Why Replace Your Air Conditioner?
Age of System
AC units over 10-15 years old are less efficient and more prone to breakdowns. New systems can cut energy bills by 20-40%.
Frequent Repairs
If you're calling for repairs every summer, those costs add up. A new system comes with warranty protection.
Rising Energy Bills
Older units work harder to cool your home. Modern high-efficiency systems use less electricity.
Uneven Cooling
Hot spots and rooms that won't cool often indicate your system is undersized or failing.
R-22 Freon Phase-Out
If your AC uses R-22 refrigerant, it's time to upgrade. R-22 is no longer produced and extremely expensive.
Home Renovation
Adding square footage or finishing a basement? Your old system may not handle the extra load.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does AC installation take?
Most residential AC installations are completed in one day, typically 4-8 hours. Complex installations or full system replacements may take longer.
What size AC do I need?
AC size depends on your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and other factors. We perform a load calculation to determine the right size. An oversized unit wastes energy; undersized won't keep up.
Should I replace my furnace at the same time?
If your furnace is also aging, replacing both together is often more cost-effective. You'll get matched components and may save on labor costs.
What's the difference between SEER ratings?
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures cooling efficiency. Higher SEER = lower energy bills. The minimum is 14 SEER; high-efficiency units are 18+ SEER.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes! All new systems come with manufacturer warranties (typically 5-10 years on parts). We also warranty our installation work.
