Air Conditioning (AC) Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to replace a central air conditioning unit?
Nationally, the average cost for replacing a central air conditioning unit ranges between nearly $700 and over $4,600. You can reduce the need for this by enrolling in our VIP program, which gives you access to diagnostic services on your existing AC for an extended period.
How often do you need to add Freon to a central air conditioning unit?
Most air conditioners actually ship pre-filled with enough refrigerant to last for the duration of the unit’s lifespan. In other words, refilling your AC with refrigerant is not something you need to do on a regular basis. The need for this can arise, however, if you have a leak. You’ll need to call a tech to have the leak fixed before they add new refrigerant.
As for Freon itself, supply of this refrigerant is quickly dwindling due to a ban of its manufacture in the United States as of 2020. If your system still uses Freon, you will need to eventually either replace it or have it retrofitted to work with other refrigerants that have not been banned.
How do you clean a window air conditioning unit?
Window air conditioning units are susceptible to developing mildew. If you notice a strange smell coming from the air conditioner, this is a likely culprit. Fill a spray bottle with 3% hydrogen peroxide, switch the air conditioner off and then spray the intake and outtake areas thoroughly. Turn the air conditioner on, which will allow it to dry.
What is the average life of a central air conditioning system?
On average, a central air conditioning system should last between 12 and 15 years — but only if you maintain it properly. This lifespan is constantly increasing as new units incorporate better and better technology.
How do I know if my air conditioning compressor is bad?
A faulty air conditioner compressor produces several noticeable symptoms. You’ll likely notice some strange sounds coming from the unit, including rumbling, chattering, and ticking. You’ll also find the air conditioner is leaking fluid and blowing minimal air that is warm.
IT'S HARD TO STOP A TRANE
BUYER BEWARE:
Most air conditioning companies pay their service techs by commission with some paying no hourly wage at all. It is routine for techs to recommend parts and units that are not required.
