You shouldn’t need to replace your air conditioning system more frequently than every 8 to 15 years. However, this depends on a variety of factors, such as what kind of A/C system you have, how large your home is and how frequently you use your system, as well as whether your air conditioning unit has been properly installed and maintained. If you take care of your air conditioning system, it will likely last at least a decade or two.

It’s best to clear the path to wherever the installation will be taking place in your home – this can vary depending on what type of unit is being installed. You should also clear the area outside the home where the unit will be, as well as make sure your furnace room is available. If you’re concerned about how to best prepare your home, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Generally, we are able to install a new air conditioning unit in 4 to 6 hours. A proper installation should not be rushed. The time needed can vary depending on factors such as what type of unit is being installed, whether the installation area is readily accessible, and whether there is an old unit that needs to be uninstalled.

We recommend that you are home for at least the start and the completion of your installation. If you are there to let us in, you can answer any questions your technician may have about your home. It’s good to be around for the end of the installation as well, so that we can briefly inform you of how to operate your new system and answer any questions you may have.

If you have chosen to go with a larger accessory package that includes new air conditioning lines and ductwork, this will take longer to complete and cost more. If you have opted for a more basic installation package, this will result in a shorter, less costly installation. It all depends on what you believe your home needs to be comfortable, and we can help you to make that choice.
