When to Replace vs. Repair Your AC

Deciding between AC repair and replacement is a major decision. Here are the key factors we help you evaluate:

Age of system

AC units over 10-15 years old are approaching end of life and lose efficiency

Repair frequency

Multiple repairs per year means replacement saves money long-term

The 50% rule

If repair cost exceeds 50% of a new system's price, replacement is smarter

R-22 refrigerant

R-22 (Freon) is discontinued and extremely expensive to refill

Energy bills

A new high-efficiency system can reduce cooling costs by 20-40%

Comfort issues

Uneven temperatures, excessive humidity, or poor airflow that repairs haven't resolved

Precision Engineering

HOW WE SIZE YOUR NEW AC SYSTEM

Proper sizing is the single most important factor in AC installation. An oversized system short-cycles and fails to dehumidify. An undersized system can't keep up on the hottest days.

1
Manual J Load Calculation

We measure your home's exact cooling needs based on square footage, insulation, windows, and more

2
Ductwork Assessment

We inspect existing ductwork for sizing, leaks, and condition

3
Equipment Selection

We recommend the right tonnage and SEER rating for your home

4
Budget Discussion

Good, better, and best options with financing

Understanding SEER Ratings

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures how efficiently your AC converts electricity into cooling. Higher SEER = lower energy bills. Here's what the ratings mean for homeowners across our service area:

14-15 SEER

Minimum federal standard for Texas. Good for budget-conscious homeowners

16-17 SEER

Great balance of efficiency and cost. The most popular choice across our service area

18-20+ SEER

Premium efficiency with variable-speed technology. Maximum savings and comfort

Across our Gulf Coast service area, where your AC runs 6-8 months per year, upgrading from a 10 SEER system to a 16 SEER system can cut your cooling costs nearly in half.

Frequently Asked Questions

A new AC system across our Montgomery County and north Houston service area typically costs between $4,500 and $12,000+ depending on the system size, efficiency rating (SEER2), brand, and complexity of installation. Factors like ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, and home size affect the final price. We provide free, detailed estimates with no hidden fees no matter which town you're in.
It starts with a free in-home visit and a Manual J load calculation, followed by a ductwork assessment and equipment selection. On install day, our licensed technicians remove the old system, set the new equipment, then test airflow, refrigerant charge, and thermostat calibration before walking you through your new system. We finish by registering your warranty and scheduling a follow-up.
Yes. Removing and safely disposing of your old system is part of every installation we do, so you don't have to arrange separate haul-away or worry about leftover refrigerant.
We size every system with a load calculation instead of just matching the old unit, then walk you through brand and SEER2 options, from the minimum efficiency standard up to premium variable-speed equipment, based on your home, budget, and how long you plan to stay in it. We install all major brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, and Daikin, and we'll tell you honestly which tier makes sense rather than upselling the biggest unit on the truck.
We partner with Synchrony and FTL Finance to offer flexible payment plans, including options for a range of credit situations. We review the available plans with you during your free estimate so a new system fits your monthly budget.
New AC systems come with manufacturer warranties typically covering 5-10 years on parts and the compressor, plus our own labor warranty on the installation. Many manufacturers require registration within 90 days of installation to unlock the full warranty term, and we handle that registration for you as part of the job.
