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 Davenport home cool but clammy. Size it too small and it runs nonstop without ever catching up on the hottest afternoons. Davenport 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
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- Higher cooling costs each year with less comfort to show for it
- The system still uses phased-out R-22 refrigerant
- A failed compressor or leaking evaporator coil on an aging unit
- Repair bills arriving more often and getting bigger each time
- An air conditioner that is twelve to fifteen years old or older
- The house cools unevenly, with hot rooms the system never conquers
- A cold, damp feeling indoors, which usually points to an oversized system
- An AC that cannot keep up on the hottest days, no matter how long it runs
Early Action Saves Money
