Signs It’s Time for a New Air Conditioner
Deciding whether to repair or replace your air conditioner can be challenging. While a minor repair might solve a temporary issue, recurring problems often signal that a new installation is the more cost-effective solution in the long run. Watch for these common indicators that it's time to consider a new AC system:
- Your System is Over 10-15 Years Old: Even well-maintained air conditioners lose efficiency over time. Modern units are significantly more efficient than those made a decade ago, offering substantial savings on your utility bills.
- Frequent and Costly Repairs: If you find yourself scheduling repairs every summer, those costs can quickly add up. A useful guideline is the "$5,000 rule": if the cost of a repair multiplied by the age of the unit in years exceeds $5,000, replacement is often the smarter financial choice.
- Rising Energy Bills: An unexpected spike in your summer cooling costs is a classic sign that your AC is working harder than it should to cool your home. Its components are likely worn and inefficient.
- Inconsistent Cooling and Hot Spots: If some rooms in your home are comfortable while others remain warm and stuffy, your AC may be failing or was improperly sized for your home in the first place.
- Use of R-22 Refrigerant: Older systems use R-22 refrigerant, which has been phased out due to its environmental impact. The cost to service these units is increasingly high, making a modern, R-410A system a more sustainable investment.
- Loud or Unusual Noises: Banging, grinding, or squealing sounds from your indoor or outdoor unit indicate serious mechanical problems that may be too expensive to justify repairing.
Our Comprehensive AC Installation Process
A successful AC installation is more than just swapping out an old unit for a new one. It is a meticulous process that requires technical expertise and careful planning to ensure your system performs efficiently and reliably. Our process is designed to cover every detail, providing you with total peace of mind.
Step 1: In-Home Consultation and Load Calculation
The foundation of any successful installation is a thorough understanding of your home's unique cooling needs. We begin with a detailed assessment, which includes performing a Manual J load calculation. This industry-standard calculation considers factors like your home's square footage, insulation levels, window types and placement, ceiling height, and local Glen Ellyn climate data. This scientific approach ensures we determine the precise amount of cooling power (measured in BTUs) your home requires, preventing the common problems associated with oversized or undersized units.
Step 2: System Sizing and Equipment Selection
Armed with the load calculation data, we guide you in selecting the perfect air conditioning system. An undersized unit will run constantly without ever cooling your home effectively, while an oversized unit will cycle on and off too frequently. This "short-cycling" fails to properly dehumidify the air, creates temperature swings, and causes premature wear on components.
We will help you navigate options such as high-efficiency central air conditioners, versatile ductless mini-split systems, or all-in-one heat pumps. We’ll explain key efficiency ratings like SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) so you can choose a system that balances performance with your budget and long-term energy-saving goals.
Step 3: Professional and Courteous Installation
On installation day, our certified technicians arrive prepared to work efficiently while respecting your home. We lay down protective coverings to keep your property clean. The process typically involves:
- Safe Removal of the Old System: We carefully disconnect and remove your old indoor and outdoor units, ensuring all components, including refrigerant, are handled and disposed of according to environmental regulations.
- Ductwork Inspection and Modification: If you have a central air system, we inspect your existing ductwork for leaks, blockages, or poor design that could hinder airflow. We make necessary adjustments to ensure the conditioned air is delivered effectively to every room.
- Precise Unit Placement: The new outdoor condenser is placed on a stable, level pad to ensure proper operation and drainage. The indoor air handler or furnace coil is installed with precision to guarantee a seamless connection to your ductwork.
- Expert Connections: We install new refrigerant lines (the line set), ensuring they are perfectly connected and sealed. We perform a deep vacuum evacuation to remove all moisture and contaminants from the lines—a critical step for system longevity and efficiency. All electrical wiring and connections are completed to meet or exceed local codes.
Step 4: System Commissioning and Testing
Once the physical installation is complete, we initiate the commissioning process. This is not simply flipping a switch; it is a series of rigorous tests to verify that the system is operating at the manufacturer's exact specifications. We charge the system with the precise amount of refrigerant required, measure airflow, test thermostat calibration, and check safety controls. This guarantees your new AC is running at peak performance and efficiency from day one.
Step 5: Post-Installation Walkthrough and Support
Your comfort and confidence in your new system are our top priorities. Before we leave, we will conduct a final walkthrough with you, demonstrating how to operate your new thermostat and explaining any new features. We will also provide information on routine maintenance you can perform, such as changing the air filter, and explain the details of your manufacturer and labor warranties. Our commitment to you continues long after the installation is finished.
