Day in and day out, heating and AC companies work to keep folks comfortable. HVAC systems and specific components like air conditioning units can be rather complex. While many HVAC systems can perform for many years without any major hiccups, the day will come when a system will either have to be repaired or replaced. Let's take a look at a few common questions AC companies often hear.

Does It Ever Make Sense to Replace a Functioning AC System?

Yes! Even if your air conditioner is still running well, you may want to replace it. Modern AC systems often offer much better efficiency. With electricity and energy prices on the rise, a new AC system could practically pay for itself by helping you lower your energy bills. It's important to pin down just how much a new, more efficient AC system could save you.

How Long Will It Take to Install a New AC System?

An AC system can often be installed in less than a day. Depending on the specifics of a project, it usually takes between 4 and 8 hours to replace an AC system in our experience. Of course, complicated projects could take longer. It's wise to ask for specifics when you get a quote.

Why Did My AC Unit Stop Producing Cold Air?

The most common folks with malfunctioning AC systems face is often a lack of cooling. Many different malfunctions affect your unit's ability to lower the temperature. Common causes include ice on the coils, depleted or leaking refrigerants, and malfunctioning thermostats. The good news is that AC companies can address the problems and will likely be able to get your AC system back into working condition.

Why Is Regular Maintenance Necessary?

It's smart to have AC companies look over your AC system regularly even if you don't think anything is wrong. An HVAC technician might catch a problem early on and if you mitigate it, it could save you a lot of money in the long run. You can also reduce the risk of having to go without AC, which on especially hot days can be downright dangerous. Proper maintenance can also lower your utility bills. According to Energy.gov, simply changing your HVAC system's air filter can reduce an AC's energy consumption by 5% to 15%.
