The brand on the cabinet matters far less than most people think. What decides whether a new AC delivers its rated efficiency for fifteen years is the installation, and a sloppy one gives away a big share of that efficiency on day one. Size it too large and it short-cycles, pulls out little moisture, and leaves your Florence home cool but clammy. Size it too small and it runs nonstop without ever catching up on the hottest afternoons. Florence HVAC avoids both by running a proper load calculation based on your square footage, insulation, window exposure, and ductwork, rather than simply copying the old unit's tonnage.
The repair homeowners call us about most is AC Repair. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.
Warning Signs for AC Installation
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Watch for these telltale signs:
- An AC that cannot keep up on the hottest days, no matter how long it runs
- A major repair, like a dead compressor or leaking evaporator, on aging equipment
- Uneven cooling, with certain rooms that never get comfortable
- Cooling bills climbing every summer while comfort declines
- Your current AC is past the twelve-to-fifteen-year mark
- A cold, damp feeling indoors, which usually points to an oversized system
- Repair calls that keep coming, with bigger bills every time
- The system still uses phased-out R-22 refrigerant
Don't Wait for a Total Failure
A failing capacitor, clogged condensate drain, or dirty flame sensor rarely fixes itself and usually gets more expensive to address the longer it runs. If you notice any of these signs, call (938) 262-6307 for a prompt inspection.
