Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does It Take to Install a New AC?

For a standard residential AC replacement with existing ductwork, the installation typically takes between four and eight hours, meaning we can often have your home cooling down in a single day. More complex projects, such as those requiring new ductwork or electrical upgrades, may take up to three days. Regardless of the timeline, we stay focused on high-quality workmanship to get your system up and running correctly.

What Seer Rating Should I Look for in a New AC?

For homeowners in Clackamas, the minimum efficiency standard for a new air conditioner is currently set at 13.4 SEER2 (which is equivalent to the old 14 SEER rating) under the latest federal Northern Region regulations. While this is the baseline required for installation, our increasingly hot Pacific Northwest summers make a higher rating a more practical investment.

Upgrading to a system with a 16 to 18 SEER2 rating can provide a better balance of upfront cost and long-term utility savings, and many of these high-efficiency models qualify for federal tax credits or local incentives available to Oregon residents. Our team can help you look at your specific home layout to determine if a baseline unit or a premium high-efficiency system is the most effective way to keep your space cool and your energy bills predictable.

How often should I replace my air conditioner in Clackamas?

Most central air conditioners can last around 15 years with proper maintenance, although lifespan varies based on equipment quality, installation, usage, and upkeep. If an older system requires frequent repairs or struggles to cool your home, replacement may be worth considering.

What should I consider when choosing a new AC system?

Consider the size of your home, existing ductwork, insulation, energy efficiency, comfort needs, and budget. An HVAC professional can evaluate these factors and recommend equipment that is appropriately sized for your home.

Can a new AC system improve indoor comfort?

Yes. A properly sized and installed air conditioner can provide more consistent temperatures and better humidity control than an aging or improperly sized system. Variable-capacity equipment can also adjust its cooling output as conditions change.

Is it better to repair or replace an older air conditioner?

The right choice depends on the system's age, condition, repair history, efficiency, and expected remaining service life. A professional evaluation can help determine whether continuing to repair the existing unit or investing in a replacement makes more sense.

Should I replace my ductwork when installing a new AC?

Not necessarily. Existing ductwork may be suitable for a new air conditioner if it is properly sized, sealed, and in good condition. However, damaged, poorly insulated, or incorrectly sized ducts can affect the performance of a new system and may need attention during installation.

Can I install a new AC if I have an older furnace?

In many homes, a new air conditioner can be paired with an existing furnace. However, the equipment must be compatible, and the technician should evaluate the furnace, indoor coil, ductwork, electrical connections, and other components before installation.

What happens to my old air conditioner after replacement?

During an AC replacement, the existing equipment is removed so the new system can be installed. Refrigerant and other components should be handled and disposed of according to applicable environmental and safety requirements.

When is the best time to install a new air conditioner?

Installing an AC system before your existing unit fails can give you more time to compare equipment and schedule the work. Spring or other periods before peak cooling demand can also make it easier to prepare your home for warmer weather.

Does a new AC require a new thermostat?

Not always. Some existing thermostats can work with replacement equipment, while advanced systems may require a compatible thermostat or control. Your technician can determine whether your current thermostat is suitable for the new system.

How can I prepare my home for AC installation?

Clear access to the indoor and outdoor equipment, move fragile or valuable items away from the work area, and make sure technicians can reach the thermostat and other HVAC components. Your installation team can explain any additional preparations before work begins.
