Air Conditioning Installation FAQs
Should I replace my air conditioner and heater at the same time?
That depends. It’s often cost-effective to replace both, especially if they are of similar age and wear. However, if your heater is still in good shape and has years left, then you don’t need to replace it just because you are replacing your AC.
When can I repair an AC instead of replacing it?
Minor issues like refrigerant leaks or capacitor problems can often be repaired. However, if repairs become frequent or costly, replacement might be a more economical choice.
How do I prepare for an AC replacement?
Preparing for an AC replacement involves a few simple steps. First, clear the area around your existing unit to give the technicians easy access. Check that there are no current obstacles blocking the pathway. Next, schedule the replacement at a time when you can be home to oversee the process and ask any questions you might have. It’s also a good idea to review your current system’s performance and note any issues to discuss with the technician.
What should I expect when getting an AC installed?
When getting a new AC installed, expect a thorough process that includes removing the old unit, preparing the installation site, and setting up the new system. Our technicians will then test the new unit to confirm it’s working correctly and efficiently. They will also provide you with instructions on how to operate and maintain your new air conditioner. The entire process usually takes a few hours, but it can vary depending on the complexity of the installation.
What financing options do you offer?
We understand that installing a new air conditioner is a significant investment. That’s why we offer various financing options through Synchrony, EnerBank, Service Finance, and Goodleap Financing. Our financing plans are designed to be flexible and accommodating, helping you manage the cost of your new system.
