Why Should You Install New Air Conditioning?

If you already have an air conditioning system that's still functioning, is it impractical to replace it? Absolutely not. This section will help you figure out if it's time to replace your system.

Age

An air conditioning system usually can't last for more than 20 years, and even that can be pushing it. You should be looking into new systems if yours is 10-15 years old. Try to get it replaced before it gets too hot and air conditioning installation companies are harder to book.

This is why it's good to schedule annual air conditioning maintenance appointments. Small acts like cleaning the condenser unit and evaporator coils can make a lasting difference. Call 1-800-Plumber +Air of Pearland to schedule a yearly inspection to help your A/C last longer.

Increased Energy Costs

Another good sign that your A/C is past its prime is if your cooling bills keep going up with no clear explanation. If your system isn't performing properly, it's going to have to work harder. Unfortunately, it'll mostly end up expending more energy without doing anything for you. At this point, your current system can dig a further hole into your wallet.

There are practical measures you can take to keep your cooling costs reasonable without affecting your overall comfort levels. Purchase a smart thermostat that changes the temperature based on whether anyone's home. Don't turn your A/C off when you leave, because it'll just use a surplus of energy when you turn it back on. You can also keep your home cool by running ceiling fans counterclockwise and waiting until the evening to do laundry.

Frequent Repair Calls

Even the best A/C repair companies know when a system is past its prime. We can do repairs if you want them, but in many cases, you would be better off just replacing your system. While the initial investment can be high, the savings from not having to call for constant repairs are worth it.

This is another reason why it's so important to work with a reputable company. An unlicensed or unresearched air conditioning installation company could result in an inefficient installation. This could lead to a malfunctioning and potentially dangerous system. Call 1-800-Plumber +Air of Pearland for professional air conditioning installation you can trust.

Changing Needs

You might've needed a larger A/C when your children were younger and still lived with you. But if they've moved out or you're dealing with another domestic change, a bigger system can be unnecessary. You also might've mis-sized your A/C unit and need one that works better for your household.

If there's any part of your home that's not getting a suitable amount of cool air, you should look into air conditioning installation. Call 1-800-Plumber +Air of Pearland for help with finding the perfect A/C for your home.

How Much Does Air Conditioning Installation Cost?

There's no set number for how much air conditioning installation costs because there are too many variables to consider. However, you should expect to spend at least a few thousand dollars on a quality installation. These are some of the main factors affecting air conditioning installation cost:

Building Size

The air conditioning needs of a retail store are different from that of a two-story home. Your A/C should be able to move cool air to every part of the building. The bigger the space, the more expensive it's going to be.

However, don't feel obligated to get a bigger air conditioning because you think it's going to work better. There are excellent, smaller air conditioning systems that work great and keep you from wasting money and energy. At 1-800-Plumber +Air of Pearland, we carefully measure your space to determine the right size A/C.

Project Length

The more area to cover, the longer air conditioning installation is going to take. Subsequently, the more expensive it's going to be. That is, if you're working with a company that charges by the hour. While installation shouldn't take more than a day, a five-hour job and an eight-hour job can have pretty severe differences.

At 1-800-Plumber +Air of Pearland, we always charge by the job, not by the hour. After measuring your home, we'll give you a price and stick to it. We're committed to create trusting relationships every way we can, and we know that starts with honesty and integrity.

Type of A/C

While a central air conditioning system with ductwork is probably the most well-known, another kind has been gaining momentum. Ductless mini-split systems take up less room and are more efficient than central air. However, they can also be more expensive and more demanding.

Since there are no ducts sending air through vents, you need to install an indoor unit in multiple rooms. This can become very costly, especially if you have multiple bedrooms. You also need to clean the filters at least once a month. If your home and your budget can handle it, a ductless mini-split system can be a great investment.

Installation Time

If it's the middle of summer and you suddenly realize you need a new A/C, call right away. However, you should be prepared to pay more than you would in the spring or fall. Schedule a maintenance inspection when it's still reasonably cold out. Then, decide if you're ready for a new air conditioning installation.

How to Save Money on Air Conditioning

Just because your air conditioning installation cost was high, it doesn't mean the maintenance cost should be. These are some tips from 1-800-Plumber +Air of Pearland for how to save money on your air conditioning in the long run.

Switch to an Eco-Friendlier System

A major disadvantage of an older A/C is how much energy it consumes. To spend less on your cooling bills, look for energy-efficient alternatives. 1-800-Plumber +Air of Pearland can help you with selecting the best A/C for both performance and efficiency.

A good way to find an efficient A/C is by checking its Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. The SEER rating for A/Cs is usually between 13 and 21. The higher the number, the more you stand to save. In a hot climate like Pearland's, you definitely want to aim high. An ENERGY STAR label is also a good way to know if an A/C is efficient.

Replace Your Thermostat

Getting a smart thermostat is one of the best choices you can make. These let you choose the temperature throughout the day. While you might need your A/C on full blast when you're at home, you probably won't need it running quite so high when you're at work or on vacation.


When you get air conditioning installation with 1-800-Plumber +Air of Pearland, be sure to ask about our recommendations for thermostats. Over time, a few degrees can mean a world of difference. It can also look a lot more appealing than your outdated old thermostat.

Filter Maintenance

You don't need to be a certified A/C technician to clean and change your air filters regularly. Every month, you should clean them out, and every 90 days (or 60 days if you have pets), you should replace them. Putting this off means that your A/C has to strain itself to work, leading to greater bills.

Yearly Inspections

Have your A/C looked at once a year, if not more frequently. The entire unit can become compromised by something as simple as a dirty condenser. It's important to catch these early, and 1-800-Plumber +Air of Pearland are the best people to do it.

Once we install your air conditioning, we'd love to schedule annual inspections. You can also get in touch with us if you have any concerns about your system. We want to make sure you're getting the best from your air conditioning.
