How Do I Know If It’s Time to Replace My AC?

If your air conditioner is over 15 years old, frequently breaks down, or struggles to keep your home cool, it may be time for a replacement. Rising energy bills and costly repairs are also signs that an upgrade could be more cost-effective. A new, energy-efficient system can improve comfort while reducing long-term expenses.

What Factors Should I Consider When Choosing a New AC System?

The size of your home, energy efficiency ratings, and your budget all play a role in selecting the right air conditioner. A properly sized unit ensures optimal performance without excessive energy use. Consulting with a professional helps you choose a system that meets your cooling needs while maximizing efficiency.

How Long Does It Take to Install a New Air Conditioner?

Most AC installations can be completed in one day, though more complex projects may take longer. Factors like ductwork modifications, system type, and home size can affect the installation timeline. A professional technician will provide an accurate estimate based on your specific needs.

Will a New AC System Lower My Energy Bills?

Yes, modern air conditioning systems are designed to be more energy-efficient than older models. Features like variable-speed compressors, smart thermostats, and high SEER ratings help reduce energy consumption. A properly installed system can provide better cooling while lowering monthly utility costs.

Can I Install a New AC System Myself?

Installing an air conditioner requires specialized knowledge, tools, and expertise to ensure proper performance and efficiency. DIY installation can lead to improper sizing, refrigerant issues, and even system damage. Hiring a professional guarantees a safe, code-compliant installation that maximizes the lifespan of your unit.

What Is a SEER Rating and Why Does It Matter?

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures an air conditioner’s cooling efficiency. A higher SEER rating means greater energy savings and better performance, especially in warmer climates. Choosing a unit with a high SEER rating can help reduce your cooling costs over time.

Do I Need to Replace My Ductwork When Installing a New AC?

If your ductwork is old, leaking, or improperly sized, replacing or repairing it may be necessary to ensure maximum efficiency. Poor ductwork can lead to uneven cooling, higher energy bills, and added strain on your AC unit. A professional evaluation can determine if your ducts need modifications during installation.

What Maintenance Does a New AC System Require?

Regular maintenance, such as changing air filters, cleaning coils, and scheduling professional tune-ups, helps keep your AC running efficiently. Annual inspections ensure all components are working properly and prevent potential breakdowns. Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of your system and keeps energy costs low.

Josh B came to the house and was so helpful! Quickly found the cause of the leak and repaired it, didn’t try to nickel and dime me. On top of that he was very courteous, warned me of any loud noises so as not to disturb my baby, which was above and beyond. Would definitely trust him with a job again!

The service technician routed out the tree roots and got the sewage draining again in short order. He removed a ball of roots the size of a football with individual roots the size of a common pencil. Very happy with the results and care for our home. He even helped me move 50 individual gallon containers of water that were in the way of access for his machine. Very happy with the job preformance. But the cost was above $200/hour for emergency service.

Tom was fantastic! We've never had to call a plumber before because we are DIY'ers, so we were very hesitant. But we definitely made the the right choice! Tom was on-time, very knowledgeable and listened to all of my concerns before addressing the problem. When we need to add a bathroom we will be contacting Roy's to do the plumbing!
