Frequently Asked Questions about AC Replacement

Considering a new AC unit? Learn more about AC replacement. Get informed and make the best decision for your home or business.

What is a SEER rating?

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures how efficiently an air conditioner cools your home. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy-efficient the unit and the lower your cooling costs will be. The minimum SEER rating is typically 14, but more efficient units can have SEER ratings of 20 or higher. Investing in a higher-SEER unit will likely cost more upfront but will save you money on energy bills over the long term.

How long does it take to replace an AC unit?

A typical AC replacement takes approximately 4 to 8 hours for a standard installation. Factors that can influence installation time include:
  • The size and type of AC unit: Larger, more complex systems will naturally require a longer installation.
  • The condition of existing ductwork (if applicable): Modifications or repairs to your ductwork can increase the time required.
  • Accessibility: The ease with which installers can access your HVAC equipment will help speed up the job.
  • Electrical work: If any electrical upgrades are required, the timeline may be longer.
Your chosen contractor will be able to provide a more accurate time estimate after assessing your specific situation.

What is the average lifespan of a central air conditioner?

A central air conditioner typically lasts between 15 and 20 years. Key factors influencing lifespan include:
  • Regular Maintenance: Regularly scheduled maintenance can significantly extend the life of your AC.
  • Usage: The more you run your AC unit, the faster it will wear out.
  • Climate: AC units in hotter, more humid climates tend to have shorter lifespans.
  • Quality of Installation: A properly installed unit will typically have fewer problems.
  • Quality of the Unit: More durable units generally have a longer lifespan.
As your system ages, it loses efficiency and becomes more prone to breakdowns.

What type of AC unit is best?

The best type of AC unit for you depends on factors like your budget, the size of your home, and your desired energy efficiency. Common types include:
  • Central Air Conditioners: The most common type for whole-home cooling.
  • Ductless Mini-Splits: Ideal for homes without ductwork, offering zoned cooling.
  • Window Air Conditioners: An affordable option for cooling a single room.
  • Portable Air Conditioners: Offer flexible cooling for rooms where a window unit is not practical.
  • Heat Pumps: These systems extract heat from the air to provide both heating and cooling.
Consult with a qualified HVAC technician to determine the best type of AC for your home or business.

What is a SEER rating?

The minimum SEER rating is typically 14, but more efficient units can have SEER ratings of 20 or higher. Though high-efficiency models may have a higher purchase price, they significantly reduce energy usage.

How long does it take to replace an AC unit?

  • Accessibility: Easy access to your existing unit and the installation location will help speed up the job.
  • Electrical work: If any electrical upgrades are required, the installation process may be longer.
