The average life of a central air conditioning system is roughly 15 to 20 years. However, you may notice that ac services and repairs become more significant and frequent after ten years. All air conditioners will need to be replaced, but it makes sense to get the most life out of your system as possible. Considering whether now is the right time to make a Brecksville AC replacement, it’d be important to know more about the cost and the process.
Signs you need Brecksville AC Replacement
Are you deciding if an AC repair or replacement is the better option? A few critical signs to look for could indicate the need for a Brecksville AC replacement soon. For example, it may be time to install a new AC if:
- Your energy bill has grown progressively higher recently.
- Your AC system is more than 14 years old.
- The air conditioner requires frequent repairs.
How Much Does It Cost to Replace an AC?
The cost of a Brecksville AC replacement service includes both labor and equipment expenses. Both of these expenses can vary from home to home. However, the average total cost of the service 
and equipment is approximately $3,000.
Labor
On average, it takes between 6 to 7 hours for HVAC techs to install a new system in a home. However, the actual time will depend on the size of the home, the ease of access, and other factors. Given this timeline, labor would account for roughly $350 of the total bill.
Equipment
The cost of new AC equipment for your home will depend on a few factors. For example, the size of the suitable system for the home will vary based on square footage, how many people live in the home, and more. Energy efficiency also plays a role. You will pay a premium for a more energy-efficient model. However, the cost of equipment, supplies, and materials will account for the remainder of the total replacement cost, or roughly $2,650.
What Is the Installation Process
The process for a Brecksville AC replacement will vary slightly based on the type of equipment being installed. Central AC systems are common in the local area. The replacement process for these systems includes inspecting and repairing air ducts, removing the outgoing system, and installing the new equipment.
