Air Conditioner Replacement Process
Before we recommend the best new air conditioner for your needs, we’ll take measurements and talk to you about any issues you’re having with your current AC. Then, we’ll provide you with the list of air conditioners that are sized for your home and meet your cooling needs. This is also a good time to discuss switching to a heat pump if you’re looking for an even more energy-efficient option. We can replace just the outdoor condensing unit, but most homeowners find it’s more cost-effective to replace their entire heating and cooling system at the same time.
Optimize Your Cooling System
If you have rooms that are always too cold or too hot, we can discuss ductless AC options. Concerned about the air quality in your home? We can recommend solutions for cleaning the air as it passes through your cooling system. This is also a good time to install a new smart thermostat that will add automation to your HVAC system and help you save money on your energy bills. Whatever your concerns are with your current air conditioning system, trust Aspen Aire for effective solutions.

FAQs
What is the lifespan of a home air conditioner?
A central air conditioner that’s well-maintained can last anywhere from 10 years to more than 20 years. An air conditioner’s lifespan depends on how well it’s made and whether it’s had annual tune-ups to keep the system clean and running efficiently. Other factors that can affect a central AC unit’s lifespan include proper sizing, quality of the installation, and your local environmental conditions (air quality, humidity, average high temperatures).
What is a SEER rating?
SEER is an acronym for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. An air conditioner’s SEER rating measures how energy-efficient the unit is by dividing the cooling output of the system by the amount of energy it uses. A higher SEER number means it’s a more efficient AC. Here in Iowa, MidAmerica Energy customers may be able to get instant discounts for installing air conditioners with certain SEER ratings.
How much does AC installation cost?
Central air conditioning installation costs depend in large part on the size and efficiency rating of the AC unit you choose. If you’re getting a quote for AC installation or replacement, the price should be a total with parts and labor included. According to Forbes, the national average cost of a new central air conditioner unit is about $5,900. This includes both the cost of the AC unit itself and the labor to install it.
How long does it take to replace a central air conditioner?
If we’re just replacing the outdoor condensing unit, it usually takes about 3-4 hours. For a complete air conditioner and furnace replacement, plan on 5-7 hours.
