Air Conditioning Installation
A complete tune up may be enough to keep your air conditioning system running at top efficiency. However, if your cooling system is 15 to 20 years old, or it continues to have issues, it may be time to consider replacing you’re A/C unit.
Before installing a new air conditioner or replacing an existing air conditioning unit, learn the answers to these questions:
- What type of heating system is in the house now? Simply put, if the house already has a forced-air heating system, adding A/C should be fairly easy and relatively inexpensive. On the other hand, if you have baseboard heat or a boiler, then it gets more complicated.
- What type of AC unit is the best for the house? The more energy efficient the unit, the higher the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER), which means a higher upfront cost for the homeowner. Nevertheless, while a new system is going to be more efficient, it will take less time to recoup your investment if you’re running your air conditioning eight months a year, which is likely in the Southport, NC climate.
- Can the circuit breaker box handle the additional electricity?For some homes, the biggest obstacle is finding the space for the electrical needs. Your electrical panel must have room to add a breaker in order to support the A/C. Homeowners would have to incur the additional costs of upgrading the circuit breaker box. No worries, American Air & Electric can upgrade your system to accommodate your new central air unit.
In addition, we will install and service the make and model air conditioner of your choice including:
- Lennox
- Rheem
- Trane
- Heil
- United Technology – Owners of Bryant, Carrier, and others
When choosing a new air conditioning unit for your Southport home, you’ll want to consider these factors:
- Air Conditioner Size – Size matters, but bigger is not necessarily better. With air conditioners, the term “size” does not refer to a unit’s physical dimensions but to its ability to produce cooled air. It’s important to choose the size AC unit that’s appropriate to your house.
- Central Air Energy Efficiency - Bottom line, you want maximum efficiency for minimum cost. Every AC unit in America has a SEER rating. The higher the number the more efficient the unit and the less it will cost to provide cooling. The most efficient models have SEER ratings of 15 to 17.
- Central Air Warranties - Air conditioning warranties are key to ensuring that AC systems will last for many years. Before purchasing central air conditioning, ask for—and read—its warranty and be sure you understand the terms and restrictions. Air conditioning warranties can vary significantly from one manufacturer to another.
Air Conditioning Maintenance
If you’re not sure how old your air conditioning unit is, we can perform an A/C tune up which includes:
- Complete Diagnostic Evaluation
- Condenser Coil Cleaning
- Evaluation of Coolant Level
A complete tune up may be enough to keep your system running at top efficiency. Nevertheless, if necessary, American Air & Electric repairs all air conditioner makes and models. Call us today for free estimate.
A skilled air-conditioning repair professional will manage all central air conditioner repairs. Before you call, there are some simple maintenance checkups you can perform yourself to save a service call fee:
- Be sure it is receiving power – Yes, it seems logical but is easily overlooked in the “heat” of the moment.
- Check the thermostat settings. Make sure the thermostat is set to COOL and the temperature is set below the ambient room temperature.
- Check the batteries in your thermostat and replace if necessary.
- Reset equipment’s switches.
- Hose off your air conditioning unit to ensure it is clean and free of debris.
If your AC is running but does not cool, the first thing to do is change the air filter. Filters should be changed at least every 90 days, more often if you own a pet or have allergies. Regardless, a clean filter will save you money by lowering your air conditioner’s energy consumption.
Once you reach a point where you realize you need a professional, American Air & Electric’s qualified air conditioning repair experts will diagnose and repair your home’s AC to keep your home cool throughout the sweltering Southport summer.
