AC Replacement Vs. AC Repair
We get it, no one wants to deal with a full AC replacement in Greenfield, IN, unless they absolutely have to. Picking up a brand new air conditioner is a big investment, and then there’s the time that goes into getting the old unit removed and the new one installed. Kicking the problem down the road for a few months with repairs may feel like an alright strategy, but before long you’ll be out much more money than you would have been if you bit the bullet earlier.
You’re usually fine going for AC repairs if:
- Your air conditioner is still fairly young and otherwise has a clean bill of health.
- The repair you need is localized to a single area or component.
- This is your first repair or repairs have been very rare up until this point.
- The air conditioner’s performance has been acceptable and your home has been evenly cooled regularly.
- The warranty on your air conditioner is still active.
On the flip side, AC replacement is a good idea when:
- Your air conditioner is already reaching the end of its natural lifespan (about 15 years of service).
- The cost of your repairs is equal to or more than 50% of the cost of a brand new air conditioner.
- Repairs are systemic and affect multiple components at the same time.
- Your energy bills have been continually rising without more AC usage.
- The air conditioner seems to struggle to keep up or you experience uneven cooling throughout your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are SEER ratings, and are they important?
Your seasonal energy efficiency ratio (or SEER) is pretty straightforward. Like the name implies, your SEER rating shows you how energy efficient your new air conditioner is. It recently changed over to SEER2, but the idea is still the same. The higher your AC’s SEER2 score, the more power it saves during operation. Don’t be put off by a higher price tag associated with a more efficient model, you’ll save a healthy amount of money in the long run by adopting one.
Will I need to replace my ductwork if I’m getting a new air conditioner?
Not always. As long as our assessment shows that your ducts are in good health and properly sized to handle the output of your new AC then you should be all good to go for your replacement. If we ever feel like your current duct setup isn’t right for your new air conditioner we’ll talk with you about the next best steps before we get started.
How do I know what size air conditioner I need?
Don’t worry, there’s a whole process that goes into finding the perfect AC for your home. We always start an AC replacement in Greenfield, IN, with a full load calculation that shows us how much power your new unit needs to evenly cool things down. We’ll take variables like window placement, ceiling height, square footage, overall layout and the size of your household to help us make the call.
