Air Conditioning Unit Replacement

What Life Looks Like After

Your home stays consistently cool, even during those brutal July afternoons when it’s 95 degrees with 80% humidity. No more hot spots in the back bedrooms or living room that never quite gets comfortable.

Your energy bills drop because newer units don’t have to work as hard to keep up. Instead of that old system running constantly and still struggling, you get the temperature you want without the electric company getting rich.

You stop worrying about breakdowns during the worst possible times. New systems with proper installation mean fewer emergency calls and more predictable comfort. When you do need service, you’re dealing with equipment that’s still under warranty and contractors who know exactly what we installed.

Our team holds proper licensing for Louisiana HVAC work and manufacturer certifications for the equipment we install. We’re not the guys who show up, quote you a price, and disappear after installation.

Replacing AC System Process

Here's How We Handle It

First, we assess your current system and home layout to determine the right size and type of replacement unit. No guessing or using the same size as your old system just because that’s what was there before.

We provide a written estimate that breaks down equipment costs, installation labor, and any additional work needed like ductwork modifications or electrical updates. You know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.

Installation typically takes one day for most residential replacements. We remove your old system, install the new equipment, test everything thoroughly, and walk you through the new system’s operation. Your home stays as comfortable as possible during the changeover.

After installation, we handle the manufacturer warranty registration and provide you with all documentation. You get our contact information for any questions or service needs down the road.

What's Included in Replacement

Complete removal and disposal of your existing air conditioning unit and related components. We handle the heavy lifting and cleanup so you don’t have old equipment sitting in your yard.

Professional installation of your new system includes proper refrigerant lines, electrical connections, and ductwork connections. We test airflow, check refrigerant levels, and verify that your new system is operating at manufacturer specifications.

In Amite City, we often encounter homes where the existing ductwork needs attention during replacement. We identify any issues that could reduce your new system’s efficiency and discuss options that make sense for your situation and budget.

You receive manufacturer warranty coverage on equipment plus our installation warranty. We also provide operating instructions for your specific system and maintenance recommendations to keep it running efficiently through Louisiana’s demanding climate.

How do I know if I need AC replacement versus repair?

If your system is over 10-12 years old and requiring frequent repairs, replacement usually makes more financial sense. When repair costs start approaching 50% of a new system’s cost, you’re throwing money at a declining asset. Also, if your energy bills keep climbing despite regular maintenance, your old system is probably working too hard to keep up. Louisiana’s climate is tough on AC equipment, and older systems often can’t handle the constant demand efficiently. We can assess your current system and give you an honest comparison of repair costs versus replacement benefits.

What size AC unit do I need for my home?

Proper sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, and Louisiana’s specific climate factors. Many older homes in Amite City have oversized or undersized units because contractors used quick calculations instead of proper load assessments. An oversized unit cycles on and off too frequently and doesn’t remove humidity effectively. An undersized unit runs constantly and never quite keeps up. We perform load calculations that account for your home’s specific characteristics to determine the right capacity for consistent comfort and efficiency.

How long does AC replacement take?

Most residential AC replacements take 6-8 hours for a complete changeover. We typically start early morning and have your new system running by late afternoon. If we encounter issues like outdated electrical panels or ductwork problems, it might extend to a second day, but we’ll identify potential complications during our initial assessment. We work efficiently to minimize the time your home is without cooling, especially during Louisiana’s hot months. Emergency replacements during peak summer sometimes require working longer hours to get your family comfortable again quickly.

Do you offer financing for AC replacement?

Yes, we understand that AC replacement is often an unexpected expense, especially when your system fails during peak summer. We work with financing companies that specialize in HVAC equipment to offer payment plans that fit different budgets. Options typically include same-as-cash periods and extended payment plans with competitive rates. We can discuss financing options during your estimate appointment so you know all your choices upfront. The goal is making necessary AC replacement affordable without compromising on equipment quality or proper installation.

What brands of AC units do you install?

We install several major brands that perform well in Louisiana’s climate, including units from manufacturers known for reliability in high-humidity, high-usage environments. Rather than pushing one specific brand, we recommend equipment based on your budget, efficiency goals, and home requirements. Some homeowners prioritize maximum efficiency for lower operating costs, while others focus on reliable mid-range units with good warranty coverage. We’re certified to install and service multiple brands, so we can match equipment to your specific needs rather than limiting your choices.

What warranty comes with AC replacement?

New AC equipment comes with manufacturer warranties that typically cover parts for 5-10 years depending on the specific model and brand. Many manufacturers also offer extended warranty options for additional coverage. Our installation work is covered by our labor warranty, which protects you against installation-related issues. We handle all warranty registration with manufacturers and provide you with complete documentation. If warranty issues arise, we coordinate with manufacturers and handle the service work. Having local contractors who installed your system means faster response times and someone who knows exactly how your equipment was set up.
