choose a system, Jon managed the installation and kept us informed of the progress and made sure we were happy with the installation. The project was done on budget and two weeks ahead of the schedule Monarch gave us. It was a pleasure working with Monarch and I would highly recommend them!
Amy B.

Very professional- I have used this company since 2020 and would highly recommend.
I just had to use him for an emergency service today 7//31/2024. They were great! Were able to fit me in and get the system fixed. Both Joseph and Andrew are very competent and professional. I wouldn’t even think of using another company.
