HVAC Replacement in Elkton, FL


Elkton, FL, is a paradise for those who crave both rural living and easy access to the amenities of bigger cities. This charming community sits just a few miles from St. Augustine and has natural attractions like the St. Johns River and Deep Creek Conservation Area.

If you’ve come home to a broken air conditioner after a day of exploring the town, it may be time for AC replacement in Elkton, FL. Southern Air Heating & Cooling is the top provider of new air conditioner installation in Elkton, and we’ll help you choose the perfect AC for your home. Call us to schedule your AC unit change today.

Is It Time for an Air Conditioning Replacement? Here’s How To Tell

Not sure whether your air conditioner is due for an upgrade? Here are the signs that you should schedule AC replacement sooner rather than later:

  • Your AC is around 10 to 15 years old. Air conditioners start to develop major problems around this time, and the cost of repairs may eventually outweigh the price of a new unit. It’s better to replace yours now before you’re stuck with a pile of costly repair bills.
  • Your energy bills are suspiciously high, but you haven’t changed your electricity usage. High energy bills could indicate that your AC is failing. Older units are also much more inefficient compared to newer models.
  • The system takes forever to cool your home even though there’s nothing mechanically wrong with it. This typically happens when the AC is too small or too large for your home. Our pros will help you select the right-sized air conditioner for the square footage of your house.
  • You’d like to swap your AC out for a different type of unit, such as a heat pump. This is a smart move because heat pumps work well in warm climates, like Florida’s.

Choosing the Perfect Air Conditioner Upgrade for Your Home

You’ve decided that it’s time to replace your air conditioner, but which cooling system should you pick for your AC replacement in Elkton, FL? Here’s how to choose.

Central air conditioning is the most common type of AC in Elkton. A central AC system includes a condenser unit that pressurizes refrigerant, transfers it to the unit’s evaporator coils, and then sends cool air throughout your home. If you already have a central AC system and want to stick with something familiar, this could be the best choice for your home.

Heat pumps are an excellent pick for warm climates. They provide heating as well as cooling, sparing you from having to install a separate furnace. These units draw energy from the ground and air to heat or cool your home. Because they don’t rely on electricity, they’re much cheaper to run than central AC units.

Ductless mini-splits are a suitable pick for homes that don’t have space for ductwork. These systems include air handlers that are mounted on walls throughout your home. Each handler has its own thermostat, enabling you to customize the temperature in different rooms of the home.

FAQs

Should You Replace an Old Air Conditioner?

You may want to replace an old air conditioner if it’s around 10-15 years old, even if the unit is still working well. That’s because newer air conditioners are much more efficient than yesterday’s models. You could save a nice chunk of change on your cooling bills by upgrading to a new unit.

How Long Does It Take To Replace an Air Conditioner?

It usually takes about four to eight hours to replace an air conditioner. This includes removing the old unit, installing the new one, calibrating the thermostat, and ensuring that the new system works properly.

How Much Does AC Replacement in Elkton, FL, Cost?

AC replacement cost varies depending on the type and brand of system you choose. The cost to install a basic system will run you about $8,000 to $12,000, while the average installation costs about $13,000 to $18,000.

Robert is an excellent HVAC technician! I have been using Artic Air for years and became disgusted with their high pressure sales tactics. Robert handled my questions professionally-very informative.
