Common causes:
● Thermostat set to “ON” instead of “AUTO”

● Low refrigerant (heat pumps)
● Failed ignitor or gas valve

Cost Factors:

General Guidelines:
● 1,000-1,500 sq ft → 1.5-2 tons
● 1,500-2,000 sq ft → 2-2.5 tons
● 2,000-2,500 sq ft → 3-3.5 tons
● 2,500-3,000 sq ft → 3.5-4 tons
● 3,000+ sq ft → 4-5+ tons
Important: Proper sizing also considers insulation, windows, sun exposure, and ductwork. Our technicians perform professional load calculations (Manual J) to determine the exact size your home needs.
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures AC efficiency—like gas mileage for your cooling system.
● 13-14 SEER: Minimum efficiency, budget-friendly but higher operating costs
● 15-16 SEER: Mid-range, good balance for most homeowners
● 17-20 SEER: High efficiency, significant energy savings
● 20+ SEER: Premium efficiency, maximum savings plus utility rebates
In hot climates like ours, upgrading from 13 to 16 SEER saves $300-500 annually on energy bills.
Replace your AC if:
● The system is 12-15+ years old
● Frequent repairs (multiple times per season)
● Rising energy bills despite the same usage
● Uneven cooling throughout your home
● Uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out, expensive)
● Repair costs exceed 50% of new system price
Best replacement time: Spring or Fall when demand is lower and pricing is better.
By location:
● Kitchen: Grease, food particles, soap buildup (never pour grease down drains!)
● Bathroom: Hair, soap scum, toothpaste
● Toilets: Too much toilet paper, “flushable” wipes, foreign objects
● Multiple drains slow: Main sewer line problem (tree roots, pipe damage)
Professional solutions: We use drain augers, hydro-jetting, and video inspection to clear tough clogs.
