While we try to repair your home’s air conditioner when it fails, sometimes a replacement is the most innovative solution. Most models last 10 to 15 years if correctly installed and well-maintained. If your existing air conditioner is getting on in years, and you must call for frequent repairs, we can help you decide if replacing it makes the most sense. The bonus of choosing a new AC system is the improved efficiency.

When you schedule our air conditioning service to install your new unit, our Comfort Consultant will take measurements of your home and calculate its cooling load. The cooling capacity is based on window size and direction, as well as walls, floors, ceiling, insulation, and appliances. The measurements and calculations will help us determine the best size equipment for your home. Making sure your AC replacement unit is the right size is the key to maximizing comfort and performance. When every component is matched, the whole system will perform as designed.

Importance of Proper AC Sizing & Performance

Proper performance includes more than just indoor comfort. It also means accurate cycle times, humidity control and quiet operation. If you have a unit installed that is too big for your home, you’ll end up paying more than you need and shortening the lifespan.

Long-Term Comfort & Savings with AC Replacement

As mentioned before, even the best AC unit won’t last forever. Needing an air conditioning replacement can be stressful for homeowners, especially if it’s not an expense you’d planned for. Luckily, we install all makes and models of AC units, and our Comfort Consultants will help you find the perfect one for your home and budget. We also have financing options available that we can review with you at your consultation.

The great bonus of having a new AC installed is the improvement in efficiency. Older air conditioners struggle to maintain temperature and often need frequent repairs. When our Comfort Consultants match your home with the perfect model, you will benefit from more even cooling and lower energy bills. If you sign up for our routine maintenance plan, your new air conditioner will require fewer repairs and last longer. Call or text us today to schedule your replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

James Thomas Icon

A standard AC replacement typically takes 4–8 hours, but this can vary depending on the complexity of the installation and whether ductwork modifications are needed.

Costs vary based on unit size, efficiency rating, and installation requirements. On average, AC replacement costs range from $3,500 to $8,500, including installation. The upper end of the range always includes replacement of both your outdoor AC and your air handler.

The best time is during the off-season (spring or fall) when HVAC companies offer discounts and have more availability.

You may need to replace your AC if it’s over 10–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, struggles to cool your home, has high energy bills, or uses outdated refrigerant (R-22 and 410-A).

James Thomas Heating and Cooling is such a wonderful professional company. It is by far the superior HVAC company in the area, is still family owned and operated and is super service oriented. We just had a motor go out in our outside unit and they had one of their lead technicians, Scottie, repair the unit even with very slippery mountain roads to contend with. We are back toasty warm in the cabin. I give James Thomas my highest level of referral.
