TIME FOR A NEW AC?
Signs Replacement Beats Another Repair
📅
12–15+ years old
Most ACs lose efficiency fast after this age; repairs become a money pit.
🧪
Uses R-22 refrigerant
Phased-out refrigerant makes even small leak repairs very expensive.
🔧
Frequent repairs
Two or more repair calls in a season usually signals end of life.
🌡
Uneven cooling
Hot upstairs, cold downstairs — often an undersized or failing system.
💧
Humidity problems
A struggling AC stops dehumidifying long before it stops cooling.
💸
Rising energy bills
Old units can use far more electricity than a modern high-SEER2 system.
WHAT WE DO
Installation Done Right, From Sizing to Start-Up
An oversized AC short-cycles and leaves your home humid; an undersized one runs nonstop and dies young. That is why every Sunshine installation starts with a Manual J load calculation of your actual home — insulation, windows, layout — before we recommend a system.
