Signs You Need Air Conditioning Replacement

With the hot temperatures Glendale faces, you don’t want to put off thinking about replacing your air conditioner until it fails. If you do, you could be setting yourself up for a disaster.

Here are a few signs you should begin considering replacing your air conditioning unit:

• Your unit is over 10 years old: ACs typically last 10 to 15 years. If you’ve had your unit for over 10 years, you need to start preparing for a replacement.
• Your unit breaks down frequently: Breakdowns come with expensive repair bills. Frequent breakdowns will continue and cost you even more money.
• Your unit is losing energy efficiency: The less energy-efficient your old unit becomes over time, the more money it will cost you to operate it.

Consider air conditioner repair if it’s still within the healthy years of a typical AC lifespan. If it doesn’t break down often and you have steady utility bills, a repair is likely the best solution.

Benefits of Installing a New AC

You should have your new air conditioner professionally installed by one of Bumble Bee Home Services’s HVAC experts. We’ll help you reap the benefits of a new cooling system, including:

• Increased Energy Efficiency: New ACs are manufactured to the highest energy efficiency standards, so they help lower your energy bill.
• Fewer Breakdowns: With regular maintenance, a new AC will have few to no breakdowns.
• Longer System Lifespan: New ACs have advanced to make the most of their operating years.
• Improved Air Quality: New ACs have improved airflow and filtering systems compared to older units.

Our AC Installation Process

Curious about how your AC installation is going to play out? We know that getting a big new addition to your home can be stressful, especially if you don’t know what to expect or how to prepare for your appointment. Here’s a quick look at what things will look like on the day of:

• Arrival and Assessment: No installation work begins until we complete a full assessment of your home. A technician will arrive to check out things like square footage, window placement, ceiling height, insulation levels, the status of your ductwork, whether your electrical panel can handle a new unit, and more.
• Load Calculation: Setting you up with the right air conditioner means taking all of the variables into account. A load calculation takes the information from our assessment and uses it to figure out how much cooling power is necessary to evenly cool your entire home.
• Selecting a System: Using the information from the load calculation, we’ll pick the right air conditioner for your home. We’ll also discuss energy efficiency goals and match you with a system with the right SEER scores.
• Permit Work: You kick back and relax while Bumble Bee takes care of all the necessary permits for your AC installation.
• Preparation: Here’s where you can help. You can set your home up for success on the day of by clearing out areas where work will happen, removing cars from the driveway or garage so technicians can access insulation, securing your children and pets away from the job site, and preparing for a short period of time without access to cooling. At the same time, we’ll be gathering up all the necessary tools and materials needed to complete the job.
• Old System Removal: If we’re handling an AC replacement before your installation we’ll move in to start removing your old air conditioner. The entire system will be disconnected and safely hauled away from your property.
• Installation: Finally, we’ll get to work on installing your new air conditioner. We’ll set up the outdoor unit (if one is being installed) and get your indoor air handlers all set to go.
• Testing and Wrap Up: We’ll never install a new air conditioner and bail out on you. We always thoroughly test every new system to ensure they work as expected. Then, we’ll walk you through your new system, how to use it, and answer any questions you have before we clean up and head out.

How to Choose the Right Air Conditioner for Your Home

Bumble Bee Home Services’s qualified HVAC technicians are here to help you through the process of choosing your new unit. With over 10 years of dedicated home service, we can handle the AC installation process from start to finish.

When deciding on a new AC unit, here are a few things to consider:

• Home size
• SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio)
• Insulation
• Ductwork

Your home’s age and configuration can greatly impact the type of cooling unit you need. Ductless mini-splits are a wonderful option for smaller homes and homes without ductwork.

If you’re limited on space, you might also like a unit that packages all your HVAC needs into one. Heat pumps are another option that pulls heat from the air to both heat and cool your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Replacement

If you want to learn more about air conditioner replacement, read the following answers to previously asked questions.

How long does an AC replacement typically take?

It takes a day to replace a typical air conditioning unit. However, your current HVAC setup can affect the installation time.

What’s a good SEER rating?

SEER ratings are how energy efficiency is determined for an air conditioning system. As of 2023, the SEER minimum requirements for Southwestern states are 15 SEER or 14.3 SEER2. Any system rated higher than that is considered energy-efficient.

How can I maximize my AC’s lifespan?

You can maximize the lifespan of your cooling system through regular AC maintenance from a qualified technician. We recommend annual preventative service.

What’s the problem with R-22/Freon?

R-22, also known as Freon, was discontinued in the United States in 2020 because of concern for the environment. If you have an air conditioner using R-22, you should get it replaced as soon as possible, since any refrigerant issues will not be able to be addressed. Newer AC models work with R0410A and other refrigerants that have less of a negative impact on the environment.

How much does it cost to replace an air conditioner?

Under normal circumstances, your replacement services will run you between $3,500 and $7,500 for the installation labor and the AC model. If you have a larger home or a more complex AC system, you may be looking at a pricier final bill. Contact us for an estimate to get a better idea what your specific AC installation in Glendale, AZ will cost.

Do I need a permit to get an AC installed?

Yes, it’s likely you’ll need to get a permit to install or replace your air conditioning system. Luckily, we’ll be able to help you obtain the correct permit for this work prior to beginning the installation.
