Sometimes, there’s no question that it’s time for AC replacement. When the unit breaks down and the cost to repair it is more than half of what you’ll spend on a new unit, it makes more sense to upgrade to new equipment.
Other signs to consider a new AC system include:
- Frequent repairs
- An aging system (more than 10 to 15 years old)
- Steadily increasing utility bills
- Challenges maintaining comfort
- Poor indoor air quality
Another common issue that requires AC replacement is an incorrectly sized unit. A system that’s too small for your home won’t be able to keep up with demand, while an oversized system will typically turn off before reaching the desired temperature, resulting in excessive humidity and high energy costs.
If you have renovated your home, built an addition, or expanded into spaces like the garage or basement, the current system may be inadequate for your needs. Let Galactic Air, Inc. install a correctly sized air conditioner to ensure you enjoy consistent comfort and precise temperatures in every room.
Replace Specific Parts
Not all air conditioning problems require a total system replacement, though. In some cases, we may be able to replace specific parts to improve performance and support smooth operation, better cooling, and improved efficiency.
Air Handler Replacement
If you have a central air conditioner, you’ll most likely find the air handler in the attic, although it may be in the basement or the closet. This part contains the blower or fan, the evaporator coils, and air filter, and circulates the cool air into the ductwork and throughout your home. If the air handler fails, we can replace the entire unit or individual elements to improve airflow and air quality.
Compressor Replacement
Arguably the most important part of any air conditioning system, the compressor circulates refrigerant throughout the coils to cool the air. While many people believe that a failed compressor means an AC replacement is imminent, that isn’t always the case. If your system is only a few years old, and still works well otherwise, replacing the compressor can get it back up and running.
Refrigerant Supply Lines and Condensate Pumps and Drain Line Replacement
Damage to the refrigerant supply or drain lines can cause a host of air conditioning problems, but in most cases, Galactic Air Inc.’s specialists can replace them and keep your system running reliably.
For example, a leak in the refrigerant supply line will allow coolant to escape, preventing the system from adequately cooling air. When the refrigerant level gets too low, it can cause excess wear and tear on other mechanical components and lead to a system failure, so replacing the line right away is critical to preventing bigger issues.
The condensate pump and drain lines can also deteriorate or fail, affecting the system’s ability to control indoor humidity and drain excess water from the system. Replacing these parts ensures system efficiency and maximizes comfort, and prevents water damage from condensation backups.
Thermostat Replacement
The thermostat controls the temperature inside your home, and if it fails, the air conditioner won’t work correctly. Talk to us about smart thermostat installation, and enjoy more control over your home environment and significant energy savings.
