AC Replacement in Harlingen, TX

How to Know When It's Time to Replace Your AC Unit

Residential cooling systems are built to last for over a decade, but, like all appliances, they don't last forever. There are several factors that contribute to an AC unit's lifespan, such as how often it has been maintained over the years and the climate it was used in.

While it is normal for residents in the Rio Grande Valley to keep their air conditioning on for much of the year, the high heat combined with insufficient maintenance can put your unit at risk of failure. You may be stressing about whether your current unit needs to be repaired or replaced, but an honest HVAC technician who isn't interested in selling you a product you don't need can help.

Let the professionals at American AC & Heating provide you with an objective evaluation of your unit so you can make an educated decision about AC replacement in Harlingen.

Deciding Between AC Repair and Replacement

It can be difficult to decide whether AC repair or replacement is your best option. An experienced, trusted technician can help you make the most cost-effective and practical choice for your home based on your unit's condition, necessary repairs, and other factors.

Should I Replace My Air Conditioner or Have It Repaired?

Deciding between AC repair or replacement isn't an easy choice, and the answer can be different depending on a variety of factors, including the necessary repairs and the age of your unit. If your air conditioner is in good condition but needs some minor work, your technician may recommend a repair. However, if your air conditioner is older and has other problems, AC replacement may be your best option.

The expert Harlingen AC replacement team at American AC & Heating uses top-of-the-line replacement products from the best AC unit brands in the industry to provide customers with an efficient and reliable home cooling system. We'll help you determine which AC unit is right for your home and your budget.

Offensive Odors

An unpleasant smell coming from your vents can indicate mold, mildew, or just a lot of buildup on the filter that needs to be cleaned or replaced. Unfortunately, if the bad smell is coming from your unit itself, it's usually a sign that mildew or mold has begun growing in your AC system.

Hot and Cold Spots

If you notice that some rooms are much colder than others, and you know that your vents are open, then it's probably time to replace your AC unit. This is especially true; if you can't notice any drafts or the draft coming out your vents is much weaker than usual.

Your AC Costs More to Operate Than Your Fridge

It really goes without saying that some appliances are going to cost more to run than others, but if your energy bill doesn't even match other major appliances in your home, like your refrigerator, then it might be time to upgrade your cooling system.

Your AC Is Old

Before 2010, residential AC units didn't need to have a SEER rating that was any higher than 10. If you're using an air conditioner that's over a decade old in Harlingen, it has nearly become obsolete. This is especially true when you factor in all the changes that have been made in technology that are designed to make residential cooling systems more efficient and reliable.

Top Benefits of Replacing Your Air Conditioning System

Energy Savings: Did you know that 5-30% of your heating and cooling systems energy use is actually wasted? The amount of energy wasted depends on the health of your current system. Up to 30% of your energy use will be wasted if your current system is more than 10 years old. Apply for our financing and receive a $39 diagnostic fee when you replace your current system with a new HVAC from American AC & Heating.

Reduced repair costs: If your current system is over 10 years old, you may find that you are calling for repairs more frequently. Instead of spending money on another repair, consider the frequency and costs of your repairs, and decide if replacing your AC is a better option.

    Amazing service. My AC was fixed on a Saturday at 9 pm. Submitted a request, got a call within 5 minutes, and had an appointment the same day. Ended up buying a new unit installed by Monday. Within 3 days, I had a new AC. Will recommend American AC & Heating.
