  1. Today's residential air conditoners are much quieter than conventional table-top or pedestal fans, ensuring that your night's sleep is both comfortable, and peaceful.

  2. Since it is actually depending on the damage, a new one is still better than the old one. Making that decision to replace or repair can be a difficult one to determine when you are sweating buckets and just need to get the job done now.

  3. The useful life of a system is usually 15 to 20 years for heat pumps and 20 to 25 years for gas furnaces with air conditioners. As your system begins to wear out, you will encounter refrigerant leaks and motor failure which will result in expensive repairs. At that time it may prove more cost effective for you to replace your system rather than repair it.

  5. Thanks for sharing! While I don't need my air conditioner replaced, I have been looking into getting my heater replaced because I think it needs to be. I just started working with Holland heating, and they have been great! Good luck with your replacements!

  6. Another important factor in determining whether a home can get by with air conditioning repair instead of replacement is to ask a reputable company. It’s important to find an HVAC company you can trust. Establish a relationship with a company who employs licensed technicians.
