Is It Time to Replace Your AC?

An aging air conditioner costs more to run, breaks down more often, and struggles to keep your home comfortable. At some point, repairs stop making sense.

Read More

Most air conditioners last 15-20 years. But efficiency drops every year after the 10-year mark. If your system was installed before 2010, it's using R-22 refrigerant—which is now phased out and expensive to source.

Signs your AC is ready for replacement:

- Repair costs approaching 50% of replacement value
- System is 15+ years old
- Uneven cooling throughout your home
- Energy bills climbing each summer
- Frequent breakdowns during peak season
- R-22 refrigerant system (pre-2010 units)

We'll evaluate your current system and give you an honest assessment. If repairs make sense, we'll tell you. If replacement is the smarter investment, we'll show you why—with real numbers, not sales tactics.

In-Home Assessment

We evaluate your home, ductwork, and current system to determine the right size and type.

Learn More

A comfort consultant visits your home to perform a complete load calculation. This isn't a quick eyeball—we measure square footage, check insulation levels, evaluate window exposure, and inspect existing ductwork.

Why this matters: An oversized system short-cycles and creates humidity problems. An undersized system runs constantly and never reaches temperature. Proper sizing means efficient operation and consistent comfort.

We also check:
- Electrical panel capacity
- Ductwork condition and sizing
- Thermostat location and wiring
- Any zoning requirements

This assessment is free. No obligation, no pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer financing for new AC systems?
Yes. We offer multiple financing options with approval on the spot. Terms vary based on credit and the option you choose. No penalty for paying off early.
How long does AC installation take?
Most residential installations complete in one day. Complex installations—like switching from a swamp cooler or adding ductwork—may take two days. We'll confirm the timeline during your estimate.
What brands do you install?
We install Carrier, Lennox, and other major brands. We're a Lennox Authorized Dealer, which means our installers are factory-trained and installations meet manufacturer specifications for full warranty coverage.
What size AC do I need for my home?
Size depends on square footage, insulation, window exposure, ceiling height, and ductwork. We perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact capacity needed. Guessing leads to problems—oversized systems short-cycle, undersized systems can't keep up.
