AC installation and replacement in Columbus, GA
When an air conditioner is past repair, we size a new system to your house, explain the options, and install it so it cools evenly and runs the way it should.
When replacement makes sense
- The system is past about 12 to 15 years and repairs keep coming
- A major part such as the compressor or coil has failed
- An older R-22 system has a refrigerant leak
- Rooms never cool evenly no matter the setting
- The power bill keeps climbing with normal use
The efficiency floor in Georgia
Since 2023, a new central air conditioner under 3.75 tons installed in Georgia has to meet at least 14.3 SEER2, the federal minimum for the Southeast.
How we approach a new system
- Size the system to the house, not to the old unit on the pad
- Look at the ductwork, since a new unit on leaking ducts still loses air
- Lay out the options and what each one means for comfort and power use
- Set the new outdoor unit level, connect it, and test the charge
- Set up the thermostat and walk you through how it all runs
Questions about AC installation
How long does an AC system last in Georgia?
Many last 12 to 15 years. Long, hot summers, skipped maintenance, and a system sized wrong for the house can shorten that.
What size AC do I need?
It depends on the house: square footage, insulation, windows, sun, and ductwork. A unit that is too big cycles on and off and leaves the air damp; one that is too small runs all day.
Should I replace the indoor unit too?
Usually, yes. The outdoor unit and indoor coil are designed as a matched pair, and matching them is what gets the rated efficiency.
What refrigerant do new systems use?
Most new systems now use newer refrigerants such as R-454B or R-32, which replace R-410A in new equipment.
