FAQs
How do I know if I should repair or replace my air-conditioning system?
A replacement generally makes sense when your existing unit is 10–15 years old, needs frequent or costly repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant, or struggles to keep your home comfortable even after maintenance. Newer systems are 20–40 % more efficient, so the energy savings alone can offset the cost of a replacement over time. During a free in-home assessment, our technicians measure operating efficiency, inspect major components, and calculate repair–versus-replacement costs to give you a data-driven recommendation.
What size air conditioner do I need for my Georgetown home?
Sizing depends on square footage, insulation level, window count, sun exposure, ceiling height, and even local humidity. An undersized system will run constantly and wear out early; an oversized system will short-cycle, causing uneven temperatures and high humidity. We perform a Manual J load calculation—a method recognized by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America—to determine the exact tonnage your home needs. This ensures maximum comfort, lower utility bills, and compliance with Texas building codes.
How long does an air-conditioner replacement usually take?
Most residential replacements in Georgetown are completed in one day. The typical timeline is: • Pre-visit: load calculation, equipment selection, permit filing (1–3 days). • Installation day: removal of the old unit (1–2 hrs), setting the new condenser and air handler (3–4 hrs), duct adjustments and refrigerant charging (2–3 hrs), and a final performance test (1 hr). • Post-installation: City inspection and registration of the manufacturer’s warranty (within 7–10 days). We schedule all inspections for you and leave your home as clean as we found it.
Are there energy rebates or incentives for replacing my AC system in Georgetown?
Yes. Georgetown Utility Systems (GUS) offers rebates up to $600 for installing ENERGY STAR® heat-pump or high-efficiency central AC systems with SEER2 ratings of 16.0 or higher. In addition, federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to 30 % of the project cost (maximum $2,000) for qualifying heat pumps through 2032. We handle the paperwork, provide AHRI certificates, and deduct applicable rebates from your final invoice whenever possible.
What is the expected lifespan of a new high-efficiency air conditioner?
With proper installation and annual maintenance, modern air-conditioning systems last 15–20 years in Central Texas. Key factors affecting longevity include routine filter changes, coil cleaning, balanced ductwork, and keeping the condenser free of debris. All systems we install come with a 10-year parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty, both of which can be extended through our Comfort Club maintenance plan.
Can I finance my air-conditioning replacement, and how does it work?
Absolutely. We partner with reputable lenders that specialize in HVAC projects. Options include 0 % APR for 12–18 months, reduced-rate plans up to 120 months, and low fixed payments as little as $85 per month (subject to credit approval). Applications are completed online or on a tablet during your estimate, and most customers receive an instant decision without affecting their credit score. Financing allows you to spread the investment over time while enjoying immediate comfort and energy savings.
