            air conditioning replacement

            On average, an air conditioning unit is designed to last anywhere between 12 and 17 years. Since they have such a long lifespan, most homeowners won’t have to handle this job very often in their lives.

            Because of that fact, many may not know what goes into an air conditioning replacement job. It can seem like a huge job that’s too overwhelming to tackle. There’s a huge benefit in knowing what to expect ahead of time to help save you from making costly mistakes through the process.

            We’ve put together a guide with everything you need to know about air conditioning replacement to help you know where to start!

            Signs It’s Time to Replace

            The first step in this project is figuring out if you need air conditioning repair or a full replacement. It’s critical not to skip this step if you want to make sure you’re not wasting money and throwing away a system that just needed some work.

            Luckily, there are some clear signs that can help you distinguish between the two things and make the right decision.

            The most obvious sign it’s time for replacement is when the system just can’t keep up. Whether that means it’s running continually or not at all. An HVAC system that doesn’t help you manage the temperature in your home is worthless, and you need a new one.

            Air Conditioning Replacement Process

            In order to replace your old AC system, the technician will first need to disconnect the existing unit from the internal portions of the system. Then the ducts and vents need to be cleaned out to ensure the new system can run properly. This step is crucial and should never be skipped!

            Next, they’ll connect the new system and give it power. It’s likely the refrigerant will need to be recharged for the coldest air possible.

            After that, you should be able to enjoy temperature-controlled air for years and years to come!

            Choosing the Right New Unit

            In order to have the best results with their air conditioning replacement project, they need to find the right new system for their home. There are so many options available, this can be a daunting task.

            It’s a good idea to work with your professional HVAC team to look for a system that can handle the workload, has a manageable amount of maintenance, and fits the space available at home. The right system will make all the difference in helping your home feel more comfortable.

            Air Conditioning Replacement Guide

            Taking on an air conditioning replacement is one of those home improvement projects that will make a big difference after it’s done, but feels overwhelming to start.

            The key to having success is working with the right HVAC experts who know exactly what to do. They can walk you through the entire process from beginning to end, giving you solid advice and making sure you get exactly what you need and want for your home.
