How long will my air conditioning system last?

With regular maintenance, most air conditioning systems will last 12 to 15 years, while some high-quality systems may last up to 20 years before an AC replacement is necessary. To get the longest service life from your AC unit, change the air filter often, keep the area around the outdoor unit free of debris, repair problems as soon as they are found, and scheduleregular AC tune-up services.

What does an AC installation include?

Our HVAC experts will evaluate your home and calculate its cooling needs based on its size, layout, number of rooms, insulation quality, occupancy, and more. Then we will prepare an estimate, and if accepted, the installation process will begin. We will remove any old equipment, install your new unit, test it thoroughly, explain the operation, and leave the work area clean.

Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?

If your air conditioning system is less than 10 years old and has only minor problems,AC repairswill likely be the best option. Once your system is over 10 years old and has frequent issues or needs a major part replaced (such as the compressor) upgrading to a newer, energy-efficientAC systemis often the smarter financial option.

Signs Your Air Conditioner May Need Replacement

One of the biggest indications that your air conditioner system needs replacement is if it’s older than 15 years. Here in Greenville, 74% of homes were built at least 10 years ago, which means your air conditioner could need replacement if it hasn’t been upgraded since the time your property was built. In addition to the age of your system, you might need AC replacement if you notice any of the following symptoms affecting your unit:

Insufficient cooling
Poor airflow and ventilation
Moisture buildup around the AC
Unusual sounds coming from your system
Strange smells coming from your vents
Unusual spikes in energy expenses

If you’ve noticed the warning signs of needed air conditioner replacement, don’t hesitate to contact the Preferred Home Services team to restore cooling comfort to your home. Based on the issue, we will determine if a repair or a replacement will be more practical and cost-effective.

Bryson came to assist with our kitchen faucet leak. He was knowledgeable and thoroughly explained to us what had happened that caused the leak. He worked up a quote for us and made sure we understood. He never seemed annoyed or in a hurry to finish the job even though it was getting late. Although I'm not sure whether we paid a reasonable price, I can speak to his customer service being exceptional and that alone can make the difference in feeling good about the price you pay.

A tree fell and crushed my outside unit. It was only 6 months old. I called Preferred and they came out by midafternoon. LD worked very hard to at least get me ac until a new unit could be installed. I felt like I was treated like family. He went out of his way to help me even calling in sales for a new unit. Earl showed up around an hour later and was fortunate to get a new unit the next morning. Dustin Cooper was here early and had it up and running in just a few hours with a brand-new system. They entire disaster was eased by Preferred staff who worked to get me a resolution. Amazing.

Lightning strikes last week left me with 3/4 breakers and surge protector needing replacement. Tony M (2nd visit to me) and Van were on time, checked the breaker panel, and took care of the issues quickly. Then checked each outlet inside and out to be sure there were no surprises. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After a great experience with Preferred Home Services installation of a tankless water heater and whole house water filter system, we called them to clean and service our air-conditioning units. The technician that came out, Ben was very pleasant, professional, and described everything that he did and what needed to be done. This is a professional and well run company.

Both Dennis and Gabe were professional and communicated well, letting us know what they needed to do and explaining how they were going to do it. I also want to give a huge shout out to Tara who facilitated our purchase and, although it took several months to complete the sale due to issues with the sale of our house, she never pressured us to get the deal done. Thank you to a great team.

LB came on time, was professional and thoroughly checked out our system, then fixed it! Could not have asked for a nicer person, who came out in the heat and humidity.
