-
How do I know it’s time for an AC replacement?If your AC is over 10–15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or can’t keep up with your cooling needs, it may be time for a replacement. New systems are more energy-efficient and reliable — saving you money long-term.
-
What’s the difference between AC installation and AC replacement?Air conditioning installation refers to setting up a brand-new system, typically for new construction or additions. AC replacement involves removing an old or failing system and installing a new one in its place, often with upgrades to improve performance and efficiency.
-
How long does a typical installation take?Most residential AC installations are completed in one day. If ductwork adjustments or additional electrical work are needed, it might take slightly longer. That said, we always communicate the timeline clearly before we begin.
