The Importance of a Properly Sized Air Conditioner
An oversized air conditioner may cool your property quickly, but it won’t effectively remove humidity, leaving the air feeling damp and uncomfortable. Additionally, frequent cycling on and off can cause unnecessary wear and tear on the system, leading to potential repairs and reducing its lifespan. On the other hand, an undersized air conditioner will struggle to cool your home or business effectively, running constantly and driving up your energy bills while still failing to keep you comfortable.
To make sure your air conditioner is the right size, it’s best to work with our professional HVAC technicians who can perform a load calculation. This involves considering factors such as your property’s square footage, insulation, number of windows, and even the local climate. A properly sized unit doesn’t just improve comfort – it also operates more efficiently, saving you money on energy costs and reducing your environmental impact. Paying attention to sizing now can lead to long-term benefits, both to your unit’s performance and your peace of mind.
How Much Does a New Air Conditioner Cost?
The cost of an air conditioner can vary widely depending on the type, size, and brand of the unit you choose. For a standard central air conditioning system, you might expect to pay anywhere between $3,000 and $7,000, including installation. Factors like your home’s size, cooling needs, and any additional work required (such as ductwork or electrical upgrades) can impact the final price.
It’s also important to consider ongoing costs like energy usage and maintenance when budgeting for an air conditioner installation. Higher-efficiency models, while often more expensive upfront, can save you money on your monthly energy bill in the long run. Additionally, regular maintenance, such as changing filters and annual tune-ups, can help your unit run efficiently and extend its lifespan. When shopping for an air conditioner, Everest Heating & Cooling can help you look at both the initial purchase price and the potential savings over time to make the best decision for your home and budget.

How Often Should You Replace Your Air Conditioner?
While air conditioners are built to last, even the most reliable systems will eventually need to be replaced. On average, most air conditioners have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, depending on usage and maintenance. However, several signs can indicate that, regardless of your system’s age, it may be time for an upgrade.
It may be time for a new air conditioner if you’ve experienced:
- Frequent breakdowns or costly repairs. If your air conditioner requires constant servicing or if repair costs add up to nearly half the cost of a new system, it’s a sign that replacement may be more cost-effective.
- Rising energy bills. Older units often lose efficiency, resulting in higher utility costs. If your energy bills have noticeably increased, your air conditioner may not be performing optimally.
- Uneven cooling or poor performance. Does your home have hot spots or certain rooms that don’t cool properly? This could mean your system is struggling to keep up with demand.
- Loud or strange noises. Grinding, buzzing, or rattling sounds from your AC unit can point to serious internal issues that signal it’s nearing the end of its life.
- Use of outdated refrigerant. If your system still uses R-22 refrigerant, which is being phased out, finding replacement refrigerant can be costly and environmentally unfriendly.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, upgrading to a newer, energy-efficient model can save you money in the long run, improve your property’s comfort, and provide peace of mind.
