AC Replacement in Tupelo, MS

Signs your air conditioner is near the end

• Age over twelve years combined with a major component failure
• A refrigerant leak in the evaporator or condenser coil rather than at a fitting
• Two or more separate repairs in the last two cooling seasons
• Cooling bills climbing while comfort gets worse
• Rooms that no longer hold temperature on hot afternoons
• A system using a phased out refrigerant, which raises the cost of every future repair

How we frame the repair or replace decision

First we confirm the failure and the condition of the rest of the system, because a single bad part on an otherwise healthy ten year old unit is worth repairing. Then we look at the cost of the repair against the realistic remaining life.

If the repair is a meaningful share of a new system and the equipment is already near the end of its expected service life, replacement is usually the better use of the money. If it is not, we say so and repair it.

What a replacement project involves

A changeout replaces the outdoor unit and the matched indoor coil or air handler, along with the components that should not be reused: the disconnect, whip, pad, drain assembly, and often the line set filter drier.

We evaluate duct and airflow at the same time. Putting new equipment on a duct system that cannot deliver the airflow it needs is the most common reason a new system disappoints its owner.
