FAQs

AC Replacement FAQs

The $5,000 HVAC rule lets you decide whether to repair or replace an AC. You multiply the cost of any necessary repairs by your system's age. If it’s over $5,000, you should replace it. Under $5,000 suggests a repair is an acceptable option.

You can, but it’s better to trust the installation to a professional for standard central ACs, heat pumps, or mini-splits. Installing an AC is dangerous without the proper training or tools. It requires working with refrigerant and electrical systems.

If you want to install your own AC, it’s best to stick to a window or portable system or invest in a self-install mini-split.

Most central AC replacements average between $5,000 and $15,000. The wide range accounts for various sizes, energy efficiency, and potential ductwork or electrical modifications.

In Arizona, most ACs last between 8 and 15 years. They wear out quicker than national averages because the cooling season is much longer and more intense. Plus, all that desert dust can strain your system.

Not necessarily. ACs usually have a shorter lifespan than furnaces, so if your furnace still works well, you don’t have to replace it.

Many people choose to replace both their furnace and AC at the same time to save on labor costs and keep the warranties matched. Plus, your AC’s indoor unit uses your furnace’s blower motor. If you chose a high-efficiency AC, an older furnace may detract from the performance you paid for.
