AC Installation and Replacement Services in Fredericksburg, VA
Not all air conditioning systems can be repaired. When your air conditioning unit is 10-15 years old or breaking to a point of no repair, our team at Total Comfort can help you install a new one.
Types of AC & Cooling Systems We Install
At Total Comfort, we install a variety of AC and cooling systems to ensure your home or business stays comfortable and properly cooled with an energy-efficient system.
Ductless AC Systems
Ductless AC systems, also known as mini-split systems, meet your cooling needs without the use of extensive ductwork. These systems are perfect for homes without existing ducts, room additions, garages, or areas that need customized temperature control. With zoned cooling, you can adjust temperatures in different rooms independently, giving you greater control of your comfort.
Central Air Conditioning Systems
Central AC systems are the most common AC choice for whole-home cooling. They use a network of ducts to distribute cool air evenly throughout your home, ensuring consistent comfort in each room. Modern high-efficiency central AC units offer lower energy consumption, quieter operation, and improved humidity control.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps offer both cooling and heating capabilities, making them a great choice for home owners. These systems extract heat from the air to cool your home in the summer and reverse the process to provide warmth in the winter. If you’re looking for an eco-friendly, all-in-one solution, a heat pump may be the best fit.
Packaged AC Units
A packaged AC unit is a single outdoor unit, making it a great space-saving option for town homes, apartments, mobile homes, and commercial buildings.
What are the Benefits of a New AC Unit?
There are many benefits to choosing a new air conditioning system. Many homeowners are concerned about the upfront cost, but they can reap the financial benefits in the long term with this smart investment:
-
A new unit can lower your energy bills by functioning more efficiently.
-
A new system can increase your property values when it is time to sell your home.
-
Newer models can improve your indoor air quality, reducing humidity levels and the number of allergens in the air.
An AC replacement can also save you money on repairs. By not constantly having to fix a broken, old unit, you can save on service calls and prevent several hours of frustration as new repairs are needed.
When Should You Install a New AC Unit?
Our service technicians will do everything they can to preserve your current AC system, but sometimes it is better to replace your unit sooner rather than later. Most air conditioning units only last about 10-15 years before they start to break and their inefficiency is noticeable. If your system is older and experiencing more problems each year, it may be time to upgrade to a more efficient model.
Signs You Need to Replace Your AC Unit:
-
Frequent Repairs – If your AC unit requires constant repairs, the cost of fixing it may outweigh the benefits of replacing it with a new, more efficient system.
-
Rising Energy Bills – An aging or inefficient AC unit has to work harder to cool your home, leading to higher utility costs.
-
Uneven Cooling – If some rooms are too hot while others are too cold, your cooling system may be struggling to distribute air properly.
-
Weak Airflow – Poor airflow can indicate issues with the compressor, ducts, or internal components that may be beyond repair.
-
Strange Noises or Smells – Loud banging, rattling, grinding, or musty odors from your AC unit could mean serious mechanical issues.
What is a Load Calculation?
When our service technicians arrive in your home, they will conduct a load calculation to determine what size your space needs to stay cool. A load calculation takes into consideration the size of your home in square feet, the height of the area, and the region of the country where you live, and heat gain from windows. For example, a larger home with high ceilings in the South will need more power than a similar home in cooler areas.
This load calculation is very important. If you buy a AC unitthat is too large, not only will you overpay, but the system will cool areas of your home quickly and turn off before other areas are cool or dehumidified. You’ll have very uneven cooling plus use more energy. Similarly, a too-small system will run longer and work harder to cool your space. We use load calculations to find the perfect balance for your home.
