When Should I Upgrade?
There are lots of signs your air conditioning system is due for replacement. If you notice any of these problems starting to affect its performance, waste no time in contacting your local HVAC professional:
- Higher-than-usual cooling costs during peak season
- Lack of cool air blowing consistently in your home
- Constant repair and air conditioning maintenance
- Unit is more than 10 years old or is out of warranty
- Unit is visibly damaged, rusting or broken down
Your cooling unit will eventually start to show its age in a variety of ways — namely with inefficiency or breakdowns. Pay close attention to these issues and make sure you’re calling for repairs and service as soon as you notice anything out of the ordinary. If these calls become frequent, talk to our HVAC professionals about the expected lifespan of your unit.
We’re always happy to advise on whether repair or complete unit replacement is the right option. We’ll never make the decision for you. We’ll only present you with the facts so that you can decide for yourself. We’re able to inform you of certain aspect, such as repair costs, anticipated lifespan of your unit, new unit prices, and miscellaneous other cost factors.

How Split Air Conditioners Are Replaced
Split mini ductless A/C systems are extremely convenient, especially in areas where it’s hard to run ductwork or areas that may be separate from your main living space. But, in order for these systems to work properly, they need to be installed correctly.
Our team has extensive experience installing mini split systems. Whether you’re installing a brand-new system in your home or retrofitting an old, defective one, count on us for completely flawless installations. The process goes like this for new air conditioning installations:
- Designate and prep the wall surface where the unit will be installed
- Mount the wall bracket that will house the system

- Install control wiring on the split system
- Install outdoor heat pump condenser
- Vacuum pressurize the system and charge with refrigerant
- Connection to a high-voltage power source
