Expert AC Replacement for Your Tigard Home

When the Oregon summer heat arrives, a reliable air conditioner isn't a luxury—it's essential for your family's comfort and well-being.

If you're constantly scheduling repairs or watching your utility costs climb, it may be time to consider a professional AC replacement.

Key Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Air Conditioner

Repairing an aging air conditioner can sometimes feel like a temporary fix for a long-term problem. While a single repair might solve an immediate issue, it's crucial to recognize when your system is signaling that its service life is coming to an end. Continuing to invest in an outdated unit can lead to greater expenses and inconvenience down the road.

Here are the most common indicators that it’s time to explore an AC replacement for your Tigard home:

1. Your System is Over 10-15 Years Old: Even with diligent maintenance, the typical lifespan of a central air conditioner is about 15 years. Older units are inherently less efficient and more prone to mechanical failure as components wear out.
2. Frequent and Costly Repairs: If you find yourself scheduling service calls every summer, the cumulative cost of repairs can quickly approach the price of a new, reliable system. A replacement offers a fresh start with modern, dependable technology.
3. Rising Energy Bills: Have you noticed a steady increase in your summer cooling costs without a change in your usage habits? This is a classic sign of declining efficiency. An aging AC has to work much harder to produce the same amount of cool air, consuming more electricity in the process.
4. Inconsistent Cooling and Hot Spots: Are some rooms in your home comfortable while others remain stubbornly warm? This indicates your current system can no longer distribute cool air evenly, a problem often solved with a properly sized and installed new unit.
5. Loud or Unusual Noises: Banging, grinding, or screeching sounds from your AC unit are serious red flags. These noises often point to significant mechanical issues with components like the compressor or motor, where a replacement is often the most cost-effective solution.
6. Your System Uses R-22 Refrigerant: This refrigerant (often known as Freon) has been phased out due to its environmental impact. Servicing R-22 systems is becoming increasingly expensive and difficult as the supply diminishes. Upgrading to a new system that uses modern, eco-friendly R-410A refrigerant is a smart, forward-thinking choice.

Our Meticulous AC Replacement Process

A successful AC replacement is more than just swapping out an old box for a new one. It’s a detailed process that requires precision, expertise, and a deep understanding of your home’s unique cooling requirements. Our proven approach ensures your new system is perfectly matched to your home for optimal performance and efficiency.

In-Depth Home Assessment and Consultation

Our process begins not with a sales pitch, but with a thorough evaluation of your home. A one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work. Our specialists will assess critical factors including your home's square footage, insulation levels, window quality, ductwork integrity, and sun exposure. We listen to your concerns about past performance and your goals for future comfort. This comprehensive analysis allows us to calculate the precise cooling load your home requires, ensuring your new unit is neither undersized nor oversized.

Selecting the Ideal High-Efficiency System

Armed with data from our assessment, we guide you through selecting the perfect air conditioning system for your needs and budget. We'll explain the importance of the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating and show you how a higher SEER unit can translate into significant long-term savings on your utility bills. We work with leading manufacturers to provide a range of reliable, high-performance options, helping you choose the system that will deliver the quiet, consistent comfort you deserve.

Safe and Responsible Removal of the Old Unit

Your old air conditioner will be removed with the utmost care. Our certified technicians will safely disconnect the system, paying close attention to electrical and refrigerant lines. We are committed to environmental responsibility, which means we ensure the old refrigerant is properly reclaimed and that all components of the old unit are disposed of according to strict industry and environmental regulations.

Professional and Precise Installation

The quality of the installation is just as important as the quality of the unit itself. This is where our expertise truly shines. Our team follows manufacturer specifications and local building codes to the letter. We ensure the new unit is placed on a solid, level pad, all electrical connections are secure, and the refrigerant lines are flawlessly connected and charged. We will then calibrate the system, test the airflow, and verify that every component is operating at peak performance before we consider the job complete. We’ll even walk you through the operation of your new thermostat and system features.
