How do I know if my air conditioner needs to be replaced?

Signs that your AC may need replacement include the system being 10 to 15 years or older, frequent or costly breakdowns, rising energy bills despite regular maintenance, inconsistent cooling throughout your home, and the use of R-22 refrigerant which is no longer manufactured. A Cregger HVAC technician can assess your system and advise whether repair or replacement is the better option.

How long does an air conditioner replacement take?

Most air conditioner replacements take between 4 and 8 hours. The timeline depends on the size of the new system, the complexity of the installation, and whether any ductwork modifications are needed. Cregger's technicians work efficiently to get your new system up and running as quickly as possible.

What size AC unit do I need to replace my old system?

The correct size depends on your home's square footage, insulation, ceiling height, window placement, and local climate. Cregger's technicians perform a proper load calculation before recommending a replacement unit. Installing the wrong size — even if it matches your old system — can lead to poor performance and higher energy costs.

Does Cregger offer financing for AC replacement?

Yes. Cregger Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical offers financing options to help make AC replacement more affordable. Contact us at 248-543-1190 or visit our financing page to learn about available plans and eligibility requirements.

What happens to my old air conditioner when it is replaced?

Cregger's technicians handle the removal and disposal of your old AC unit as part of the replacement process. Refrigerant is recovered in compliance with EPA regulations before the old system is removed from your property.

Michigan AC Replacement Services Designed with You in Mind
Getting a new air conditioner can be a stressful experience, particularly if you’re not familiar with the process. For most homeowners, you’ll only have to replace your air conditioner once or maybe even twice while you live in your home, depending on how much you use it and how well you care for your system. That’s why you need someone to work with you through the process and deliver a result that’s durable, long-lasting, and held to a high standard of quality.

You may need to replace your old, worn-out air conditioner if:
- You are paying for more than one major repair in a one-year stretch
- The cost of your repair is a good chunk of what a new system would cost
- Your current system is 10 years old or more
- Your system runs on R-22 Freon refrigerant
- Parts for your system are becoming hard to find and aren’t being made anymore
Choosing a new air conditioner requires that you take several things into consideration. First, you’ll want to get a system that fits and works with your other already-existing infrastructure, like air ducts and coolant lines. A system that’s too large or too small won’t be able to properly utilize these systems, costing you in the efficiency department and sucking more money out of your pocket. These systems also break down faster, which leads to more frustration.
