Delaying Air Conditioner Service Can Cost You More

Postponing air conditioner service might seem harmless—until it’s 90° outside and your system gives out. Small issues quickly turn into major breakdowns that cost more, take longer to fix, and leave your home uncomfortable when you need it most.

Here’s what can happen when you wait:

  • Total system failure during a heatwave
  • Emergency repair costs or full replacement
  • Long wait times during peak season
  • Sky-high energy bills from an inefficient AC
  • Poor air quality and mold from clogged filters or drainage issues

Frequently Asked Air Conditioning Installation Questions

You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers!

The size of the AC unit depends on the square footage of your home, insulation, and even the local climate. Choosing the right size is crucial—too small, and it won’t cool effectively; too large, and it could waste energy. Don’t worry, we offer free in-home consultations on air conditioner installation to assess your cooling needs and recommend the perfect unit for your air conditioning installation project.

Typically, air conditioner installation and AC replacements take about 4 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the job and the size of your home. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect during your air conditioner installation project.

Most homes can accommodate central air conditioning, but factors like ductwork, wiring, and space for an outdoor unit may impact air conditioning installation. If your home doesn’t already have ductwork, we’ll recommend alternative solutions like a ductless mini-split system. Our free assessments help determine the best air conditioner installation options for your home.

The cost of air conditioner installation or air conditioner replacement varies based on the type of system, the complexity of the air conditioning installation, and the size of your home. We offer flexible financing options to fit your budget and always provide upfront estimates—no hidden fees, no surprises. In the end, we make the air conditioning installation process stress free.

Look for units with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating. Higher ratings mean better energy efficiency and lower utility bills. Many of the systems we install are ENERGY STAR® certified, ensuring optimal savings and environmental benefits.

We’re a trusted, community-focused business serving Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati. Here’s why homeowners choose Five Star for their air conditioning installation needs:

  • Trusted Experts: Certified technicians with years of experience.
  • Speed and Reliability: We’ll be there today, or it’s free.
