The name on the equipment matters far less than most people think. What decides whether a new AC delivers its rated efficiency for fifteen years is the installation, and a sloppy one gives away a big share of that efficiency on day one. Size it too large and it short-cycles, pulls out little moisture, and leaves your Lawrence home cool but clammy. Size it too small and it runs nonstop without ever catching up on the hottest afternoons. Lawrence HVAC avoids both by running a proper load calculation based on your square footage, insulation, window exposure, and ductwork, rather than simply copying whatever tonnage the previous contractor installed.
Most of our service calls are for AC Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.
Warning Signs for AC Installation
Catching these issues early helps you avoid costly problems. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- The system still uses phased-out R-22 refrigerant
- The AC runs constantly on hot days and never reaches the setpoint
- A system that has already passed its twelfth to fifteenth summer
- Cooling bills climbing every summer while comfort declines
- Rooms that feel cool but clammy, often a sign the unit is oversized
- Repair bills arriving more often and getting bigger each time
- A major repair, like a dead compressor or leaking evaporator, on aging equipment
- Hot spots and warm rooms the AC can never catch up with
