Air Conditioning Replacement

Air Conditioning Replacement & Installation

In need of a brand new AC unit? We've got you covered!

The first step in replacing your current New Bern, North Carolina air conditioner is to schedule an appointment with the HVAC experts at Scott Plumbings & Heating. Our team will have to determine exactly what you, your family, and your home needs to improve your indoor air conditioning environment. The next step in the AC replacement & installation process is having a professional load calculation performed so that the new air conditioner is properly sized to your home. A wrong calculation can negatively impact your comfort and your energy bills.

Measuring Your Indoor Environment

Our team starts by measuring the interior space of your home and then we factor in the number of people occupying the space. We allow for the size and energy efficiency of doors and windows and then factor in the direction that they face. From the greater area of New Bern, North Carolina, we have years of experience on the local weather. We know how it can impact the amount of cool air and heat it will take for your brand new air conditioner to keep your home comfortable and energy efficient. Our team will ensure that there is plenty of insulation to keep your AC unit running at peak efficiency!

AC Replacement - The Importance of Proper Sizing

Our professionals talk about proper sizing with our customers for several different reasons during our AC replacement and installation process. A lot of people assume that the bigger the air conditioner, the better but this is not the case. A unit that is not properly sized will fail in many ways whether it is too big or too small.

When you install an oversized air conditioner, it will:

Use more energy than necessary as it turns on and off too often
Leave hot and cold spots around the home from uneven cooling
Experience more frequent repairs from constant cycling
Have a shorter lifespan because it’s not suited to the space

When you install an undersized air conditioner, it will:

Run constantly, creating high utility bills
Experience excessive wear and a shorter lifespan
Have more frequent repairs from strain on the parts
Leave warm spots in the further reaches of the house since it’s undersized

When to Consider a New Air Conditioning Installation

An air conditioner that is properly maintained and well taken care of can last you around 15 years. In the perfect world, you would want to start considering your new air conditioning system replacement and installation before your current AC system breaks down or reaches the end of its lifespan. This will give you time to thoroughly consider all of your options when it comes to finding the best purchase for your cooling needs in your New Bern, NC home. Below are some common signs that it might be time to start thinking about a brand new air conditioner.

You have an unexplained increase in your energy bills
Your AC unit needs frequent and costly repairs
Your AC unit is not cooling to the temperature in which your thermostat is set at
Your home feels stuffy or humid
The AC system makes more noise than usual

If you’re experiencing one or more of these warning signs, it’s a good idea to call one of the technicians here at Scott Plumbing & Heating to assess the situation. We can inspect your air conditioner and let you know if a few minor repairs will solve your problems or if it’s time to look into a replacement.
