A standard residential AC installation typically takes between 4-8 hours, depending on various factors such as system size, complexity, and whether any ductwork modifications are needed. Simple replacements might be completed in a single day, while more complex installations requiring ductwork changes may take 2-3 days. Our technicians always provide a specific timeline estimate before beginning the installation process.

Common signs your AC needs repair include: insufficient cooling, unusual noises (grinding, scraping, or squealing), weak airflow from vents, frequent cycling on and off, unexpected increases in energy bills, water leaking around the unit, and strange odors when the system runs. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's best to call for professional service before the issue worsens and potentially causes more extensive damage.

Standard 1-3 inch filters should be changed every 30-90 days, depending on factors like pets, allergies, and system usage. Homes with pets or allergy sufferers should change filters monthly. High-efficiency filters (4-5 inches thick) can last 6-12 months. Regular filter changes improve air quality, increase system efficiency, and prevent strain on your AC that could lead to breakdowns.
