Signs It’s Time to Replace Your AC
Although many AC problems can get fixed with a repair, sometimes it makes more sense to replace the unit. If you’re noticing a few of these or they keep coming back, it may be time to consider AC replacement in Tucson.
- The unit is older than 12 years
- You need multiple repairs in one year
- Rooms can’t ever fully cool down
- Spike in energy bills with no explanation
- Strange grinding or buzzing noises
- Outdated parts like R-22 refrigerant
Call us if you’re not sure where you fall on this list and we’ll give you a straight answer with numbers attached. Check our AC repair page to see what all we can repair.
Repair or Replace?
Typically we suggest to compare the age of the unit to the cost of the repair. If the cost gets close to half the price of a new installation, we’ll show you how a new AC in Tucson, AZ can actually save you money down the road. Newer systems also use a lot less energy and can even lead to a drop in your electric bills. We’ll lay out both options and not push you to make a decision either way.
Choosing the Right New AC for Your Tucson Home
Sizing Matters Most
You might think bigger is always better when it comes to AC units, but one that’s too big will wear out early and shut off constantly. And then one that’s too small can run all day without fully cooling any rooms. We look at the square footage of your home plus insulation and ductwork to get the perfect size system for your specific home.
System Type
Each home is different so we have unique options that include:
- Split systems with an outdoor condenser and indoor unit
- Packaged rooftop units with everything all in one place
- Ductless mini-splits that are great for homes without ductwork
If you’re interested in mini-splits for a home addition or finished garage, see our ductless HVAC page for more information.
Efficiency Ratings
Most newer air conditioning units come with higher SEER2 ratings meaning more cooling and less power usage. It’s ideal for Tucson homeowners who run the AC several months out of the year. We go over the ratings for each unit option recommended so you know exactly what you’re choosing before it goes in.

Tucson AC Installation FAQs
How long does AC installation take?
Most installs are done in one day. Jobs that need new ductwork or a system change like going from rooftop to split can take a little longer, and we’ll let you know ahead of time.
What happens to my old AC unit?
We take care of it for you as part of the AC replacement service.
My AC uses R-22, do I need to replace it?
R-22 isn’t made anymore and hard to source so you’re paying extra money for something that will only get more expensive and it’s worth considering a replacement.
Do you offer financing options?
We have flexible financing options for AC installation so you don’t have to shell out a ton of money at once and can pay over time.
