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.

Out tech Christian was personable, highly knowledgeable, and even was able to come early! Having an older home, things tend to be a little more involved than planned. Christian assessed our problem and explained the details and steps necessary in replacing the very old flange and pipe on the toilet. He went above to be sure everything was secure and well done. We will definitely use Roy's in the future. Vanessa Rehac

Josh B and Jeremiah V were great. I needed the annual checkup & cleaning of my tankless water heater. They arrived and completed the work within the given arrival window. They were knowledgeable, thorough, and mindful of the area they were working in. They inspected the water heater and Josh explained everything before they started work. Josh answered my questions and made sure I understood and was comfortable with all tasks before they started work. Josh B and Tyler R installed a HALO water filtration system and did a great job. It’s a two day install. Both days they arrived on time, explained everything they were going to do before starting, and made sure I understood the every step of the process. Would definitely recommend Roy’s and these technicians.
