The brand on the cabinet matters far less than most people think. What decides whether a new AC delivers its rated efficiency for fifteen years is the installation, and a sloppy one gives away a big share of that efficiency on day one. Size it too large and it short-cycles, pulls out little moisture, and leaves your Denver home cool but clammy. Size it too small and it runs nonstop without ever catching up on the hottest afternoons. Denver HVAC avoids both by running a proper load calculation based on your square footage, insulation, window exposure, and ductwork, rather than simply copying the old unit's tonnage.
The repair homeowners call us about most is AC Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
Warning Signs for AC Installation
The sooner you notice these red flags, the easier and cheaper the fix. Watch for these telltale signs:
- An AC that cannot keep up on the hottest days, no matter how long it runs
- Your current AC is past the twelve-to-fifteen-year mark
- The house cools unevenly, with hot rooms the system never conquers
- The house feels cold but sticky, a classic sign of oversizing
- The system still uses phased-out R-22 refrigerant
- More frequent repairs, each one costing more than the last
- A major repair, like a dead compressor or leaking evaporator, on aging equipment
- Summer energy bills that keep rising as comfort drops
