Signs Your Air Conditioner Unit Needs to Be Replaced
A variety of signs can help you troubleshoot whether an air conditioning system replacement is necessary, including:
Your utility bills are much higher than usual: When your AC equipment is no longer functioning at optimum efficiency, it has to work harder, sometimes causing uneven temperatures in your home. If your recent utility statements are higher than usual, it can be an indication of a failing air conditioner.
You hear strange sounds: If you detect loud noises, screeching, or buzzing sounds, it's time to have a professional inspect your system.
Your system keeps cycling on and off: This phenomenon is also known as "short cycling." It can indicate that your AC equipment is struggling to maintain the correct temperature in your home.
You smell unpleasant odors: Bad smells coming from your AC can be a cause for concern. Moisture buildup from a leak can lead to microbes growing. Get a professional to check your system for repair or replacement.
Air conditioner blows hot air: If the system takes more than five minutes to deliver cool air and the thermostat settings are correct, call us to inspect it.
Should I Replace or Repair My Air Conditioner?
Is it worth it to have another AC repair done, or to replace your AC unit entirely? The experienced staff at ARS/Rescue Rooter can help you decide whether it’s worth it to replace or repair your AC system.
Here are some issues to consider:
Age of Your AC System
Typically, an air conditioner provides useful service for up to 15 years. If the system was installed more than a decade ago, it's likely time to replace it. This is especially true if you're unsure of how the previous owner maintained or repaired the equipment.
Wasted Energy
If you are concerned about your carbon footprint, and you have an older system, you will likely 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 and results in lower energy bills.
Cost of Repairs
Wondering how much a central AC installation will cost? Though costs will vary depending on your home size, needs, and preferences, it generally will cost more to install an AC unit than to repair it. While it costs more to install a new AC system, you need to consider the total cost of ownership. If your monthly cooling bills will decline and repairs not needed so often, 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?
Generally, DIY is not the preferred route because installing equipment without being a certified HVAC professional generally means you void the manufacturer's warranty. Local ordinances may also forbid anyone other than a professional to handle 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 and local codes. This gives you the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have a guarantee for the work we perform.
The AC Installation Process: 3 Steps
It's a good idea to know what you're getting into with AC installation before the technicians arrive. This preparation can give you peace of mind, especially when you see all the work that goes into air conditioning installation service.
1. Evaluation and Removal
The AC Installation process begins with an evaluation of your existing equipment to check for issues that might impact the performance of your new system. This is generally when repairs are performed if AC repair will fix the problem.
2. Installing the New Unit
Once your old unit has been removed, it's time to install the new AC unit. This may involve replacing piping or electrical and ductwork connections, if the hookups differ. Electrical connections are checked, and refrigerant is added to the system per the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Testing
After your AC installation is completed, the technician will connect your new air conditioner and test it to ensure everything is working the way it should. When it passes the test, a new thermostat is installed, or the existing one is checked. After a final check to make sure your new HVAC system is in good working order, and we answer any questions you have, we will provide some advice about proper AC maintenance care for your new unit.
