Air Conditioner Installation

5 Signs It's Time for a New AC Installation

A Decade-Old System: An old unit is a simple sign you need a new one. Air conditioning systems have an average lifespan of 15 years. Once your air conditioner surpasses this age, consider replacing it before costly issues begin.

Frequent Repairs: Regularly repairing your AC is a sign that its life is ending. Frequent repairs often cost more than a new AC installation. Small repairs are normal, but multiple breakdowns mean it’s time for a new AC.

High Energy Bills: A tired AC often causes bill shock every month. A functional, quality AC should be energy-efficient. When your energy bill increases monthly, it’s time for a new AC.

Poor Air Quality: Poor air quality can lead to a dusty home, allergy flare-ups, headaches, stale odors, and other issues. A run-down AC causes more problems than just a toasty house; it worsens health and makes homes dirtier.

Inconsistent Temperatures: Your kitchen may be cool and comfortable while your bathroom is sweltering. Inconsistent temperatures and uneven air circulation throughout your home are signs of a worn-out AC system.

What to Expect During AC Installs

AC installation is complex, but our technicians make it low-effort for you. Keep in mind that this is often an all-day process.

The process begins with a technician inspecting the current system, taking measurements, ordering new parts, and scheduling installation. We’ll discuss your system options and help you select the ideal one for your home and air conditioning needs.

On the day of your appointment, our friendly technicians will greet you and give an overview of the installation process. We protect your home from damage by ensuring any belongings are safely away from the installation site and laying down cloths to protect the floor.

Next, we remove and disconnect the old equipment, including copper line sets, evaporator coils, control wiring, vents, and more.

After removing old equipment, our technicians install the new system. We may need to rework vents, wiring, or gas lines to ensure the new system works properly. Once installed, we’ll inspect and test the new system.

Finally, our technicians will carefully clean up the air conditioning installation site, show you how the new system works, and answer any questions.

Then, you can enjoy your new refreshing air conditioning and air quality!
