AC Installation & Replacement in Torrance
Deciding whether to repair your existing air conditioner or invest in a new system can be a significant decision. While repairs can extend the life of your unit, there comes a point where replacement is the more cost-effective and beneficial option in the long run.
Consider replacing your AC system if:
- It's older than 10-15 years: Older units are less energy-efficient and more prone to breakdowns.
- Repairs are frequent or costly: If the cost of a repair is a significant percentage of the cost of a new unit, or if you're constantly calling for service, it might be time.
- Your energy bills are increasing: An aging or inefficient system consumes more power to achieve the same level of cooling.
- Your home isn't cooling evenly: This can indicate the system is undersized, improperly installed, or simply losing capacity.
- Your system uses R-22 refrigerant: This refrigerant is being phased out, making repairs on older systems more expensive and difficult.
Our team can help you assess your current system's condition and provide an honest recommendation. If replacement is the right choice, we'll guide you through selecting a new system that is properly sized for your home's square footage and layout, ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency.
We offer installation of various AC system types suitable for Torrance homes, including:
- Central Air Conditioning: The most common type, using a network of ducts to distribute cooled air throughout the house.
- Ductless Mini-Splits: Ideal for homes without existing ductwork, additions, or for providing zoned cooling in specific areas. We install Mitsubishi Ductless and Daikin Ductless systems, known for their efficiency and quiet operation.
- Daikin Inverter Air Conditioners: Advanced systems that offer precise temperature control and significant energy savings. We are proud partners with Daikin, installing their reliable and innovative products, including Daikin Package Units.
Our AC installation and AC replacement process is thorough and designed for efficiency. We handle the removal of your old unit, precise installation of the new system, connection to existing ductwork or installation of new lines (for ductless), and comprehensive testing to ensure everything functions perfectly before we consider the job complete. A new, high-efficiency AC system can significantly reduce your energy bills, improve indoor air quality, and provide reliable comfort for years to come.
