AC Replacement

Expert ac replacement services throughout South Florida

When your air conditioning system reaches the end of its useful life, replacing it with a new, energy-efficient model is often the smartest investment for your home. At Sunnyside AC, we specialize in professional AC replacement services throughout South Florida, helping homeowners upgrade to modern cooling systems that deliver superior comfort, reliability, and energy savings. Our certified technicians have over 20 years of experience replacing residential and light commercial air conditioning systems of all makes and models. Most AC systems last 12-15 years in South Florida's demanding climate. Signs you need replacement include frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, uneven cooling, the system is over 10 years old, repair costs exceeding 50% of replacement cost, refrigerant leaks requiring expensive R-22 refrigerant, excessive noise or strange odors, and inability to maintain comfortable temperatures. If your current system exhibits multiple warning signs, replacement is typically more cost-effective than continued repairs. Our AC replacement process starts with a thorough evaluation of your existing system and home cooling needs. We perform detailed load calculations to properly size your new system, considering your home's square footage, insulation levels, window placement, sun exposure, and South Florida's climate demands. Proper sizing is critical—an oversized or undersized system leads to inefficiency, humidity problems, and premature failure. We replace all major HVAC brands with new systems from industry leaders including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, American Standard, Bryant, and Daikin. Modern high-efficiency systems (16-20 SEER) can reduce your cooling costs by 30-50% compared to older units. We help you select the perfect system balancing performance, efficiency, features, and budget. Many of our customers qualify for manufacturer rebates, utility incentives, and federal tax credits that significantly reduce the net investment. Every AC replacement includes complete removal and responsible disposal of your old system, installation of new indoor and outdoor units, new refrigerant lines if needed, electrical upgrades if required, thermostat installation or upgrade to smart thermostat, ductwork inspection and sealing, complete system testing and calibration, manufacturer warranty registration, and comprehensive operation training. We handle all permits and ensure every installation meets Florida building codes. All work is backed by our workmanship warranty and manufacturer equipment warranties, giving you years of worry-free cooling comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions About AC Replacement? We've Got Answers!

Find answers to common questions about our ac replacement services.

How do I know if I need AC replacement or just repair?

Toggle FAQ
Consider replacement if your system is over 10-12 years old, requires frequent repairs, has refrigerant leaks (especially R-22), repair costs exceed 50% of replacement, energy bills keep rising, or it can't maintain comfort. We provide honest assessments and explain all options so you can make an informed decision.

How long does AC replacement take?

Toggle FAQ
Most residential AC replacements are completed in 6-10 hours, typically in a single day. Complex installations or larger systems may require 1-2 days. We provide a clear timeline during your consultation and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home.

How much does AC replacement cost?

Toggle FAQ
AC replacement typically costs $3,500-$12,000 depending on system size, efficiency rating (SEER), brand, and installation complexity. Higher-efficiency systems cost more upfront but deliver significant energy savings. We provide free assessments with transparent pricing and financing options with approved credit.

What size AC system do I need?

Toggle FAQ
We perform Manual J load calculations considering your home's square footage, insulation, windows, ceiling height, orientation, and local climate. Proper sizing is crucial—oversized systems waste energy and don't dehumidify properly, while undersized systems run constantly and wear out faster. We handle all sizing professionally.

Should I upgrade to a high-efficiency AC system?

Toggle FAQ
High-efficiency systems (16-20 SEER) cost 20-40% more upfront but can reduce cooling costs by 30-50%, typically paying for themselves in 5-8 years. They also qualify for rebates and tax credits. We help you calculate the payback period and total cost of ownership to make the best decision.

What brands do you recommend for AC replacement?

Toggle FAQ
We install premium brands like Carrier, Trane, and Lennox for maximum reliability, plus excellent value brands like Goodman, Rheem, and York. We'll recommend specific models based on your budget, efficiency goals, and feature preferences. All brands we install come with strong manufacturer warranties.

Can I replace just the outdoor unit or indoor unit?

Toggle FAQ
While possible, we typically don't recommend it. Mismatched systems reduce efficiency, void warranties, and may violate building codes. Modern AC systems are engineered as matched sets. Replacing both units ensures optimal performance, full warranty coverage, and maximum energy savings.

Do you offer financing for AC replacement?

Toggle FAQ
Yes, we offer flexible financing options with approved credit, including low monthly payments and promotional financing. We also help you access manufacturer rebates (often $300-$1,200), utility company incentives, and federal tax credits (up to $600 for qualifying high-efficiency systems) to reduce your total investment.

What warranty comes with AC replacement?

Toggle FAQ
New AC systems include manufacturer warranties on parts (typically 5-10 years, sometimes lifetime on compressor) plus our comprehensive labor warranty. We register your warranty and provide all documentation. Extended warranty options are available for additional coverage and peace of mind.

Will a new AC system lower my energy bills?

Toggle FAQ
Yes! Modern high-efficiency systems (16+ SEER) can reduce cooling costs by 30-50% compared to older 10-12 SEER units. A typical South Florida home spending $200/month on cooling could save $60-$100/month. We provide energy savings estimates during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
