Air Conditioner Installation

As one of the more expensive appliances in your home or business, you expect your air conditioner to last for many years. It will. The average lifespan of an AC unit is 12 to 16 years. Of course, there are certain factors that go into how long an air conditioner will run. These include:

What Are the Signs You Need a New Air Conditioner?

Even with regular maintenance, air conditioners will eventually reach the point where repairs are no longer cost-effective. Some common signs that indicate you may need a new AC unit include:

If your unit is over 10–15 years old and showing these warning signs, upgrading to a new, energy-efficient system can save you money in the long run.

How Can a New AC Improve Indoor Air Quality?

Many modern air conditioning systems are designed with advanced filtration and humidity control, which can significantly improve indoor air quality. New AC units can help remove allergens, dust, and excess moisture from the air, reducing the risk of mold growth and respiratory issues. Additionally, smart thermostats and variable-speed technology allow for better temperature regulation, creating a more comfortable and healthier indoor environment.

How Long Does it Take to Cool a House After AC Repair?

When an ac system breaks down, it can be a major inconvenience. Not only is it uncomfortable to live in an overheated house, but it can also increase your energy costs while the ac system is out of commission. One of the most important steps to take after ac repair is to allow adequate time for the house to cool down before you go back inside. Depending on the size and age of your ac unit, this process can typically take anywhere from a few hours to a full day or two. During this time, it's best to keep windows and doors closed and avoid making additional changes to the ac settings, as these could further prolong cooling time.
