Signs It's Time for a New AC System

Don't wait until your system fails completely — watch for these warning signs

Age (15+ Years)

If your AC is 15-20 years old, it's near the end of its lifespan. New systems are 30-50% more efficient.

Frequent Repairs

Repair costs adding up? If repairs cost more than 50% of a new system, it's time to replace.

Rising Energy Bills

Older systems lose 5% efficiency per year. A new high-efficiency system could cut your bills by 30-50%.

Uneven Cooling

Hot spots in your home? Your system may be undersized or failing. We'll properly size your new system.

Strange Noises

Grinding, squealing, or banging sounds mean major components are failing. Time to upgrade.

Poor Indoor Air Quality

New systems filter air better, removing allergens, dust, and bacteria for healthier living.

AC Installation FAQs

Common questions about new AC system installation in Dallas-Fort Worth

How much does a new AC unit cost?

The cost of a new AC installation in the DFW area typically ranges from:

  • $4,000 - $6,500 for a basic 14-16 SEER system (2-3 ton)
  • $6,500 - $10,000 for a mid-tier 16-18 SEER system (3-4 ton)
  • $10,000 - $15,000+ for a premium 18-20+ SEER high-efficiency system (4-5 ton)

Factors that affect cost include system size (tonnage), SEER rating, brand/warranty, ductwork modifications, and installation complexity.

We offer free in-home estimates with upfront pricing. Call (972) 466-1917 for your free quote today.

How long does AC installation take?

Most residential AC installations take 6-10 hours (1 full day) for our team to complete. This includes removing your old system, installing the new outdoor condenser and indoor air handler, connecting refrigerant lines, testing all components, and completing a final inspection.

Larger homes or complex installations (multiple zones, significant ductwork modifications) may take 1.5-2 days.

Next-day installation available! In many cases, we can install your new system the very next day after your free estimate.

What size AC unit do I need for my home?

Proper sizing is critical for efficiency and comfort. General guidelines for Texas homes:

  • 1,000-1,500 sq ft: 2-2.5 ton
  • 1,500-2,000 sq ft: 2.5-3.5 ton
  • 2,000-2,500 sq ft: 3.5-4 ton
  • 2,500-3,000+ sq ft: 4-5+ ton

Proper sizing also depends on insulation, windows, ceiling height, sun exposure, and occupancy. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation during your free estimate to determine the exact size your home needs.

Should I repair or replace my AC?

Use the "$5,000 Rule": Multiply the repair cost × age of your system. If the result is over $5,000, replace it. If under $5,000, repair it.

Always replace if: Your system is 15+ years old, repairs cost more than 50% of a new system, major component failure (compressor, evaporator coil), R-22 refrigerant system (phased out), or frequent breakdowns (3+ repairs in 2 years).

Our technicians will always be honest about whether repair or replacement makes the most financial sense.

What is a SEER rating and why does it matter?

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures how efficiently your AC converts electricity into cooling. Higher SEER = lower energy bills.

  • 14-15 SEER: Minimum efficiency (legal minimum in Texas)
  • 16-17 SEER: Good efficiency — most popular choice
  • 18-20 SEER: High efficiency — 30-40% lower bills than 14 SEER
  • 20+ SEER: Premium efficiency — best long-term savings

Our recommendation: 16-18 SEER systems offer the best balance of upfront cost and long-term savings for most DFW homeowners.

Do you offer financing for AC installation?

Yes! We offer flexible financing options including 0% APR for 12-24 months (with approved credit), low monthly payments for 36-60 month terms, fast approval in minutes, and no prepayment penalty.

Example: $7,500 system financed for 60 months = ~$140/month. Many homeowners find their monthly financing payment is less than their energy savings!

What warranty comes with a new AC system?

New AC systems come with two types of warranties:

Manufacturer's Parts Warranty: 5-10 years on parts (varies by brand), up to 12 years on premium models. Covers compressor, coils, and major components.

Labor Warranty (from LEX): 1-2 years of labor coverage on our installation work.

Cool Club members get extended coverage! Learn more about Cool Club →

Can you install an AC system in the winter?

Yes! In fact, winter is the BEST time to install a new AC system. Benefits include better availability, flexible scheduling, manufacturer rebates, and being ready before summer heat arrives.

We install AC systems year-round in the DFW area. Don't wait until your old system fails in July — plan ahead and save!
