Age Matters
Most commercial HVAC systems last 12–15 years, but performance declines long before that. If your system is over 10 years old, the EPA’s Energy Star program recommends considering replacement—especially if you’re seeing any of the issues below.
Uneven Cooling or Uncomfortable Temperatures
If your system can’t keep your space consistently cool, it’s time for an evaluation. Poor comfort levels signal inefficiency or failing components—don’t let it affect your staff or customers.
Strange Noises
Loud rattles, hums, or buzzing sounds are more than a nuisance—they’re often early signs of serious issues like compressor failure or damaged ductwork.
High Energy Bills
Older systems struggle to operate efficiently. If your utility bills are climbing month after month, your AC may be the reason. A new, energy-efficient system could save you thousands long-term.
Frequent Breakdowns or Costly Repairs
If repairs are costing you more than 50% of what a new unit would, it’s time to upgrade. That’s the “50% rule”—a common industry guideline for making smart replacement decisions.
How Commercial AC Replacement Works
The process depends on the type of unit you have, building size, and layout. Rooftop systems, ductwork modifications, or ductless setups all require different approaches. That’s why we start with a full inspection and walk you through your best options—upfront and honestly.
Benefits of Commercial AC Replacement
- Improved comfort and air control
- Lower energy bills
- Less downtime and fewer service calls
- Modern features like remote monitoring and diagnostics
- Warranty protection
You may even qualify for rebates or tax incentives when upgrading to a more efficient unit. Plus, if your system still uses R-22 refrigerant (Freon), switching now avoids rising maintenance costs.
