Cost Factors

System size: The larger the AC, the higher the bill typically is. However, choosing the right-sized AC is key to ensuring it lasts longer, performs better, and remains as energy-efficient as possible. A too-large system short-cycles and wears out its components prematurely, while too-small ones typically run constantly to try to keep up with demands.
Energy efficiency: The energy efficiency of an AC is determined with a SEER2 rating. A higher SEER2 rating means a system is more energy-efficient. Energy-efficient ACs usually come with a higher price tag, but they can also save you more long-term in tax incentives, rebates, and monthly energy savings.
Warranties: Most ACs come with a standard manufacturer's warranty. However, you often have the choice to pay extra for extended labor and parts warranties. While ideally, you wouldn’t need these, ACs can break down even when they’re immaculately maintained, and a warranty can save you significantly on the repair costs.
Labor costs: Part of your bill pays for labor costs. While some companies may charge less for labor, you often get what you pay for. Prioritize the qualifications of the installing technician over the price of the installation for the most reliable results.

Signs You Might Need a New AC Unit

Age: If your AC is 10 years old or older, it’s time to start planning for a new AC unit. Most systems have an expected lifespan of 10 to 15 years, after which it’s rarely cost-effective to perform significant repairs.
Frequent breakdowns: Frequent breakdowns are often a sign that your system is nearing the end of its useful lifespan, especially once you hit the 10-year mark.
Poor performance: As ACs age, they tend to perform worse due to component wear and tear. If you want peak performance, investing in a modern system may be wise. Improvements in refrigerant technology and the addition of many smart features make newer units more energy-efficient without sacrificing quality.

FAQs

AC Install Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the Difference Between Ductless AC and Central Air Conditioning?

Central ACs pump cooled air through ductwork and vents in each room to control the climate in the whole home.

Ductless ACs cool a single zone with an indoor unit attached to an outdoor unit, bypassing the need for ductwork altogether. Larger homes may need several indoor units to cool specific rooms and zones.

Do You Replace Existing AC Units?

Yes, we’re happy to replace existing AC units. Because most central AC systems last an average of 10 to 15 years, they’re bound to need a replacement eventually. During a replacement service call, we disconnect your old AC, make any necessary modifications to your ductwork and electrical systems, and install the new model.

How Long Does an AC Installation Take?

It depends on the type of AC being installed. An uncomplicated central AC installation without the need for ductwork repairs or modifications takes between 4 and 8 hours to complete. A single-zone ductless system usually takes between 4 and 6 hours, while multi-zone systems can take several days.

Ductwork modifications and electrical upgrades can increase installation times. For the most accurate estimates, speak to one of our expert techs.

Are Finance Plans Available for AC Installation?

Yes, we have finance plans available through Wells Fargo for AC installations and other home improvement projects. You’ll receive a quick credit decision in minutes.

Can I Add AC to an Extension to My Home?

Yes, you have a few options to add AC to a home extension. If your extension has ductwork, a central AC can provide cooling to it. If your extension isn’t connected to your home’s ductwork, you can still add AC with a ductless system.
