Air Conditioning Installation
Why does it always seem like your air conditioner dies on the hottest day of the year? It’s no coincidence. When it’s hot outside, your air conditioner works hard to cool your home to your set temperature and if you’ve put off fixing it for too long, multiple internal components can break and cause the system to stop working altogether. When this happens to you, it’s time to talk to Nardco Heating and Air Conditioning about air conditioning installation in Anderson, IN.

We understand that upgrading your air conditioning system is a big decision, but it’s often well worth it. Our team can help you make that decision, find you a quality system to replace it with, and provide professional installation to restore comfort in your home again.
Clues that Your Air Conditioner Is Due For A Replacement
There are a number of signs that you need to watch for that could indicate you need to replace your air conditioner. If you can recall these issues happening to your unit last year, then it’s best to be proactive and replace your air conditioner on your terms. It’s probably time to consider a new air conditioner if you’ve experienced multiple issues, such as:
AC Unit is 10-15 Years Old
If you find that your air conditioner is over 15 years old, and it is still having problems, it may be time to replace it. Some air conditioners can last longer than 15 years, while others fall short of this age. Maintenance and usage are big factors in determining how long your system will last. Most HVAC services companies will recommend replacing a system that’s over 15 years old and is experiencing frequent cooling problems.
System Still Uses Freon
Freon is a refrigerant that used to be used in air conditioners. However, it was found that freon or R-22 was incredibly harmful to the environment and has been phased out. Air conditioners that still use freon will find it incredibly expensive to maintain their systems. It’s best to upgrade your central air conditioner to a unit that doesn’t use a more environmentally friendly refrigerant.
Uneven Temperatures Around Your Home
A system that cannot maintain a consistent temperature throughout your house is struggling. It’s a good idea to check your system’s air filter to see if this helps with airflow. Common causes could also include leaky ductwork, an improperly placed thermostat, poor insulation, or a loss of refrigerant in your system. Oftentimes a new air conditioner can solve this problem easily.
High Cooling Costs
An old air conditioner may start leaking water or refrigerant. This can be a serious safety hazard, and it can drive up your utility expenses. A professional HVAC technician is trained to handle these hazardous chemicals. They can let you know if your system needs to be replaced.
Frequent Repairs
It’s not abnormal to have your air conditioning fixed once a season, but much more than that is a sign of a big problem. Stop sinking your money into an old system and upgrade to a new air conditioner to save on repair costs.
The Air Conditioning Buying Process
Buying a new air conditioning system is like buying a car. You need to know your budget and a few features you want to have before purchasing a new system. Our team can help you navigate through all the factors you need to consider when buying a new AC.
- SEER Rating – The SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio rating measures the amount of cooling the system produces for every unit of energy it consumes. The better the SEER rating, the more efficient the unit is, and the more money it may help you save on your utility bills.
- Proper AC Sizing – Make sure you purchase the right air conditioner for the size of your home. You do not want it to be too big because you don’t want to spend more money than you have to, and a unit that is too small might not cool your home properly.
- Noise Levels – You should also check the noise level of the air conditioner. Some homeowners don’t mind noisy units if they are located outside of unused space in the house, but if your unit is right near your bedroom window, you might want to make sure your new air conditioner is whisper quiet.
- Indoor Air Quality Add-Ons – Many new HVAC systems can be equipped with indoor air quality improvements after they’ve been installed. Make sure that if you want an air purification system or a dehumidifier added to your air conditioner you can do so.
- Hiring a Professional HVAC Contractor– If there is a particular brand of air conditioner you want, make sure you work with the factory dealer that provides those systems. Certain manufacturers offer rebates and knowing which brand has the best deal may save you money. Installing an air conditioner is not a DIY job, and you can trust a factory dealer to provide you with safe and reliable installation services.
