What is involved in replacing an old air conditioner system?

Replacing an old air conditioner involves more than just swapping out the unit. Several parts of your homeโ€™s cooling system may need to be inspected, repaired, or upgraded to ensure your new AC runs efficiently and reliably. This can include:

  • Ductwork: Is it properly sized, sealed, and in good condition?

  • Insulation & Windows: Poor insulation or drafty windows can affect performance.

  • Refrigerant Lines: Existing piping may need to be replaced or flushed, depending on the type of refrigerant.

  • Condensate Drainage: Proper drainage is crucial to avoid water damage.

  • Electrical Wiring: The wiring and breaker may need updating to meet current safety codes.

  • Grilles & Registers: These may need to be cleaned, repaired, or resized.

  • Filters & Coils: The furnace filter and evaporator coil should be inspected for cleanliness and wear.

Every home is different. Thatโ€™s why a professional assessment from ProSolutions is the best way to determine exactly whatโ€™s needed for a proper air conditioning replacement in Edmontonโ€™s climate.
