No matter what type of AC you want to have installed, or what old AC system you are replacing, Big City has the units and expertise you need.
Know when to call for AC repairs or schedule your AC replacement. Here are the clearest signs that your air conditioning is on its last legs and ready to be replaced.
Hold your hand up to the air conditioner vent. If the blower fan is moving air, but all you feel is warm or room-temperature air - this is a sign that your AC isn't cooling at all. If this can't be repaired in a single visit, it could be a sign that you need a new air conditioning installation soon.
Grinding noises are often the sound of a broken piece inside the unit. It may catch in the fan or be the fan itself. Grinding almost always leads to serious mechanical damage inside your AC. One broken piece can cause extensive damage, and it sounds like a loud grinding or banging sound. Contact Big City AC replacement experts to examine the issue.
Air conditioners are supposed to be pretty low-maintenance. An annual tune-up and cleaning are all they should need for most years of performance. If your AC has started to need repairs, again and again, you will soon need AC replacement installation.
When the power gives out in your AC unit, it can either be reset or can't. Sometimes, this is an indication of a critical unit failure. If your AC doesn't turn on, call our air conditioning repair technician to inspect the system. If it won't return, your AC is down and needs to be replaced.
Finally, be ready to schedule AC replacement installation for any unit that is 10 years or older. Most Air conditioning units don't last longer than a decade. The internal parts will start to fail within the span of ten years.

Nicholas is very professional and courteous. He did a wonderful job repairing my Thor oven.
Eric was awesome! Very polite and nice. Took the time to explain everything. He did a great job!
Ivan was a gentleman both times he came to our home. He was professional, responsible, and knowledgeable. He was also thoughtful and how he approached our home by taking the initiative to purchase his own and 95 mask before he came to our house. That speaks volumes for Ivan and the company he represents, I would use him anytime in the future.

The cost of AC replacement can range between $4,000 and $12,000 depending on the size of your house and the type of AC you are replacing. Ductless mini-splits are by far the most expensive to install in your home and often define the upper range of your AC replacement installation costs. This is especially true if you are replacing one type of AC with another.
Installing a new central air unit costs, on average, around $6,000 including labor. However, the size and efficiency of your system will influence the cost of your AC. It’s always a good idea to look for energy efficiency and manufacturing rebates to help reduce the overall cost. Big City will work with you to find the best air conditioning installation options for your budget.
Air conditioners have a lifespan of about 10 years. If your AC starts to need frequent repairs after around a decade of performance, it’s time to plan for your air conditioning replacement. Watch out for ACs that start blowing cold air, making strange sounds or smells, or need repairing more often than once a year.
If your AC starts to fail, scheduling your air conditioning installation and replacement service ahead of time can prevent the disaster of an AC breakdown during a dangerous heatwave.
Typically, an air conditioning installation will take about one day of work. The exact number of hours will depend on the unit, the system, and the home. For example, running a line for a ductless mini-split is much more involved than replacing your window unit.
Replacing a central air conditioning unit will take somewhere between four and eight hours.
You can get a more accurate estimate of your air conditioning installation time by asking after your in-home consultation. Your Big City air conditioning installation technician will be able to tell you about how long the installation should take based on the unit you are having installed and how the design of your home will shape that process.
