What AC installation and replacement covers
AC replacement
Signs your Cedar Park AC is ready for replacement
- ✓The system is past 12 years. Units here often last 10 to 15 years. Long summers and cedar pollen shorten that.
- ✓You have paid for repairs two summers in a row. Repair bills tend to arrive in clusters as parts wear out together.
- ✓It runs on R22 refrigerant and has a leak. R22 is no longer made, so the refrigerant alone can cost more than the repair is worth.
- ✓Some rooms never cool. Upstairs bedrooms and rooms with west facing windows are the usual victims. Sometimes the ducts are the problem and sometimes the system is too small.
- ✓The unit is loud, or it starts and stops every few minutes. Short cycling wears out the compressor.
- ✓Your electric bill has crept up with no change in how you live. Old systems lose efficiency each year they run.

Questions about AC installation in Cedar Park
Should I repair or replace my AC?
Use the age times repair quote test above, and ask for both prices on the same call. If it is a simple fault on a system under 10 years old, repair it. If it is a major part on a system past 12 years, get a replacement quote before you decide.
What size AC unit do I need for my home?
It depends on the house and not only the square footage. Ask for a load calculation. As a rough guide Cedar Park homes often run from two to five tons, but the calculation decides.
How much does a new AC unit cost in Cedar Park?
It depends on the size, the efficiency rating, the brand and how much duct work is needed. A full system replacement runs to four figures at the least. Ask for a free written quote, and expect us to want a look at the house first.
Do you service Carrier, Lennox and Goodman units?
Yes for installation and repair. Tell us the brand and age of the unit when you call.
Will a new system need new ductwork?
Not always. We test the existing ducts for leaks and airflow first, and sealing and insulating them is often enough.
How long does an installation take?
A straightforward change out of an outdoor unit and indoor coil is often done in a day. Jobs with new ducts or a new furnace take longer. Ask for the expected time when you get the quote. Heating and heat pump options are covered in the heat pump guide.
What is SEER2 and what rating should I choose in Texas?
SEER2 is the efficiency rating for air conditioners, and a higher number uses less electricity. Federal rules set a minimum for Texas. A rating above the minimum costs more up front and tends to repay faster where summers are long, so ask us to show the numbers for your house.
How many tons of AC do I need for a 2,000 square foot house?
Old rules of thumb land near three to four tons. The real figure depends on insulation, windows, the attic and sun exposure, which is why a written load calculation beats any rule.
Is a variable speed air conditioner worth it?
It can be. Variable speed units run longer at lower speeds, which holds the temperature steadier and pulls more moisture from the air. They cost more up front, so ask for both quotes and compare the running cost.
Can I replace only the outdoor AC unit?
Sometimes, but the indoor coil has to match the outdoor unit. Mismatched parts cut efficiency and can void the warranty. Most companies replace both together, especially on a system past ten years old.
Do I need a permit to replace my air conditioner?
Most Texas cities require a mechanical permit for a system change out, and we normally pull it. Ask whether the permit fee is in the quote.
Which AC brand is the most reliable?
No brand wins every comparison. Installation quality and yearly maintenance decide how long a system lasts. Compare the warranties, the labour warranty most of all, and the model numbers in each quote.
