Expert AC Installation Services in Sarasota

AC & Heating Units Installed by AC Today

We happily service any kind of heating and cooling equipment, but we only install equipment we believe in. Because we have hot summers and mild winters here in Southwest Florida, we recommend and install heat pumps. Heat pumps are energy-efficient and ideally suited to our climate.

You can choose between two main types of heat pumps:

1. Ducted/Traditional Heat Pumps: These are ideal for homes with ducted central heating and cooling systems, using the existing ductwork to distribute air throughout the home.
2. Ductless Mini Splits: These are perfect for homes without existing ductwork or for room additions that aren’t connected to the main duct system. Ductless mini splits provide targeted heating and cooling to specific areas without needing ducts, making them versatile and efficient.

Our Comprehensive HVAC Services Include:

• Air Conditioners
• Heat Pumps
• Air Handlers
• Furnaces
• Thermostats
• Single & Multi-Zone Ductless Systems
• Indoor Air Quality Solutions

When to Replace Your AC System

As your AC ages, it's time to start thinking about its replacement. Proactively monitoring for poor performance can help you time the replacement correctly, such as before your energy bills start to skyrocket or before your unit breaks down and you have to schedule an emergency replacement. Some of the signs it's time for AC replacement in Sarasota, FL, are: 

• Overall age. Once your unit is more than 15 years old, you should start thinking about new options and deciding if extensive repairs make sense. 
• Frequent repairs. If you find yourself scheduling frequent repairs, especially if they're expensive ones, it might be more cost-effective to just replace your unit.
• Higher energy bills. Over time, AC units become less efficient due to misalignment, motor wear, and other hard-to-fix problems.
• Inconsistent cooling. This can happen if your AC has lower cooling power. It can also happen if you renovate or expand your home and the AC is no longer a good match. 

Thinking about replacing your AC ahead of time gives you more control over the unit you pick, your schedule, and the total cost of the project.  

Choosing the Right AC System

Before your air conditioner installation in Sarasota, FL, you have an opportunity to choose the perfect AC unit for your home. You can choose from a wide range of different price points depending on the type of system and what features it offers. As you compare different units for AC installation in Sarasota, FL, consider these factors: 

• Home size, as each unit will be rated based on capacity, air flow, and how much space it can adequately cool
• Energy efficiency (SEER), with some units being specially rated for energy savings
• Whether your home has ducts, which lets you easily install a central cooling system, or is ductless, which means you can either focus on ductless units or explore the costs of installing ducts in your home

Along with conventional AC systems, you might also consider heat pumps. Heat pumps "pull" heat and humidity out of the air, effectively cooling homes with much lower energy consumption.

Installation vs. Repair Decision

Many homeowners are hesitant to replace their AC unit when repairs are still possible. Repairs often make sense when the unit is newer or is still covered by its warranty. However, if your unit requires frequent repairs or repairs totaling more than around 30% of the replacement cost, it's often best to start thinking about AC replacement in Sarasota, FL. When repairs may cost less in the moment, repairing an older unit or making a repeat repair often means you'll be paying for similar repairs in the future.
