It depends on the age, repair cost, and efficiency of your current system. We start with a thorough diagnostic to identify the issue. Often, a repair like sealing a refrigerant leak or cleaning coils can restore performance. If your system is over 10-15 years old and requires a major repair, a replacement with a modern, energy-efficient unit could be a more cost-effective and comfortable long-term solution for our climate.

Proper installation is critical for efficiency and lifespan. We prevent common issues by conducting a detailed Manual J load calculation to ensure your new system is correctly sized for your home's layout and insulation. Our technicians follow strict manufacturer specifications and local codes for every installation, from ductwork to electrical connections, guaranteeing optimal performance and avoiding the uneven temperatures and high energy bills caused by poor installations.

Our comprehensive maintenance service is designed to catch small problems before they lead to breakdowns during extreme weather. We clean condenser and evaporator coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical components, lubricate moving parts, and ensure your thermostat is calibrated. This proactive care improves efficiency, extends the life of your equipment, and is your best defense against an unexpected failure on the hottest or coldest days of the year.
