Schedule OnlineCommon Signs Your AC Needs Replacement
Keep an eye out for the telltale signs of a malfunctioning AC unit:
- Unexplained increase in electricity bills
- Leaks
- Foul smells
- Loud noises
- High humidity in the home
- Blowing hot air
While AC repairs can address some of these issues, replacing the entire system might be cheaper and more effective.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Air Conditioner?
Different factors impact the decision to replace your current system, including:
- Age of the system
- Extent of necessary repairs
- Energy savings provided by a new unit
We’ll work closely with you to understand your preferences and budget constraints so you can make the best choice. Repairs are best if your unit is new and issues are fixable. Units requiring frequent repairs are better off being replaced.
Follow the $5,000 rule. Multiply the age of the unit by the repair cost. If that number exceeds $5,000, replacement is the better option.
With Greens Appliance, Heating & Cooling by your side, the decision-making process becomes a breeze. We’ll help you weigh the pros and cons of repairing versus replacing and help you make the right decision.
Choosing the Right AC
Our technicians will consider these factors when choosing an air conditioner for your home.
Size
An air conditioner that’s too small or too large will not function efficiently, leading to increased energy costs.
Energy Efficiency
The ideal air conditioning unit maintains a comfortable temperature while operating efficiently. Efficiency can be understood through SEER rating. The higher a unit’s SEER rating, the more efficient it is.
However, a higher SEER rating often implies a higher unit price. We will help you select a unit that balances cost and energy efficiency.
Ductwork
You will likely opt for central air conditioning if your home has existing ductwork. Ductless AC systems are available if you do not have ductwork and do not want it installed.
Air Conditioner Installation Process
We will begin by removing and disposing of your existing air conditioner. Next, we will install the system of your choice.
An installation’s duration depends upon the chosen unit. It also depends on the presence of features like ductwork and air handlers. Switching models may necessitate upgrades, duct repairs, or other modifications to support the new system.

Frequently Asked Questions
You do not need to replace your ductwork when replacing your air conditioner. Typically, ductwork requires replacement every 30 years, while air conditioners require replacement every 15 years. Replacing both will:
- Prevent breakdowns
- Improve indoor air quality
- Guarantee efficient operation
While you can install your own air conditioner, we don’t recommend it. AC installation requires specialized skills and knowledge. Doing it yourself may prove more expensive than hiring a professional outright.
You’ll likely have to replace both your indoor and outdoor AC units. Your indoor and outdoor coils must be compatible. Your system must comply with regional energy efficiency and environmental regulations.
