Things to consider when replacing an air conditioner

Listed below is our 6-step consideration process to help you better understand the journey of replacing an air conditioner.


IS A NEW AIR CONDITIONER RIGHT FOR YOU?
In Wisconsin, we have found the useful life of an air conditioner to be 12-15 years. Of course that depends on a lot of things such as repairs and maintenance. The best practice is to replace your air conditioner when the cost to keep it running exceeds the remaining value of the system. If your air conditioner is breaking down frequently and running up your utility bills, it’s time to have it replaced.
SCHEDULE AN EVALUATION & ESTIMATE

To really find out if a replacement AC system makes sense for you, call to book an appointment with an AC guru. Remember, we don’t employ sales people and don’t use any high-pressure sales tactics. So if you want the straight story on if you should replace your AC system, book an appointment today. We will evaluate the system and provide you replacement AC options in writing.

CHOOSE THE SYSTEM THAT MEETS YOUR NEEDS, WANTS, AND BUDGET!

We hope you will find Austin Plumbing, Heating and Air the best choice for your new air conditioning system. If you have any questions about the replacement AC systems we quoted, let us know and we will work with you to get the right system for you, your family and your pocketbook.

Keep in mind that to assist you with the investment in a new air conditioning system we provide financing too.

BOOKING THE AC INSTALLATION

After you choose the replacement option that is best for you, we will get the AC installation booked and start to pull together the job. Equipment will be ordered in (if not already in stock), installation materials will be staged and any custom fitment work that can be completed before the install day will begin.

AC INSTALLATION DAY

The most important day in your new air conditioner’s life is the day that it is installed. And if you select Austin Plumbing, Heating & Air to install your new AC system, you are in great hands. Our install team typically arrives between 8:00 and 8:30 AM in an AC installation warehouse on wheels stocked with your equipment and the tools necessary to install your new system.

We will ensure protection of your home by putting down drop cloths and taking other precautions to make sure your home is protected.

Most air conditioner installations are finished the same day, typically ending between 3 and 5 PM. Your installation team will then clean up their work area and make sure you know how to operate your new system.

POST AIR CONDITIONER INSTALLATION

Before heading out for the day, and only after you are completely satisfied with the installation, we will finish any on job site paperwork and collect final payment for the AC installation job.

Back at the office, our team will make sure your new equipment is logged in our system, registered with the manufacturer (if required) and will assist with any rebate or energy credit paperwork as needed.

Additional Things To Consider When You’re Planning Your AC Upgrade

    A replacement air conditioner that is not the proper size for your home will not deliver the comfort, efficiency, and life expectancy you are looking for. Austin Plumbing, Heating & Air will ensure your new air conditioning is not only properly sized, but also installed to the highest standards.

  • Think about how you use your existing air conditioning system

    In Wisconsin, we have some air conditioning users that only turn the AC on during extreme temps and in the other camp, folks that run the AC all summer long. The way you utilize your air conditioner is something Team Austin takes into consideration when designing and planning for an air conditioner installation.

  • How long do you plan to be in your home

    The length of time you plan to be in your current home will likely play into your decision when it comes to a replacement AC system.

  • Permits & Upgrades

    We pull HVAC permits on all air conditioner installations because we are ready to prove the work we did was up to code.

  • Efficiency

    Right now there are many changes taking place in the HVAC industry that affect air conditioning system replacement. Consider investing in a high efficient air conditioner to take advantage of energy savings and rebates.
