Heating and Air Questions

What is the average life of a central air conditioning system?

Air Conditioning systems typically last 10-12 years depending on usage and upkeep. Systems that have regular AC maintenance performed tend to have a longer lifespan than those that do not. If your air conditioning system is nearing 10 years, you are noticing an increase in electric bills, or your home is not as cool as it once was, it may be time to consider a replacement. At Laconsay Air & Heating we offer free system replacement estimates to help your family determine the right air conditioning system for your comfort needs.

What is the average cost of replacing an air conditioning unit?

The average cost to replace your air conditioning unit depends on several factors. From SEER of the unit (seasonal energy efficiency rating) to the size of your home there are many things to consider when replacing your AC system. If you are considering a system replacement Laconsay Air & Heating can help. We offer free system replacement estimates to allow you to decide which unit is right for your home and your cooling needs.

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

If your AC system is running but not cooling you may have a clogged condenser coil. A licensed HVAC technician can help diagnose the problem as well as repair it. If your air conditioner stops cooling we recommend calling a qualified heating and air company immediately. Don’t let a small problem turn into a large headache.

How often should an air conditioner be serviced?

At Laconsay Air & Heating we recommend having your AC system serviced twice per calendar year. Having semi-annual maintenance performed on your air conditioning unit will help ensure your comfort all year long as well as help extend the life of your system. Our licensed HVAC technicians are here to help you stay comfortable in all seasons.

What would cause my AC not to come on?

There are several reasons an AC system may not come on. If you have this issue, check your thermostat for loose or disconnected wires. Wires that are frayed or disconnected will not allow your AC system to turn on. Another issue could be a faulty or broken thermostat. If you look into these two solutions and still have an issue, give us a call. We are here to help.
