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 Cranston home cool but clammy. Size it too small and it runs nonstop without ever catching up on the hottest afternoons. Cranston 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.
Warning Signs for AC Installation
Catching these issues early helps you avoid costly problems. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- An older unit that runs on phased-out R-22
- A system that runs nonstop on hot afternoons without hitting the setpoint
- The house cools unevenly, with hot rooms the system never conquers
- An older unit facing a compressor failure or a leaking coil
- An air conditioner that is twelve to fifteen years old or older
- Summer energy bills that keep rising as comfort drops
- Repair bills arriving more often and getting bigger each time
- Rooms that feel cool but clammy, often a sign the unit is oversized
