What Type of Air Conditioning System Is Right for Your Home?
Choosing the right air conditioning system depends on the size, layout, and cooling needs of your home. Here’s what homeowners often ask:
What’s the difference between central AC and ductless systems?
Central AC systems use ducts to distribute cool air throughout the house, offering uniform cooling. Ductless mini-splits, on the other hand, work best for individual rooms or areas without ducts, providing more zoning flexibility and energy savings.
Is a heat pump better than a traditional AC?
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, making them versatile. They can be more energy-efficient in moderate climates, saving on utility bills year-round.
Should I choose a high-SEER rated unit?
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures the efficiency with which an air conditioning unit operates. Higher SEER units offer greater savings over time and reduce your environmental impact.
At Power Pro Plumbing, we assess your home's unique needs and recommend the best system tailored to your specific requirements.
How Do You Know It's Time to Replace Your Air Conditioning Unit?
Many homeowners wait until their system completely fails before considering a replacement. But acting early can save you from expensive repairs and unbearable heat.
- Your AC is over 10–15 years old: Older units naturally lose efficiency, run louder, and are prone to breakdowns. Replacing an outdated system can significantly reduce your energy bills and enhance indoor comfort.
- You experience frequent or costly repairs: If your repair bills are piling up, investing in a new system can offer long-term savings and reliability.
- Your home has uneven cooling: Hot and cold spots may mean your current system isn’t properly sized or has duct issues. A new system designed by Power Pro Plumbing can eliminate these issues.
- Your energy bills are climbing: As air conditioning systems age, they work harder to maintain the same temperatures. A new, energy-efficient unit could significantly reduce your cooling costs.

Why Is Proper Air Conditioning Installation So Important?
A high-quality air conditioning unit is only as good as the installation behind it. Improper installation can lead to:
- Poor airflow and uneven cooling: Incorrectly sized ductwork or poor system placement can cause airflow issues, resulting in inconsistent temperatures and discomfort throughout the home.
- Higher energy costs: A unit that isn’t correctly installed may work harder than necessary, consuming more electricity and raising your monthly energy bills.
- Frequent breakdowns: An improperly installed system is more likely to fail, resulting in increased repair calls and potentially voiding the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Reduced system lifespan: Poor installation puts undue stress on the system’s components, leading to accelerated wear and a shorter overall lifespan.
With Power Pro Plumbing, our certified installation experts follow precise manufacturer specifications to ensure your system runs flawlessly from day one.
What Are the Most Common Air Conditioning Problems and Repairs?
Knowing the common issues your system might face helps you act quickly to prevent costly damage. At Power Pro Plumbing, we often respond to:
- AC blowing warm air: This could indicate a refrigerant leak, a compressor problem, or an electrical issue. We’ll pinpoint the cause and restore cooling fast.
- Unusual noises or vibrations, such as banging, hissing, or screeching, often indicate loose parts, worn belts, or failing components. Immediate attention can prevent major breakdowns.
- Constant cycling on and off: Known as short cycling, this issue can be caused by thermostat problems or improper sizing. It wastes energy and stresses your system.
- Water leaks around the unit: Clogged condensate lines or frozen evaporator coils can cause water damage if left unchecked. We thoroughly clean and repair drainage systems.
- No airflow or weak airflow: Blocked filters or duct issues may be restricting circulation. Our team ensures airflow is fully restored and balanced.
