AC Installation

Reliable air conditioning is a must in Cleveland’s hot and steamy summer weather. Sometimes the only way to escape the stifling humidity is to duck inside, where cool, conditioned air awaits and allows you to relax and catch your breath. 

But if you’re starting to notice that your air conditioning system isn’t working as well as it once did, or if recurrent issues are cropping up again and again, it could be time to think about installing a new air conditioning unit. If you are remodeling or adding on to your home, you may also have more expansive AC needs that an older unit can no longer handle. And if you are building a new home, well then you’ll need to work with trained professionals who can help you to determine the ideal AC unit, along with designing custom systems to ensure year-round comfort. Have you always used window units and want to upgrade? We can help with that too.

Here’s what to know about air conditioning for your Ohio home from your local HVAC Cleveland pros.

Is It Time For Air Conditioning Replacement?

The older an AC unit gets, the higher the likelihood is of it simply breaking down and failing completely. That’s one reason that regular maintenance is so vital, but it’s also a reason to consider replacement if your AC unit is nearing the end of its life–15 years is a good estimate. That said, factors like climate, the quality of the initial installation, system sizing and how consistently you maintain the system will all impact how long your AC unit lasts. 

You want to get ahead of the issue so that it doesn’t become an emergency situation. At DeSplinter 72 Degrees® Air Conditioning & Heating, your local source for heating and cooling in Cleveland, we handle 24/7 emergencies, but we’re sure you’d rather avoid that scenario if possible.

Beyond age alone, an AC unit can give you clear signs that it is starting to wear out. Older units were less efficient to begin with, and that only gets worse with time. If you’re noticing a sudden rise in energy bills and there’s no other obvious cause, a declining AC system could be the culprit. This isn’t typically something that AC repair can fix–it’s simply a sign that you need to look into AC installation.

When wondering if the time has come to replace your AC unit, ask yourself if you’ve been dealing with any of these problems:

  • failed compressor
  • leaking evaporator coil
  • chronic refrigerant leaks
  • frequent repairs
  • unusual noises or odors
  • uneven cooling

You’ll see some folks swear by the rule of thumb known as the “$5,000 rule” to determine whether or not AC repair or AC installation and replacement are best for a given situation. This simple equation multiplies the age of your system by the cost to repair. If it’s over $5,000 then the majority opinion may be to opt for replacement. But at DeSplinter 72 Degrees® Air Conditioning & Heating we’d encourage a more full-picture approach. Factors like the age and quality of your existing system, the ability to and ease of repair, its current energy consumption and any applicable warranties should also be considered. If the cost for AC repair in Cleveland exceeds half the price of a new system, then replacement and AC installation of a brand new unit may be your best bet.
