Residential Air Conditioner Replacement Service

air conditioning installation image

The comfort and health of your family depend on having an air conditioner that keeps you cool all year. If your system is old, more efficient systems are now available to help reduce your utility bills. Or, if your air conditioning equipment is no longer functioning properly, it might be time for certified HVAC specialists to replace it instead of repairing it.

As your AC system gets older, it becomes less efficient. That doesn't only mean higher utility bills it means less comfort on hot, humid days.

With a new, energy-efficient system, you can cut those cooling bills and stay comfortable at all times. But there are many options available to you. Is your current setup right for your home and your part of the country? What is your current unit's Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating? Would a different type of HVAC system serve you better?

You should know that as a leading air conditioner replacement company, Apex Air is the preferred source for AC replacement. When you need experts to replace AC system equipment, we are the service to call.

That's where we can help. All AC installation providers are not alike. Contact us to schedule a no-cost, expert analysis of the benefits of replacing your system and learn more about our customized air conditioning installation services which are backed by our Exceptional Service Guarantee.

Signs Your Air Conditioner Unit Needs to Be Replaced

A variety of signs can point to the fact that your system requires replacement, including:

·        Utility bills are much higher than usual: When AC equipment is no longer functioning at optimum efficiency, it has to work harder, using more energy to produce the normal amount of cooling you’ve come to expect. If you’ve examined recent utility statements and find them bigger than usual, it can be an indication of a failing air conditioner.

·        Strange sounds: The normal whirring of the motor or sound of air moving through ducting isn’t a cause for concern. If you detect loud noises, screeching, or buzzing sounds, it’s time to bring in an HVAC professional to inspect and diagnose the system.

·        System keeps cycling on and off: This phenomenon is also known as “short cycling.” It can be an indication that the AC equipment is struggling to maintain the correct temperature in your home.

·        Unpleasant odors: If your family smells something bad coming out of the air conditioner, it can be a cause for concern. Moisture buildup from a leak can lead to microbes growing. Bring in an HVAC professional to see if your system needs replacement.

·        Air conditioner blows hot air: Something has gone wrong. It might be an issue with the thermostat being set incorrectly or turned to heating mode instead of cooling. However, if the system takes more than five minutes to start delivering conditioned air, call us to have a technician inspect it.

Should I Replace or Repair My Air Conditioner?

Prudent homeowners with an eye on their budget will want to double-check if it’s better to get AC repair or to replace their AC unit entirely. Issues to consider:

Age of The System

Typically, an air conditioner provides useful service for as many as 15 years. If the previous owner of your home installed it more than a decade ago, it’s likely time to put in a new system. This is especially true if you don’t have a clear idea of how the previous owner maintained or repaired the equipment.

Time to “Go Green”

Families who are concerned about their carbon footprint will want to install a new system, since it will be far more efficient than an aging air conditioner. Using less energy means fewer resources are required.

Compare the Estimated Cost of Repairs to the Installation Savings

While it costs more to install a new replacement AC system, you also have to take into account the total cost of ownership. If your monthly cooling bills will decline, thanks to a new, more efficient air conditioner, that should figure into your budget and decision-making process. Plus, you have to anticipate more repair bills in the future if you keep your old setup.

Can You Install an AC Unit Yourself?

While it’s admirable when homeowners want to take care of AC unit installation on their own, generally, this is not the preferred route.

That’s because installing equipment without being a certified HVAC professional generally means you are voiding the manufacturer’s warranty. Local ordinances may also forbid anyone other than a professional taking care of this task.

Hiring an AC replacement company such as ARS/Rescue Rooter can ensure that experts will install your system according to industry best practices. This gives you the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have a guarantee for the work we perform.

How Long Does a Furnace Last?

It's a good question. There's no definitive answer, of course, but a good general rule of thumb might be 10-20 years, depending on preventive maintenance performed and usage history. Once it’s determined that furnace repair is no longer the best option, you need to make sure you know all the options available and the pros and cons of each, and most importantly that your new furnace installation is carried out by certified professionals. All installers are not created equal!

Once your new heater is installed, you'll notice the difference immediately. Quieter operation, quicker heating, and lower heating bills are some of the benefits of your new energy-efficient furnace or heating system.

There are many options available to choose from and a lot of factors to consider including Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) percentage ratings, which let you know just how efficient a heating system is. What else should you know about the AFUE percentage rating?

·        An AFUE is a thermal efficiency measure of combustion equipment like furnaces, boilers and water heaters

·        The AFUE aims to represent the actual, season-long, average efficiency of your heating system

·        It is a ratio of useful energy output to energy input. For example, a 90% AFUE for a gas furnace means it outputs 90 BTUs of useful heating for every 100 BTUs of natural gas input

If you have any questions about the AFUE on a particular brand or model of heating system, please reach out to ARS/Rescue Rooter to speak with one of our central heating installation experts. We will be happy to help evaluate furnaces and heating equipment to determine the best option for your home.

How Can I Tell When My Furnace is Going Out?

Many of our customers contact us with questions about how to know when it’s time to put in a new furnace.

Here is some background information to help you assess the situation before contacting Apex Air for heating installation service:

·        Your furnace is old and just about past its useful work-life: Furnaces last between 15 to 30 years when cared for properly — with regular maintenance, inspections, and repairs. If the previous owner didn’t take good care of your heating system, it might fail earlier.

·        The home has cold areas that the furnace never seems to heat: Many problems could be occurring. The ductwork could be clogged. Or, the system is starting to function less efficiently, so the motor and fan struggle to deliver heated air to all points in the dwelling.

·        You hear unusual sounds coming from the furnace: Weird rattling or clicking sounds could indicate trouble with a crucial component, such as the fan.

·        The furnace has been acting up in the past, with you needing to call experts in for repairs: With older systems, you can anticipate repair bills will grow larger and that you’ll need to call for service more frequently.

·        Energy bills are growing higher and higher: Many homeowners discover that their heating system is out of whack when they notice an increase in their fuel bill. Older systems grow less efficient over time. Keep in mind, furnaces built today are more efficient, so you can start seeing a reduction in your monthly bill once Apex Air installs your new system.

Why Hire a Professional When Installing Your Furnace?

When it comes to heating system installation, you want to arrange for knowledgeable, trained, and certified professionals to take on the job.

If you’re already accustomed to making changes to your home, such as doing basic repairs or repainting the exterior, you might think it’s appropriate to install the furnace yourself. Yet this can cause problems and wind up costing you more than it would to have professionals take care of this task from the beginning.

Consider the following:

·        Heating professionals know what to look for when removing an older system and replacing it with a new furnace or heating system. They may have to use special tools to cut the original unit’s pieces so they are manageable during removal.

·        Without professional installation, you may void the manufacturer’s warranty. This means you won’t benefit from any protections if the system needs to be repaired. What’s more, your insurance provider may deny your claim if it learns that the heater was not installed by licensed professionals.

·        Our team carries all of the tools, equipment, and extra parts in our service vehicles so we can take care of installation quickly and efficiently. A homeowner may not have all that’s needed, meaning there will be multiple trips to the store to pick up a tool or other crucial item before installation can be finished.

·        An experienced technician knows how to calculate the right size furnace for your home’s configuration and square footage. If you have never sized HVAC equipment before, you may run into problems. A heating system that’s too small won’t provide adequate comfort, while an oversized system will work much too hard and cause your heating bill to bust your budget.

· It’s safer to have professionals take care of the intricate work that goes into installing furnaces. You must be trained in dealing with electricity and ductwork as well as how to remove an old furnace and prepare the space for a new heating system.
