Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
Air conditioning replacement may be the right choice when your current system needs frequent repairs, struggles to cool your Fort Collins home, or causes energy bills to rise. Horsetooth Heating, Air & Plumbing installs new and replacement air conditioners designed around your home’s comfort needs, efficiency goals, and budget.
If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job, or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, a new system may be the smarter long-term investment. Our Fort Collins HVAC professionals can evaluate your current AC, explain your replacement options, and install your new cooling system without delay.
How Do You Know If You Need a Replacement Air Conditioner?
You may need a replacement air conditioner if your unit is 15 to 20 years old, needs frequent repairs, or is no longer cooling your Fort Collins home efficiently. Rising energy bills, longer run times, and repeated breakdowns are common signs that your AC may be costing more to operate than it should.
Here are some of the most common signs your air conditioner may need to be replaced:
Approaching the End of Its Life Span
Most air conditioners last about 15 to 20 years. As your system gets closer to the end of its life, it usually becomes less efficient and more likely to break down.
Planning ahead can help you avoid a last-minute replacement when your system unexpectedly quits. It also gives you more time to compare equipment options, efficiency ratings, and financing before making a decision.
Needing More Frequent Repairs
If your air conditioner needs more and more repairs, it may be time to compare the cost of fixing it with the cost of replacing it.
Similar to an aging car, there comes a point where repeated repairs may no longer be the best investment. If repair costs are adding up, call Horsetooth Heating, Air & Plumbing to talk through your options with one of our knowledgeable team members.
Running Inefficiently
An inefficient air conditioner may run longer than it should, struggle to cool your home evenly, or cause your energy bills to increase even when utility rates stay steady.
This often means your HVAC system is working harder than necessary to cool your Colorado home to your preferred comfort level. When your system runs longer, it uses more energy, which can lead to higher monthly costs.
If you notice any of these signs, or if you suspect another issue with your air conditioner, talk with one of our Horsetooth Heating, Air & Plumbing team members. We can help determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense and design a system matched to your comfort needs and budget.
We also offer several financing options to help make replacement more manageable. Contact us to discuss your options and learn how our team can guide you through the process.
Air Conditioning Repairs
You may need air conditioning repair if your system is blowing warm air, making unusual noises, giving off a burning smell, freezing, leaking water, or failing to cool your Colorado home. These symptoms usually point to an issue that should be diagnosed before it becomes more costly.
Not having your air conditioner working on the hottest days in Colorado can be exasperating. Whenever you need a repair, let our heating and cooling experts quickly diagnose the issue and remedy it for you.
There are many ways your air conditioner can stop working properly. A few symptoms you could experience are:
- Hearing an unusual noise
- Feeling warm air coming from your vents
- Smelling an unusual odor, like burning
- Noticing your air conditioner is frozen
- Seeing water leaking around the system
These symptoms mean something is wrong with your air conditioner. Ignoring problems usually only makes them bigger and more costly. Our recommendation is to have one of our Horsetooth Heating, Air & Plumbing team members promptly inspect, diagnose, and repair the issue before it leads to more damage or discomfort.
