Frequently Asked Questions about AC Replacement

Considering a new AC unit? Learn more about AC replacement. Get informed and make the best decision for your home or business.

What is the best time of year to replace my AC unit?

While you can replace your AC anytime, spring or fall often offer the best combination of favorable weather and contractor availability. This means you're more likely to get quicker service and potentially better pricing.. However, if your AC breaks down in the middle of summer, don't wait! Contact an HVAC professional immediately for emergency service.

How do I calculate the right BTU for my AC unit?

A BTU (British Thermal Unit) measures how much heat an air conditioner can remove from a space. Choosing the right BTU rating is important for optimal performance and energy efficiency. A qualified HVAC technician will calculate the necessary BTUs for your space based on factors like:
  • Room size (square footage)
  • Climate
  • Insulation levels
  • Window size and type
  • Number of occupants
It's recommended to have a professional HVAC technician perform a load calculation to determine the ideal BTU rating for your new AC unit.

What is a heat pump, and how does it work?

A heat pump is an air conditioner that can both heat and cool. It extracts and moves heat between the inside and outside air. In the summer, the heat pump extracts heat from inside your home and releases it outside, just like a traditional air conditioner. In heating mode, it reverses this process, absorbing heat from the outside air (even in cold temperatures) and transferring it inside to warm your home. A heat pump could reduce your utility bills while providing year-round comfort.

How long does it take to replace an AC unit?

A typical AC replacement takes approximately 4 to 8 hours for a standard installation. Factors that might affect installation time include:
  • The size and type of AC unit: Larger, more complex systems will naturally take more time to install.
  • The condition of existing ductwork (if applicable): If your home has existing ductwork, the contractor will need to inspect it and ensure it's compatible with the new AC unit before installing the new unit.
  • Accessibility: Easy access to your existing unit and the installation location will help speed up the job.
  • Electrical work: If any electrical upgrades are required, the timeline may be longer.
Your chosen contractor will be able to give you a better idea of the timeframe once they've inspected your home or business.

What is the best time of year to replace my AC unit?

The best time to replace your AC is typically during the spring or fall when the weather is mild, and HVAC contractors are less busy. This means you're more likely to get quicker service and potentially better pricing.. However, if your AC breaks down in the middle of summer, don't wait! Contact an HVAC professional immediately for emergency service.

How do I calculate the right BTU for my AC unit?

A BTU (British Thermal Unit) measures cooling capacity from a space. Choosing the right BTU rating is important for optimal performance and energy efficiency. The required BTUs depend on several factors, including:
  • Room size (square footage)
  • Climate
  • Insulation levels
  • Window size and type
  • Number of occupants
An accurate load calculation ensures you don't buy an undersized or oversized unit.

What is a heat pump, and how does it work?

A heat pump is an HVAC system that provides heating and cooling. It extracts and moves heat between the inside and outside air. In the summer, the heat pump extracts heat from inside your home and releases it outside, just like a traditional air conditioner. In heating mode, it reverses this process, absorbing heat from the outside air (even in cold temperatures) and transferring it inside to warm your home. Heat pumps are highly efficient for both heating and cooling, making them a good alternative to traditional furnaces and air conditioners, especially in mild to moderate climates.

How long does it take to replace an AC unit?

A typical AC replacement takes anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on the complexity of the installation.. Factors that can influence installation time include:
  • The size and type of AC unit: Larger, more complex systems will naturally require a longer installation.
  • The condition of existing ductwork (if applicable): Modifications or repairs to your ductwork can increase the time required.
  • Accessibility: The ease with which installers can access your HVAC equipment will help streamline the installation process.
  • Electrical work: If any electrical upgrades are required, the timeline may be longer.
Your chosen contractor will be able to provide a more accurate time estimate once they've inspected your home or business.
