New Home, Old AC

Congratulations on purchasing your new home! 

Let's talk about the elephant in the AC cupboard.

Sometimes a great house needs just one thing to make it perfect. In South Florida, if that thing is an AC unit, it can turn into feeling like a big thing quickly. It could be that your home inspector said

• that there are a couple of years left
• that it needs replacing immediately
• that the load test shows it is too small for the property
• that it is inefficient
• that the ductwork needs replacing

All of these are indicators of needing a new AC unit. Here's the good news:

A new AC will lower your monthly energy bill!

That's right. An older, inefficient unit will cost you more over 3 years than a new unit. It will essentially pay for itself. Plus, there are rebates you can request for replacing your AC unit from FPL and the government. Look at that, you're getting money back already!

Turn that frown upside down and trust us to do a great job replacing your AC unit and ductwork for clean, cold, fresh air!

Bad News for Old ACs

Older model air conditioning units use R-22 coolant. These units are being phased out in favor of R-410A coolant, which is more environmentally friendly. This means that the old coolant will now cost about triple what it used to, if you can find it at all.

If you have recently replaced your air conditioner, you are in good shape! If not, the cost of buying the old coolant, and difficulty obtaining it over time, are going to add up. Also, forget trying to sell your place with the old unit. The buyers may have you put in a new unit before the sale.
