But it had a great run!

AC Installation and Replacement FAQs
The cost of AC replacement fluctuates depending on factors like the unit's size and type, installation complexity, and necessary additional components. Replacing a residential air conditioning unit could range from $3,000 to $7,000 or beyond. Energy efficiency ratings, brand reputation, and warranties also impact pricing. It's advisable to collect quotes from reputable HVAC professionals for a more precise cost tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
Yes, installing an A/C system is classified as a construction project by county governments, necessitating a permit. Florida mandates permits for all construction undertakings. Moreover, it's imperative for a licensed air conditioner contractor to register and obtain a certificate from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Factors such as room size, insulation, number of occupants, and local climate are considered to determine the appropriate cooling capacity (measured in BTUs or tons).
It's best to consult with a professional HVAC technician. They will perform a load calculation, which takes into account all these factors to determine the appropriate cooling capacity for your specific home. This ensures that you get a system that is neither too small (which would struggle to cool your home adequately) nor too large (which could cycle on and off frequently, leading to inefficiency and wear).

How Do You Know When You Need An Air Conditioner Replacement?
There are lots of times something can go wrong with your AC that can be fixed. If you're relatively early in the device's operational life, then repair is the way you'd want to go. But there are definitely signs to look out for so you know when it's time to get a new installation, including:
- It's Impersonating Metallica - Making odd noises is usually a sign your AC needs repair. However, if there are constant loud banging or grinding sounds, repair may no longer be an option.
- It's More Than 10 Years Old - Air conditioners have a usual lifespan of between 10-15 years, and obviously they'll last longer the better they're maintained. But once yours turns 10, you'll want to think less about sinking money into maintenance and repair and more about budgeting for a replacement.
- We're Sleeping In Your Spare Room - Frequent repair visits not only cost a lot of money but usually indicate there's something about your system that is fundamentally failing, whether due to poor manufacture or advanced age. Don't get us wrong, we love visiting, but we shouldn't be there all the time.
- Excessive Leaking - Your system will generate moisture - but it should also be able to move that moisture along where it isn't a problem. If your system is regularly leaking water - or worse, refrigerant - you might be past the point of repair.
- Steadily Increasing Power Bills - The worse shape your system is in, the harder it has to work to do its job - and that means pulling in more and more power. This equals a sharp rise in your power bill, and it may honestly save you money long-term to go ahead and get it replaced.
If you're noticing these things, give us a call. It might be hard to say goodbye to your old reliable unit, but it's also great to say hello to a brand-new system that's perfect for your home.
What Should You Look For In A New AC Installation?
Your Suncoast Home Solutions technician will help you find the right system for your home. But here are some things you'll want to consider:
- What is the efficiency rating of the new system? The higher the efficiency, the less power it consumes.
- What is the capacity? You don't want a system that's too big or too small for your home.
- What are the indoor air quality features? New systems have built-in air quality functionality to help clear your air.
- Are ductless units an option? If you want finer control over the temperature throughout your house, you should look at ductless mini-split AC systems.
