Purchasing a new Louisville air conditioner comes at a significant cost to many homeowners. You want to be sure you’re spending money wisely, which means you don’t want to replace your current central air conditioning system well before its time is up. However, you don’t want to waste money repairing a dying system when you could put that money toward a new one. Decisions, decisions.
Luckily, Louisville homeowners have Jarboe’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing on their sides. We’re here to help you make the best decision for your situation – we put our expert knowledge to work for you. When examining your situation, consider the following factors that typically steer homeowners toward AC installation over making repairs.
Whether your existing air conditioner started at a lower energy efficiency level or became that way over time, an inefficient air conditioner just doesn’t cut it in today’s world. Your air conditioner could be costing you quite a lot of money, suffering from poor indoor air quality, and wasting a significant portion of the energy it consumes to cool your home.
New air conditioners have a SEER rating of 13 or higher – air conditioners manufactured 15 years ago were not held to such a high standard regarding energy efficiency. Plus, units lose efficiency over time, so whatever rating your 15-year-old air conditioner started at probably isn’t what it delivers today. When you upgrade with air conditioner replacement, you know exactly what to expect efficiency-wise and see the results of that higher SEER rating on your electric bills.
In the Kentucky climate, most air conditioning units only offer around 15 years of service life. So, if your current air conditioner is 15 years or older, paired with performance or efficiency issues, it’s wise to replace the system. With a new unit, you see a big jump in efficiency compared to systems this old, which generates savings on your electric bills.
For most, it doesn’t make sense to pour money into repairs for an air conditioner that needs to be replaced soon – especially when the needed repairs come with a hefty price tag. In this situation, we recommend you consider the “5,000 rule”:
Or, ask our Comfort Consultants for a free estimate on a new central air conditioner. If the cost of repairs is more than half the cost of the newly proposed system, choose air conditioner replacement.
The cost of repairs isn’t the only factor to consider when determining whether or not to repair your older central air conditioning system. How frequently your unit requires repairs gives another important clue.
Air conditioners suffer more malfunctions in their final few years of service. If you have called us for repairs more than usual over the last few cooling seasons, that is a big red flag that system failure could be looming just around the corner.
Louisville homeowners have abundant options when shopping for air conditioner replacements. Jarboe’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing offers quality cooling equipment manufactured by Carrier, an industry-leading brand. As a Factory Authorized Dealer, our team is highly trained regarding the specifics of this equipment and can help you explore your options in detail. With several different types of cooling equipment and several models in their product line, together, we are sure to find a new Carrier central air conditioning system that meets your needs and budget.
Cost is a major factor at play in air conditioning replacement – we understand! Most homeowners want to have a ballpark idea of the cost early on. We’re honest when we say the only way to find an accurate cost for HVAC service replacement in your home is to have us perform a free estimate.
So many factors come into play in pricing for air conditioner installation. Cooling equipment has many variables that affect its price – capacity, efficiency ratings, and features. Specifics of your home may add expense if improvements are required to facilitate installation. Plus, we need to determine the home’s cooling load to know the right capacity unit for your space, which needs to be done in person.
Air conditioner installation ranges in the thousands of dollars, from a few thousand to around $10,000, depending on all those specifics. Call us today to request a free estimate so we can provide you with a more accurate price for your project.
Air conditioning isn’t one size fits all – Jarboe’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing offers many types of central AC systems for you to choose from. Air conditioner replacement isn’t limited to a new system of the same type you had before – you may choose to install a different type of unit for the features and benefits offered.
Air conditioners are split systems, meaning they have indoor and outdoor components. This is the type of cooling system people are most familiar with – an outdoor condensing unit and an indoor air handling unit.
Air conditioners work by moving heat out of the home to lower temperatures inside. The evaporator coil pulls heat out of the indoor air, and this energy is transferred outdoors by the refrigerant. There, it is released into the surrounding air by the condenser coil.
Louisville heat pump systems are easy to confuse with air conditioners because they look very similar to a split system setup. A heat pump system has an outdoor heat pump unit and an indoor air handler. For cooling, they function in the same way that air conditioners do.
What is special about a heat pump is that it also offers heating! The system reverses to extract heat from outdoors, piping it inside to heat indoor air. Compared to furnaces, heat pumps are more efficient in most conditions.
An air handler is the indoor component of a split system. It contains the blower, which circulates air throughout the home, as well as the evaporator coil. Some also contain heat strips for backup heat when paired with a heat pump.
Air handlers look much like a gas furnace. They’re typically installed in a home’s basement, garage, attic, or utility room.
Ductless cooling units also combine outdoor units with indoor units, but they’re a little different. Either an air conditioner or heat pump is used outdoors. The outdoor component links to air handlers indoors – there is a dedicated air handler installed in each area of the home, responsible for sending conditioned air directly into that zone. This is unlike typical air conditioners and heat pumps that use ducts to distribute air.
Without ducts, ductless air conditioning offers some advantages. First, energy loss through duct leaks is eliminated for higher system efficiency. Without the need for ducts, a ductless system offers flexibility for use in areas not linked to the home’s central air conditioning system, such as new additions, newly finished basements, garages, and other areas where AC units in window equipment have been used.
Geothermal heat pumps are highly efficient, using natural energy for heating and cooling. Instead of dispersing heat into the outdoor air to cool down the home, heat is deposited below ground. When heating is needed, energy is pulled from below ground and used to bring up temperatures indoors.
These systems offer efficiencies of up to 500% and use very little electricity to operate. However, installation can be expensive because a ground loop component is required to utilize this technology.
