AC System Replacement
A common homeowner mistake is trying to squeeze as much life as possible out of an aging AC. Older AC systems can lose considerable efficiency over their lifespans. Another consideration is that modern cooling technologies are much more efficient than those made over a decade ago. Older systems are more prone to breakdowns, and even relatively small repairs can really add up. Our team can help you choose the best AC for your home and comfort needs now. We can also help you save with a smart thermostat and other add-ons.

In many cases, your new AC system can use the ducts that are already in your home. Properly installed ductwork can last 50 years or even longer with proper maintenance. We may recommend duct maintenance, repairs, or even replacement if there are issues that would undermine AC performance. Those can include improper installation, poor duct design, and significant air leakage.
Yes, we can add air conditioning to a home that only uses a furnace and perhaps doesn’t even have cooling. We also perform conversions from window units and ductless mini-splits. An important consideration will be the air handler, which includes the blower. In many cases, the AC can use the existing blower, or we can install a new air handler.
We base the initial cooling output load calculation on the home’s cubic footage and floor plan. Our installers will then adjust for other factors, including your location and building envelope. Attic and wall insulation are a significant aspect of that envelope. If you have insufficient insulation, you may need a larger AC than you otherwise would.
