Air conditioning is not just a luxury in Florida, it’s a necessity. The hot and humid climate makes a functional air conditioning system essential for comfort. As a property owner, a broken AC is not only an inconvenience, but often times a costly expense. When a repair is not possible, it is crucial to find a replacement both quickly and economically.
Replacing Your Broken AC
If your AC cannot be repaired and a replacement is needed, there are a couple of tips you should be aware of during the purchase process.
- Gather Estimates. Contact a reputable AC company and make sure they are willing to provide a free estimate. This is a standard practice in the industry, so if they are not willing to do so, move on to another.
- Expect Multiple Options. Your estimator should be providing you with multiple options. They should be thoroughly evaluating your space and be able to make multiple suggestions regarding brand, size, cost, and other variables.
- Making a Purchase. Once you are provided with options, decide which AC system makes the most sense based on your needs. Cost and efficiency are usually determining factors, but make sure you are thinking of your long terms goals and living situation when making a purchase. Also, consider the pros and cons of full payment versus financing.
- What to Expect After Purchase. You should expect certain things from the company you purchase from post-sale. First, they should assist with any required permitting. Next, they should remove all existing equipment and prepare the space for your new system. Finally, they should professionally install the new system, seal it, connect the thermostat, and take the time to teach you how to operate your new AC.
