The Armor approach

Honest pricing starts with the right fix.

Armor prices things honestly. We repair first when repair makes sense, and we explain what replacement would solve when it is time for a new system.

Quotes are free, financing options are available, and we price match or beat competitor pricing. Units come with a 10-year parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty.

Two common paths

Which job sounds like yours?

Both options end with dependable refrigerated air. The difference is what your home has now.

01 / Starting over from swamp cooling

Swamp cooler conversion

You have an evaporative cooler and want the steadier, more controlled comfort of refrigerated air conditioning.

02 / Replacing what you have

AC replacement

You already have refrigerated air, but the system is worn out, unreliable, or no longer worth repairing.

Option 01

01

Swamp Cooler to Refrigerated Air Conversion

We remove the evaporative/swamp cooler and install a refrigerated air conditioning system for more consistent cooling and comfort.

What’s included

  • Equipment sized for your home
  • Tie-in to existing ductwork, or new ductwork as needed
  • Electrical needs and the thermostat

The final price depends on home size, ductwork condition, and the electrical work required.

Option 02

02

Air Conditioner Replacement / Swap-Out

We remove the old air conditioning system and install a new one, then make sure the connections, controls, and airflow are ready for the season.

What’s included

  • New air conditioning equipment
  • System connections and setup
  • Testing, final checks, and cleanup

The final price depends on system size and whether existing ductwork and refrigerant lines need updating.

Do you finance?

Yes. Ask about flexible financing options when you request your quote.
