When it comes to purchasing a new air conditioner, most homeowners are tempted to buy the most powerful cooling system they can afford. However, an AC system that\u2019s either too large or too small will create more problems than its worth, draining power from your system and failing to keep your home comfortable. Professionals use specific calculations to find the right size system for your needs.<\/p>\n
Our professionals will never rush through a job, however we are <\/em>going to be considerably more capable of installing the system much faster than a general handyman or the average homeowner would, as it\u2019s a job we have a lot of experience with. Replacements usually take a few hours and then you\u2019ll be all set.<\/p>\n An AC system that is improperly installed can lead to a unit that drains more power than it should. The placement of your system is important\u2014for example if the outdoor unit is in the wrong place, the longer refrigerant lines can lose energy and cause the system to overheat.<\/p>\n When an air conditioner isn\u2019t installed correctly, it is much more prevalent to wear and tear. On average, a poorly performing air conditioner\u2014so one that hasn\u2019t been installed correctly and\/or is not sized correctly\u2014will last about 5 years, whereas a professionally installed system can last up to two decades!<\/p>\n3.
