How We Handle Your Replacement

First, we evaluate your current system and your home’s actual cooling needs. No guessing, no overselling. We measure your space, check your ductwork, and determine what size unit will actually work efficiently.

What's Included in Your Replacement

You get proper system sizing based on your home’s actual needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. We handle all the removal of your old equipment and disposal. Your new air conditioning unit gets installed with attention to refrigerant lines, electrical connections, and ductwork modifications if needed.

We test everything before we leave. Airflow, temperatures, thermostat operation, and system cycling. You get manufacturer warranties on your equipment plus our warranty on the installation work.

Most Madisonville homeowners are surprised how much better their home feels with a properly sized and installed system. The difference isn’t just temperature – it’s humidity control, air quality, and consistent comfort throughout your house.

How do I know if I need AC replacement or just repairs?

If your system is over 10-12 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement usually makes more financial sense. When repair costs start reaching 50% of a new system’s cost, or if your energy bills keep climbing despite repairs, it’s time to replace. Also, if your AC can’t keep up with Louisiana heat even after repairs, the system is likely undersized or worn out beyond effective repair.

How long does AC replacement take in Madisonville?

Most residential AC replacements take 4-8 hours for a straightforward swap. If we need to modify ductwork, upgrade electrical, or handle other complications, it might take a full day. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront. We know you need your AC working, especially during summer, so we work efficiently without cutting corners on the installation quality.

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

Size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, and Louisiana’s specific climate demands. Bigger isn’t always better – an oversized unit won’t remove humidity properly and will cycle on and off too frequently. We do proper load calculations to determine the right size. Most Madisonville homes need between 2-5 tons of cooling capacity, but we measure rather than guess.

How much does AC replacement cost in Madisonville, LA?

Costs vary based on system size, efficiency rating, and installation complexity. Basic units start around $3,000-4,000 installed, while high-efficiency systems can run $6,000-8,000 or more. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your specific situation. Financing options are available, and remember that a more efficient system often pays for the difference through lower energy bills over time.

Should I replace just the outdoor unit or the whole system?

If your indoor and outdoor units are mismatched in age or efficiency, replacing both usually works better. Mixing old and new components can reduce efficiency and void warranties. However, if your indoor unit is newer and compatible, sometimes you can replace just the outdoor unit. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach that actually works.

What's the best time of year for AC replacement in Louisiana?

Fall through early spring offers the best timing – you’re not desperate, contractors aren’t slammed, and you have time to research options. However, we handle emergency replacements year-round because Louisiana heat doesn’t wait. If your system fails during summer, don’t suffer through it. We stock common units and can usually get you back up and running quickly even during peak season.
