AC Replacements
Our team will perform a detailed load calculation to help you find the ideal-sized central air conditioner or ductless mini-split system. We will then discuss the best options for your home and fall within your desired budget. When you choose your system, we’ll schedule an installation appointment to remove your old unit and install your new one. Once installed, we will test and calibrate your new air conditioner and properly dispose of your old system in an environmentally friendly, code-compliant manner.
Air Conditioning Life Span
Most air conditioners provide between 15 to 20 years of reliable operation with proper care and maintenance. However, even the best-maintained systems will lose efficiency and require increasingly frequent repairs. If you have an older system nearing the end of its expected life span or if the cost of repairs exceeds the replacement cost, replacing the unit is usually the most cost-effective option. Replacing an aging air conditioner can significantly improve your comfort, reduce your monthly utility bills, and dramatically reduce your long-term repair costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will routine maintenance prevent replacement?
Maintenance can help protect components and preserve the operation of your system. However, it can only do so much, and when your system begins to fail or requires immediate repairs, additional maintenance cannot significantly extend the unit’s life span. Replacing the unit with a newer, more energy-efficient, and reliable replacement is better.
Should I wait until my air conditioner dies before replacing it with a newer, more reliable unit?
We advise against this. By scheduling a replacement before your system malfunctions, you save yourself a lot of frustration and discomfort. Moreover, it allows you to carefully review different systems before making your final selection.
Can I replace my own air conditioner?
Replacing an air conditioner requires specialized tools and expertise. It’s not an easy “DIY” project. We recommend hiring a professional because it helps protect your system from damage and ensures everything is properly installed, secured, tested, and calibrated.
