Upgrade Your Home Comfort with a New AC System

Making the right decision about AC replacement or repair can significantly impact both your family’s comfort and your finances.

When Should You Replace Your AC System?

Consider these factors when you’re thinking about new AC system installation services:

System age: Most air conditioners last 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance. Beyond that, a new air conditioning replacement may be the better option.
Rising energy bills: If you notice steadily increasing electricity costs despite similar usage patterns, your AC may be losing efficiency.
Frequent repairs or breakdowns: When repair costs start adding up, investing in an AC replacement often makes more financial sense.
Poor performance: If your AC struggles to keep your home cool during Raleigh’s hot summers, when temperatures can reach the low 90s, it may be undersized or worn out.

Benefits of Installing a New Air Conditioning Unit

Deciding to invest in a new AC installation or replacement delivers several key benefits. Today’s air conditioners use advanced technology that lower noise levels and provide more consistent cooling while consuming less electricity.

Many energy-efficient air conditioning replacements qualify for utility rebates, tax credits, or other discount offers to help reduce the initial cost. Plus, if you’re thinking about listing your home for sale in the next few years, a new HVAC installation can boost your property value and appeal to potential buyers.

Our Professional AC Installation & Replacement Services

Our residential AC replacement company offers comprehensive cooling services catered to your specific needs and budget.

What We Offer

At Thermo Direct, we guide you through deciding on a new AC replacement, including:

Central air installation for homes using traditional ducted systems.
Ductless mini-split systems for homes without existing ductwork.
High-efficiency HVAC installations that reduce monthly bills.
Full removal and disposal of old units when opting for an AC replacement.

Our Process

When you call us for an air conditioning installation or replacement, our technicians start by conducting thorough load calculations to determine the exact capacity needed for your home. Then, we consider your home’s specific features, layout, and insulation levels in the context of our North Carolina climate.

From there, our NATE-certified technicians complete most residential AC replacement projects in a single day. Following our fast, clean air conditioner installation, we verify system performance and walk you through the system’s operation to make sure you’re completely satisfied.

Choosing the Right Air Conditioner for Your Home

Selecting the appropriate AC installation or replacement requires understanding several crucial factors that affect performance and efficiency.

What SEER Ratings Mean and Why They Matter

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. SEER standards measure cooling output relative to energy consumption. A higher SEER rating equates to greater efficiency. For our hot, humid Raleigh summers, we typically recommend systems with SEER ratings of 16 or higher.

Central Air vs. Ductless Systems

Choosing between a central air installation for your home or a ductless system means weighing the pros and cons of each. Central air conditioning systems provide whole-home cooling through ducts, whereas ductless mini-splits offer more flexibility to cool specific areas. We’ll help determine which HVAC installation makes more sense based on your situation.

Smart Thermostat Integration

Pairing your new air conditioner replacement with upgraded smart controls is an additional option to consider. Today’s programmable thermostats can significantly enhance the performance and convenience of your new AC installation or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I know if I need to replace my air conditioner or just repair it?

If repairs cost more than 50% of a new air conditioner installation, or if your existing system is over 10 years old and has frequent issues, AC replacement is often the better long-term investment.

What size air conditioning unit do I need for my house?

Proper sizing for an air conditioning unit depends on your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window placement, and other considerations. As part of our new AC system installation services, we perform detailed calculations to determine the exact capacity appropriate for your house.

How long does it take to install a new AC unit?

Most standard new air conditioner installations are completed in one day, though more complex AC replacements may take two or three days.

Do I need to replace my thermostat or ductwork when I get a new AC system?

You don’t necessarily have to replace your thermostat or ductwork when investing in a new AC replacement, but upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can maximize efficiency. Evaluate ductwork during installation to see if modifications can improve overall performance.
