Air Conditioner Replacement

In some cases, repairing your air conditioner may not be the most cost-effective solution. If your current system is outdated, inefficient, or has frequent breakdowns, it may be time for a full AC replacement. We’ll guide you through the selection process, helping you choose the right unit that meets your cooling needs and fits within your budget.

5 Signs You Need a New Air Conditioner

  • Your air conditioner is more than 10 years old and requires frequent repairs.
  • Your AC costs are skyrocketing, indicating an inefficient system.
  • Your home is not being adequately cooled, even after regular maintenance.
  • Your AC system emits strange noises or odors.
  • Your current unit uses outdated refrigerant that is no longer environmentally friendly.

What Should I Consider When Replacing My AC?

Replacing your air conditioner is a significant investment, and it’s essential to consider several factors before making a decision. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

  • SEER Rating: Opt for a unit with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating to ensure energy efficiency and lower operating costs.
  • Size and Capacity: Proper sizing of your AC system is crucial for maximum performance and energy savings. Consult with our experts to determine the right size for your home.
  • Cost: Consider the upfront cost of the unit, as well as long-term energy saving, and how much you’ll spend in repairs down the road.
  • Energy Efficiency: Look for AC systems with energy-efficient features, such as variable-speed motors and programmable thermostats.
  • Warranty: Evaluate the warranty options provided by manufacturers, ensuring that you have sufficient coverage for any potential issues.

Should I Repair or Replace My Air Conditioner?

When faced with an AC breakdown, the decision to repair or replace can be challenging. While repairs may seem like a cost-effective solution in the short term, there are instances where a replacement is a more viable option.

If the system is nearing the end of its lifespan, has frequent breakdowns, or requires costly repairs, it may be more economical in the long run to invest in a new unit. Additionally, upgrading to a higher efficiency AC system can help you reduce energy consumption and provide better cooling performance.

Can I get a free written estimate for a new HVAC system?


If you’re looking for a free estimate or a free quote on a new central air conditioning system in Sacramento, the answer is yes. The way to go about it is to call around to the companies you think have the best reputation or want to deal with and ask them if they give free estimates. Most companies will be more than happy to come out and assess your current system, measure your house, inspect the insulation levels and the windows, and see if there are any problem areas you’d like to have addressed

Here’s what to do if you’re looking for a free estimate for a new central heating and air conditioning system in Sacramento

  • Do your research first and find a few companies you’d like to work with.
  • Call or go online to their website and set an appointment for a free estimate or quote for a new system.
  • Let them come out to your home and expect to see them assess your current system.
  • Let them inspect your insulation levels and windows for infiltration.
  • Tell them about any problem areas in your home that may be too hot or too cold.
  • Get three quotes, but don’t always go for the cheapest. Go with who you feel best about.

In the Sacramento area, there are over 700 HVAC contractors. Some try to be the cheapest, while others are always the highest price around town. Most people usually go with the company in the middle that provides the most value. Cheap is not always going to be quality work. Quality work isn’t always going to be fast work. Fast and cheap are almost always not a good combination.

Good luck in your efforts to change out your central air conditioning system. And you can always schedule an appointment for a free estimate from Fox Family Heating & Air.

How much will I save with a new HVAC system?


This is a great question. People always ask if they will save money on their utility bills after buying a new central air conditioning system for their home.

The answer is that the average savings you’ll see each year on a new air conditioning system are about $300.00.

The typical cooling system in our area turns on and off three times every hour for 24 hours, 150 days a year. That’s almost 11,000 cycles a summer. That same system runs for 30 minutes every hour, for 24 hours, 150 days a year. That’s 1800 hours a year.

Here are a few reasons why you will see about $300 savings a year on a new HVAC system:

  • The compressor, condenser fan, and blower motors run at lower amperages.
  • The condenser and evaporator coils are larger, which gives the system a higher efficiency rating.
  • The installers are held to a higher standard for airflow through the system.

Here are a few reasons you might not see considerable savings in your utility bills after purchasing a new HVAC system:

  • New system owners tend to use their new system more than the old one.
  • Time-of-use for summer rates by electric companies increase annually.
  • Gas furnaces still use the same amount of fuel to heat your house.

If you want to discuss these savings and how to save even more than $300 a year on a new system by making some minor adjustments to your home, feel free to set your appointment through our website or give us a call. Either way, it’s a free consultation with one of our most experienced HVAC technicians at Fox Family,
