Keeping Your Home Healthy & Comfortable
Air conditioners account for roughly 20 percent of the household energy usage across the nation, but that average is driven down by people living in cold climates to the north. In places like Southlake, TX it’s not uncommon for nearly half of electric bills to be attributable to cooling costs. The annual average Texas energy bill is roughly $2,364 a year (or $197 a month). Many households are paying far more than that due to inefficient air conditioners or heat pumps that are consuming far more energy than they should to cool homes.
Most people don’t think about their air conditioner on a regular basis. If it’s doing its job and cooling your home, there’s no reason to dwell on it. Most air conditioner replacements are emergency jobs resulting from an unexpected breakdown. This unfortunately means families are desperate to restore temperature control and often don’t have time to thoroughly research their options. If you have the luxury of planning ahead and making a more educated and informed choice, it’s likely in your best interest to do so.
Some of the main reasons you should consider air conditioner replacement include:
If your air conditioner seems like it’s constantly running during the summer in Southlake, chances are it’s time for replacement. Ideally an air conditioner should run for 15 to 20 minutes roughly twice an hour. If it seems like your air conditioner or heat pump is running or cycling more frequently than that, it may be time to take preemptive action and schedule an AC replacement estimate.
If your energy bill is significantly higher than the state average, there’s a good chance your air conditioner or heat pump is to blame. For many Southlake households, air conditioner expenses are the bulk of their summer energy bills. Although a new air conditioner might not “pay for itself,” it can potentially save you money each month while also enhancing your home’s comfort.
Breakdowns are stressful, and if your unit is on the old side, you might find yourself dreading the next breakdown. People with old ACs often end up spending too much time listening to the sounds their AC is making or the frequency it’s cycling. Why dwell on your HVAC system when you can just have it replaced with an affordable, energy-efficient alternative?

If your air conditioner breaks down and the repair cost is nearly as expensive as having a new unit installed, you’ll likely find yourself in a situation where you need to decide fast. While going with the first offer may be tempting, it’s not always a bad idea to get a second opinion or competing bid.
