How Do I Know if I Need a New AC Unit?

Recognizing when an air conditioner is nearing the end of its lifespan is crucial for maintaining home comfort and avoiding unexpected breakdowns. An aging AC unit often exhibits signs of decreased efficiency, struggling to maintain consistent temperatures and leading to higher energy bills. 

Several telltale signs indicate it's time to consider AC replacement, including:

• Loud noises: Unusual clanking, banging, or grinding sounds often signal internal component failures, indicating the need for a replacement rather than costly repairs.
• Inconsistent temperatures: If a home has hot and cold spots or the AC struggles to maintain a set temperature, it's a sign of declining efficiency and potential system failure.
• Increased energy bills: A noticeable rise in monthly energy costs, despite consistent usage, suggests the AC is working harder to cool the home, reducing its efficiency.
• Frequent repairs: If repairs are required consistently, investing in a new, reliable system is often more cost-effective in the long run.
• Age of the unit: Air conditioners typically last 10-15 years. If the unit is approaching or exceeding this age, it's likely nearing the end of its lifespan.

Our professionals take the guesswork out of AC replacement. We provide expert assessments and installations, ensuring a home stays cool and comfortable no matter how hot it gets. 

What Size AC Unit Do I Need for My Home?

The correct AC unit size is paramount for optimal comfort and energy efficiency. An undersized unit will struggle to cool the home, leading to discomfort and increased energy consumption, while an oversized unit will cycle on and off too frequently, resulting in poor humidity control and premature wear. 

Accurate sizing hinges on factors such as:

• Square footage: The total area needing cooling directly influences the unit's capacity, with larger spaces requiring more cooling power.
• Climate zone: Hot, humid summers necessitate a system designed for these conditions, factoring in peak temperatures and humidity levels.
• Home insulation: Well-insulated homes retain cool air more effectively, potentially requiring a smaller unit compared to poorly insulated structures.
• Sun exposure: Homes with significant sun exposure, particularly from south- or west-facing windows, may require a higher capacity unit to counteract solar heat gain.
• Ceiling height: Higher ceilings increase the volume of air to be cooled, impacting the required unit size.
• Number of occupants: More occupants generate more heat, influencing the cooling load and the necessary unit capacity.
