If you have an air conditioning system already, you might be wondering when it is time to do an AC replacement. There are several signs that can point to the need for a replacement air conditioner, one of those being the age of the system itself. If your air conditioner is over 15 years old, you may consider replacing it as new units will be much more energy efficient. If the performance is suffering, such as weak airflow, poor cooling, or an increase of humidity, you may want to consider an AC replacement. If you are having frequent repairs or you notice higher energy bills, these can also point to the need for an AC replacement.
When you are going to have an AC installation at your home, there are a few things that you should be keeping in mind or asking about so that you know that you are getting the right system for your needs. First would be the type of system that you will have, which could be a central system, or possibly a mini-split. You should get the proper size for your home as well; too small and the unit will always be working, too large and the system will cycle on and off more often, reducing the efficiency of the system. Energy efficiency is also a factor with the system, as more efficient systems will save money over the life of the system.

We have been in business for 100 years, and only when the business has earned the trust of customers for many years will it last this long.

Without having one of our technicians inspecting your AC unit, it is impossible to say over the phone. Even if your system is older, a small repair might be all that it needs to keep going for several more years. Contact us for an inspection and we will then explain why one might be recommended.
For most air conditioning units, if they were installed correctly, you can expect it to last up to 25 years with proper maintenance. There are factors involved in choosing the correct size of air conditioning units, and keeping up with small repairs and maintenance will extend the useful life to it’s maximum.
When it comes to the need for an AC replacement, there are different things that we look at. The age of the unit, the efficiency of the unit, how well the AC is cooling the air and moving it throughout the building, if maintenance has been performed regularly, sporadically, or not at all will all play a role in the need for AC replacement.
The answer is that it depends on the age of the system itself. If your indoor unit that moves the air throughout the home is less than 10 years old, you may be able to replace the outside unit, however it might be just as effective to repair it. If your indoor components are more than 10 years old, it is likely more cost-effective to replace the whole system for efficiency and reduced repairs/maintenance costs.
For a home AC unit, the cost will depend on a few factors, including the size of the space needing to be cooled along with the efficiency factors with different units. A rough range of between $5,000 and $15,000 is typical for residential projects. Commercial projects will need to be quoted.
Yes, a new AC system will lower your energy bills. This is because older systems, even when they were new, were not as efficient as new systems are today. Additionally, over many years of use, AC systems tend to lose efficiency.
Getting the size of the air conditioning unit right is important for the best energy efficiency. With AC, bigger isn’t always better. Factors that are included in the computation: size of the home, sun exposure, window types, efficiency of the unit you are considering, and other items.
Yes, there are credits or rebates, and these will depend on the unit chosen and other factors.
Generally speaking, AC replacement will only take a day or two to fully complete and have it operational. In some cases, the job can be completed in a single day.
Being on a maintenance plan for your AC system is important for several reasons. With a new AC unit, you will have a warranty in place, but only if you perform the required annual maintenance. Additionally, our AC maintenance will help to maintain the efficiency of the unit with cleaning, and you can avoid costly repairs by finding issues early and performing repairs when they are easy to get at.
