How do I know if I need a new air conditioner?
Is your air conditioner over 10 years old? Is it making strange noises? If so you may be in need of a system replacement. As our AC systems age, they lose efficiency, costing us more in electrical bills. An older air conditioner can also decrease the comfort of our home. If you are considering a new air conditioner for your home we recommend calling for a free system replacement estimate to determine the appropriate unit for your home and also your family.
How much does it cost to replace a central air conditioning unit?
The price to replace your existing AC system varies based on several variables. From the size of your home to the SEER of your new AC unit, there are many things that come into play when determining the cost of replacing your AC system. We recommend calling a licensed HVAC professional to help determine which size and also which SEER unit is right for your indoor environment.
What does SEER mean in AC?
SEER stands for seasonal energy efficiency rating. AC systems have different efficiencies. Determining the right SEER for your home can be done by a certified HVAC technician.
What would cause my AC not to come on?
There are several reasons an AC system may not come on. If you have this issue, check your thermostat for loose or disconnected wires. Wires that are frayed or disconnected will not allow your AC system to turn on. Another issue could be a faulty or broken thermostat. If you look into these two solutions and still have an issue, give us a call. We are here to help.
