Cooling Experts Advice when Getting a New AC

When is a replacement necessary?

The status of your current air conditioning system needs to be evaluated before you can determine whether replacement is necessary. Even if the system has seemingly quit working, it could be a simple issue with a fast and inexpensive fix. The age of your system isn’t necessarily a good indicator of the need to replace, either. With timely servicing, air conditioners can often continue working effectively and efficiently far beyond their estimated lifetimes. Schedule one of our pros to come out and do a thorough system evaluation to see whether you need an AC replacement or if a different type of service or repair would be more appropriate.

Preparing for an AC replacement

Once you’ve determined that you will need to replace your cooling system, you’ll work with your air conditioning company to determine the size system that is most appropriate to the square footage of your home and whether any additional services are also necessary like updating electrical wiring or modifying your ductwork. We’ll help you understand the timeline of how long the air conditioner replacement will take to accomplish, the total pricing including all parts and labor and what your options may be for financing.
