Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does AC Installation Take?
For a standard AC replacement, a professional crew typically takes four to eight hours to complete the installation, usually within a single workday. This timeframe includes safely recovering the old refrigerant and removing the old unit, installing the new condenser and evaporator coil, and connecting the new refrigerant lines. Jobs that require extensive ductwork modification or replacement can take longer, sometimes extending into a second day. The final step involves vacuuming the lines and accurately charging the system, a critical, precise step for optimal efficiency.
How Do I Know When To Replace My AC?
You should seriously consider replacing your AC unit when it is over 10 to 12 years old, especially in the demanding Texas climate. A key guideline is the 50% Rule: if the cost of a repair equals or exceeds $50\%$ of the price of a new replacement unit, replacement is more cost-effective. Frequent breakdowns, significantly rising energy bills despite regular maintenance, and the system struggling to keep your home cool are all strong indicators of failing efficiency. If your unit still uses the phased-out R-22 refrigerant and requires a costly component repair, replacement is the wisest financial choice.
Why Is Proper AC Sizing Important?
Proper AC sizing is absolutely crucial for both energy efficiency and maintaining comfortable humidity levels. An oversized AC unit is too powerful; it cools the air too quickly and then shuts off (short-cycles), which prevents it from running long enough to effectively remove humidity. This leaves your home feeling damp and clammy, even on cool days. Conversely, an undersized unit will run constantly, struggling to meet the cooling demand on hot days, which can lead to premature wear and failure. A licensed technician must perform a precise Manual J Load Calculation to select a system that is perfectly matched to your home's unique thermal requirements.
Can I Install An AC On My Own?
No, you cannot safely or legally install a central AC unit on your own and should avoid any attempt at DIY installation. Central AC systems involve high-voltage electricity and the complex handling of pressurized refrigerant, both of which pose risks of electrocution, fire, and chemical burns. Federal law requires a specific EPA certification to handle refrigerants, which can harm the environment if released into the atmosphere. Furthermore, an improper DIY installation will void the manufacturer's warranty and is likely to violate local building codes, resulting in an inefficient and potentially hazardous system.
How Can I Maintain My Air Conditioning Unit After It Is Installed?
The most essential maintenance task is changing the air filter every one to three months, as a dirty filter restricts airflow and forces the unit to work harder. You must keep the outdoor condenser unit clean by clearing away leaves, grass clippings, and any debris, ensuring at least two feet of clearance around the unit. Periodically check and clean the condensate drain line, as clogs are common in the humid Texas environment and can cause water leaks. For essential care, schedule a professional tune-up every spring to check the refrigerant charge, clean the coils, and verify the system's efficiency.
