The brand on the cabinet 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 Dover home cool but clammy. Size it too small and it runs nonstop without ever catching up on the hottest afternoons. Dover 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.
The repair homeowners call us about most is AC Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
When to Call for AC Installation in Dover
Spotting the early warning signs lets you act before the problem gets expensive. Here are the most common indicators that it's time to call a professional:
- Cooling bills climbing every summer while comfort declines
- The system still uses phased-out R-22 refrigerant
- More frequent repairs, each one costing more than the last
- The house feels cold but sticky, a classic sign of oversizing
- 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
- The AC runs constantly on hot days and never reaches the setpoint
- An air conditioner that is twelve to fifteen years old or older
