Signs It’s Time to Install a New AC

Knowing when it’s time to invest in a new air conditioning system can help you avoid emergency breakdowns and unnecessary repair bills. 

Common signs that point to a need for AC replacement include:

• Your AC is 10+ years old or older
• Increasing energy bills with no clear cause
• Frequent breakdowns or recurring repair costs
• Inconsistent temperatures or poor airflow
• Strange noises or foul odors from the unit
• AC system uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced
• The unit struggles to maintain comfort during peak temperatures

If you’re noticing one or more of these issues, it may be time to explore AC unit replacement options that better fit your home’s needs.

What to Consider

Choosing a new air conditioner involves more than picking the biggest or most powerful unit. The following considerations are essential when evaluating your options:

• Efficiency ratings (SEER2). Higher ratings typically offer better long-term savings
• Ductwork condition. Leaky or outdated ducts can reduce efficiency
• Smart controls compatibility. Modern systems can work with smart thermostats
• Budget and financing. Evaluate upfront costs versus long-term savings
• Warranty coverage. Understand the terms of both the manufacturer's and the installer's warranties
• Noise levels. Quieter units can improve overall comfort
• Indoor air quality features. Built-in filtration can enhance air quality

A thoughtful replacement is an investment in your home’s comfort and performance.

What’s the Process?

While every property and project is unique, the goal of air conditioner installation is always the same: to improve comfort, reduce energy costs, and increase reliability. 

Our licensed professionals begin with an assessment of your system and home layout, followed by expert recommendations based on your cooling needs.

From system selection to final testing, our team remains transparent and communicative. You can count on Anthony to handle every detail with professionalism, while minimizing disruption to your home.

Types of AC Systems

Not all air conditioners are created equal. Depending on your space and goals, one of the following systems may be the right fit:

• Central air conditioning. Consistent performance for whole-home cooling
• Ductless mini-splits. Ideal for additions or homes without ductwork
• Heat pumps. Cool in summer and heat in winter
• High-efficiency units. Advanced models with variable-speed compressors

Each system comes with unique benefits. Our team will help you explore options to find the best balance of comfort, cost, and performance.

Sizing the Right Unit

One of the most important factors in AC replacement is choosing the correct size. Oversized systems can short-cycle, waste energy and cause humidity issues. Undersized units may struggle to keep up, leading to discomfort and increased wear.

We take into account square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, sun exposure, and occupancy patterns. Proper sizing ensures your new system delivers steady comfort and energy efficiency year-round.

Benefits of a New Air Conditioner

Upgrading your air conditioner brings more than immediate relief from the heat. When you invest in professional AC unit replacement, you gain:

• Energy efficiency. Lower utility bills with newer SEER2-rated models
• Improved indoor air quality. Cleaner, filtered air
• Enhanced comfort. Better temperature control and humidity regulation
• Reduced repairs. Improved reliability and system performance
• Increased home value. Adds to market appeal
• Peace of mind. Backed by warranties and expert installation

A modern air conditioner is designed to operate efficiently and effectively in Kansas and Missouri homes.

FAQs

How long does a typical AC system last?

Most systems last 10 to 15 years, though maintenance can extend that lifespan. If your unit is older and experiencing issues, replacement may be more cost-effective.

What size AC system do I need?

Sizing depends on square footage, insulation, layout, and more. Our professionals perform a detailed calculation to determine the correct size.

Can I replace my AC without replacing the furnace?

In some cases, yes, but mismatched components can reduce performance. Replacing both is often recommended when systems are aging.

Will a new AC reduce my energy bills?

Yes. Newer systems offer greater efficiency and can significantly lower your monthly energy costs.

Do I need to replace my ductwork too?

Not always. If ductwork is damaged or poorly designed, we may recommend repairs or updates to improve airflow and efficiency.
