Various factors can influence the decision to replace commercial air conditioning systems. Our team will assess your current AC system and determine if you need an upgrade. Some of the most significant factors we consider include:
System's Age
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines state if your commercial AC system is over a decade old, an AC replacement should be considered.
Constant Breakdowns
Ongoing issues with your AC system can translate into significant costs due to frequent servicing by an HVAC technician. If these costs are more than half of your AC system's value, our professional team can assist you in determining whether it's more economical to replace your air conditioner.
Unequal Temperatures
If your AC system isn't working efficiently, your business could face inconsistent temperatures and humidity issues. These problems could lead to mold and mildew growth and deteriorate air quality.
Excessive Noise
If your commercial air conditioner is excessively noisy or spontaneously switches off, it’s a sign of failing functionality. Loud HVAC systems can be distracting to employees and customers.
Advantages of Replacing Your Commercial AC System
Upgrading your air conditioner provides several benefits that your old system couldn't deliver. We’re committed to your comfort and air quality, so we want what is best for your company. Some of the most significant benefits of an air conditioner replacement include:
Reduced Power Bills
Depending on your old system's Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) and age, replacing your commercial AC system could save your business between 20% and 40% on cooling expenses.
Enhanced Comfort
With a newer AC system, you experience improved temperature and humidity control, which leads to superior air quality.
Eco-friendliness
Reducing your energy consumption helps lower your carbon footprint. Newer AC systems commonly use the more eco-friendly R-410A refrigerant.
Important AC Replacement Considerations
Aire Serv of Northwest Arkansas can help determine if it’s time for your company to get an AC replacement. Some of the most important factors we consider when determining if decide whether repairs would suffice or if a system upgrade would be a smarter choice include:
Warranty
Newer units often come with warranties which can save you money on future repairs.
R-22 Refrigerant Phase Out
The EPA and the U.S. government are phasing out R-22 refrigerants because it harms the ozone layer. As R-22 supplies decrease each year, the cost of refilling with it continues to climb.
Current System Type
Opting for a different system type compared to your current one might result in increased AC replacement costs.
Rebate & Tax Incentives
Leveraging tax credits and incentives can potentially save you up to 30% on your commercial AC replacement costs. Additionally, local utility companies often offer rebates and incentives.
Commercial AC Replacement Process
Our AC replacement process depends on your system's type, your property size, the condition of the current system, and the outdoor unit's location. For instance, substituting complete central air conditioning systems could be more time-consuming than replacing a solitary central air unit. Some AC unit replacement services may involve only switching an existing outdoor unit. If your system includes a rooftop unit, extra steps and safety measures become necessary during the replacement phase. Based on your ductwork's size and condition, we may need to repair, substitute, or install new air ducts.
