Signs You Need a New AC Unit

  1. Airflow is limited and does not blow cold airAn AC unit that either stops blowing cold air or has limited airflow compared to the past can be a sign that an entire system failure is imminent.
  2. AC unit makes strange soundsIf your air conditioner makes grinding, squealing, or other unusual sounds that were not present before, your unit may be at the end of its shelf life.
  3. Bad smell comes from the AC unitStrange smells from a system that usually has neutral-smelling air can be a definite sign that requires investigation and could indicate poor indoor air quality.
  4. Energy bills have increased over timeIf you notice your energy bills increase during seasons when you use your AC less, then it’s time for a technician to diagnose your system problem.

If you need a new air conditioning unit or want to take preventative steps to ensure your system lasts longer, consider an AC maintenance plan. Our plans provide homeowners peace of mind about their system tune-ups and come with other benefits as well, such as:

  • $100 discount on AC replacement (if needed) for plan A
  • $300 discount on AC replacement (if required) for plan B

You can trust our technicians with your air conditioning system no matter its current issues and rely on us for affordable, reliable diagnoses and maintenance for the life of your unit.

What to Consider When Replacing an Air Conditioner

Air Conditioner Size

You’ll need to know the size or capacity to find the best AC unit for your home when thinking about air conditioning replacement. Installing the correct size air conditioner is essential to the efficiency, reliability, operation, sound levels, comfort, and ongoing costs of cooling your home. If an AC unit is too small, it will struggle to keep your home cool. An oversized unit will cycle on and off too often and blow out much more air than is needed, which can cause stress to the components, require more AC repairs and maintenance, and fail much sooner than a properly sized air conditioner.

You may think getting a new air conditioner with the same cooling capacity as your old AC unit is the solution, but that isn’t necessarily the case. Consider any changes you’ve made to your home — if you have improved your home’s energy efficiency by upgrading your windows or adding insulation, you might be able to reduce your cooling needs; however, if you built an addition to your home, your cooling needs might have increased.

It is best to have a qualified cooling expert evaluate your home to help you choose the correct size system for an HVAC replacement. They will take into account significant factors that can impact what size AC unit is ideal for your home, including:

  • Your home’s age
  • Construction materials
  • The amount, type, and age of your insulation
  • The number, size, and efficiency of your windows
  • Airflow and duct size tolerances
  • How much sun your house gets, and where the sun strikes
  • Nearby trees that may add additional shade

Air Conditioner Efficiency

Understanding AC efficiency ratings can help you choose a new air conditioning unit that will allow you to recoup the cost of a new system thanks to reduced energy bills. The efficiency rating for a central air conditioner is the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER), and it measures how efficiently the unit will operate at a specific outdoor temperature. The higher the SEER, the more energy-efficient the AC unit and the more comfortable your home will be.

The minimum standard SEER rating is 13 for air conditioners. Most modern air conditioners have a SEER that ranges from 13 to 21. ENERGY STAR-qualified central air conditioners must have a SEER rating 14.5 to qualify.

The custom ductwork ensures the best airflow and performance for your new system. We distinguish ourselves from other companies with our unmatched sheet metal craftsmanship. As members of the Sheet Metal Workers’ Union, Local 36, our installation specialists possess superior skills and knowledge about sheet metal fabrication.

The installation team arrived on time and went right to work.They worked with confidence and professionalism.We appreciated the care in protecting our floors and even the choice of how they went up on the roof indicated that they really did care. This company did what they said they would and certainly has our vote of appreciation and gratitude. We will happily recommend Design Aire to anyone.

Ken L.

One of the best companies to work with. My own profession is in a service industry and so I very much appreciate all the positive things about Design Aire.
The install crew arrived right on time and took exactly how much time they said they would to complete the job. The work was done well, the crew cleaned up after themselves, and were very pleasant. Seth in the office was extremely in-tune to our needs and very responsive.
I would highly recommend Design Aire.

Our new HVAC system was installed yesterday and we could not be happier. From quote to completion the process was great! 100% would recommend!

We have used Design Aire for both a new furnace two years ago and a new AC unit this summer. Everything was done very professionally and quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing any type of HVAC work done.

Design Aire was the best choice from start to finish. Design Aire gave me the best price with the most detailed quote. The service technicians were very friendly and completed the job ahead of time. I highly recommend Design Aire.

John K.

We've used them for our old house and our new house. They are honest, friendly, professional and affordable. We felt lucky to find them.

Maddy R.

I was very impressed with Design Aire. They were timely and did an outstanding job with the installation of my new furnace. They had great communication and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them to friends and family. Thank you so much Seth and Design Aire for making this an effortless transaction. VERY PLEASED!

Jonny M.

Design Aire sent a salesman to plan the system, and just a couple of days later sent the installers to remove the old system and install the new one. Everything happened when they said it would and the system performs as they said it would. All of the Design Aire staff were courteous, the work was performed efficiently and neatly, and they left the area cleaner than they found it. This is the second unit Design Aire has installed for us, and I have no need to look elsewhere.
