Signs such as odd noises, strange smells, leaking water, excessive cycling and more could mean your air conditioner needs a tune up.

After running diagnostics on your air conditioner, your technician will recommend the best repair or replacement solution.

- Is your air conditioner currently working or does your house have no cool air at all?

Important Considerations when Installing an Air Conditioner
Selecting the right size is essential An air conditioner that’s too small for the size of your home will constantly run, decreasing its lifespan and increasing your energy bills. An air conditioner that’s too large will cool the house too quickly, which sounds great but actually isn’t. If cooling too quickly, it won’t effectively dehumidify the air. There are many factors that go into selecting the right size air conditioner – such as home location, orientation to the sun, home size and number of windows. A technician will be able to help you assess all these factors and select the appropriate air conditioner.
Evaluating efficiency helps you save Air conditioner efficiency is measured in SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. The SEER is a measure of how much cooling you get per watt of power used. Today’s standard is around 14 SEER, but you can opt for something higher like 16 or 24 SEER. While systems with higher SEER will most likely cost you more upfront, they will reduce your cooling costs significantly over the course of a year.
Don’t forget about the ducts If you are replacing an old air conditioner, the new air conditioner can be connected to your existing ducts. But, it’s important to check the condition of the ducts before doing so. Ducts in bad shape can leak cool air into your attic or basement. Don’t have any ducts? You can either have some installed or opt for ductless air conditioning. A ductless air conditioner is usually installed on the wall in each part of your home that you’d like to keep cool. With this method, your house is essentially broken up into zones that can be cooled individually.

Air Conditioner FAQ
As your air conditioner ages, it may become less efficient without proper maintenance. For example, if the air conditioner coils are left to collect dust and dirt, the buildup may eventually cause the air conditioner to stop working properly. Air conditioners have electrical controls that can wear out or fail. This is more common in air conditioning systems that are too large for the building they’re supposed to be cooling. Air conditioners also have sensors that can wear out or fail. Located on the thermostat, if the sensor is not positioned properly, then your house will not be cooled to your desired temperature. As your air conditioner ages, it may experience a refrigerant leak or other drainage problem. Leaks and clogged drains decrease the air conditioners’ efficiency.
Most models will cool your home for 10 – 20 years. However, as your unit ages, its efficiency decreases, it may get louder, and it may require repairs more often. If your air conditioner is 10 years or older, it may be a good idea to consider installing a new, more energy-efficient model. Not only will you save money on repairs, but also you’ll save money on utility bills.
