Air Conditioning Replacement for Efficiency & Long-term Savings

Most of our customers aren’t building new homes — they’re replacing AC systems that no longer keep up. If your air conditioner is struggling to cool, driving up energy bills, or requiring constant repairs, it may be time to upgrade.

We’ll assess your current system, evaluate your home’s size and layout, and recommend the best replacement options for your comfort and budget.

Common signs it’s time to replace your AC:

Rising energy costs despite regular maintenance
Uneven cooling or frequent breakdowns
System is 10–15 years old or uses outdated refrigerant (like R-22)
Poor airflow or humidity issues indoors

AC Installation for New Homes or Renovations

Installing AC for the first time? Renovating an older home without central air? We design and install new systems from the ground up — including duct layout, load calculations, system sizing, and equipment selection.

If your home has central heating but no AC, we’ll assess whether the existing ductwork can be reused for cooling. In many cases, it can — as long as it’s properly sized, sealed, and in good condition. If not, we’ll walk you through options like duct upgrades or energy-efficient ductless systems.

We install high-efficiency air conditioners with modern SEER2 ratings, helping you lower energy costs while keeping your home consistently cool. Whether you’re upgrading a historic home in Church Hill or building in Chesterfield, we’ll match the right system to your layout, comfort goals, and long-term efficiency needs.

We help homeowners choose the right cooling system based on more than just square footage — factoring in ductwork condition, insulation, home orientation, and energy efficiency goals — whether it’s a new installation or a full system replacement.
