AC Replacement FAQs
What happens during an in-home AC replacement assessment in Niles?
A technician measures your home’s cooling load, checks duct static pressure, inspects the line set and electrical, and reviews placement options for the new condenser. You’ll get recommendations on system size, SEER2 efficiency, and accessories so the replacement matches your home and comfort goals in Niles and Northwest Chicagoland.
Do I need a new indoor coil when I replace the outdoor AC?
In most cases, yes. A matched coil ensures the refrigerant metering and capacity align with the new condenser. Mixing old and new parts can reduce efficiency and make fine-tuning charge and airflow harder after installation.
Can my existing line set be reused with newer A2L refrigerants?
Sometimes. Reuse depends on size, length, condition, and the manufacturer’s specs. Many projects pass a pressure test and deep flush, while others need new tubing to meet refrigerant and code requirements.
Will I need a permit or inspection for AC replacement in the Niles area?
Most municipalities require permits and a final inspection for central AC replacement. Your installer should handle paperwork and schedule the inspection so the job meets local code and manufacturer guidelines.
How long does a typical AC replacement take and how can I prepare?
Many single-system swaps finish the same day. Clear a path to the air handler, electrical panel, and outdoor pad, secure pets, and note any rooms with comfort issues so commissioning targets those spaces.
Where should the new condenser sit on a narrow lot?
Pick a level, serviceable spot with open top discharge and at least a couple feet of side clearance. Avoid roof runoff and dryer vents. Light shade helps efficiency and keeps noise down for you and the neighbors.
How does SEER2 affect what equipment I choose?
SEER2 reflects seasonal efficiency under test conditions that mimic real ducts. The right value for your home balances energy savings with upfront cost and must be paired with correct airflow and duct sealing to show real gains on your bill.
Can I switch from a standard AC to a heat pump during replacement?
Yes. Many homes add a heat pump for high-efficiency cooling plus economical heat in spring and fall. If you have a gas furnace, a dual-fuel setup can provide flexible winter comfort while keeping summer performance strong.
What should commissioning include before the crew leaves?
Expect verified airflow, static pressure readings, charge confirmation by superheat or subcool, temperature split checks, and thermostat programming. These steps prove the new system is delivering its rated performance.
How do I stay comfortable on install day?
Pre-cool the home early, close blinds on sunlit windows, and run ceiling fans on low. If possible, plan work hours so the AC is set and tested before late afternoon heat in Cook County.
