What to Consider When Replacing Your AC Unit

Choosing the right replacement AC unit for your home involves considering several key factors to help you select an efficient and effective system. It's essential to understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't apply to air conditioning units – each home has unique requirements. By evaluating the following elements, you can make an informed decision that suits your household's specific needs, promoting optimal comfort while being mindful of energy usage and costs.

Your new air conditioner should account for: 

  • The size of your home: An AC unit must be appropriately sized to your home's square footage. A unit that's too small will struggle to cool your living space, while a unit that's too large may lead to inefficiencies and uneven temperatures.
  • The number of people living in your home: More occupants can increase the cooling load, as each person adds to the overall heat. Consider your family's size when deciding on the unit's cooling capacity.
  • The number and kind of windows in your home: Windows can be a source of heat transfer. Evaluate their size and type, as larger or older windows might require a more powerful system to maintain a consistent indoor climate.
  • The quality and kind of insulation in your home: Proper insulation helps retain cool air, reducing the workload on your AC unit. Homes with superior insulation can often work with a less powerful, cost-effective AC unit.
  • How much sunlight your home gets: Exposure to direct sunlight can heat your home significantly, requiring a more robust AC unit for effective cooling, especially for rooms with southern or western exposure.
  • The presence and number of trees on your property: Trees can provide natural shade, cool your home, and potentially allow for a smaller AC system, which can be advantageous for energy savings.
  • Your budget: While it’s important to consider upfront costs, also weigh in long-term savings from energy-efficient models. Investing in a modern, energy-efficient unit might cost more initially but can reduce utility bills over time.

Partnering with a knowledgeable HVAC provider, like Sandison, can also help guide you through the selection process by providing expert advice and recommendations that match your priorities.

How Long Does It Typically Take to Install a New AC Unit?

Installing a new AC unit is a process that typically takes anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, depending on various factors such as the type of system, the complexity of the installation, and the specific needs of your home. For a straightforward replacement where parts of the existing infrastructure can be reused, the process might lean towards the shorter end of the spectrum. Factors like the location and accessibility of the installation site and any necessary adjustments to the ductwork can also impact the time required. 

To set realistic expectations, it’s helpful to consider potential variables that could influence the installation time. For instance, if your home requires extensive modifications to accommodate the new unit, such as electrical upgrades or installation of new ductwork, this could extend the duration. However, planning ahead and discussing your specific requirements with us can help streamline the process. Our team is committed to open communication and keeping you informed of progress throughout the installation. This transparency ensures you’re fully aware of what’s happening at each step, and any adjustments needed can be addressed promptly.

How Much Does a New Central Air Conditioner Cost?

On average, homeowners can expect to spend between $5,000 and $20,000, including the unit and installation. This range varies because different homes have distinct cooling requirements depending on size, layout, and local climate conditions. The type of AC unit you select also plays a big role, with more advanced units typically coming with higher price tags. Energy efficiency ratings, often indicated by SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio), can also impact costs, but investing in a higher SEER-rated system usually promises better long-term savings on energy bills.

Beyond the unit's price, installation expenses include labor, potential modifications to existing ductwork, and any necessary electrical upgrades. Preparing for these costs beforehand helps avoid surprises and ensures you stay within your budget. Additionally, some homeowners might qualify for rebates or tax credits when opting for energy-efficient models, offering additional savings. 

To get a precise estimate tailored to your situation, it's best to consult with an experienced HVAC contractor like Sandison. Our team can provide a detailed assessment and help you choose the best system for your home and lifestyle so that you're equipped with all the information needed to make an informed decision.
