Living without air conditioning seems like a virtual impossibility these days in Northern California. Living without an efficient HVAC system would be nearly as difficult.

While we call Sonoma County home, we provide quality service to residents anywhere in the 707 area code, including Napa, Marin, and Sonoma counties.

When to Replace vs. Repair Your AC

Making the decision to replace your older, inefficient AC isn’t a call you have to make on your own, but you should be aware of the signs that it might be time for a replacement. 

Factors that affect your decision will be:

  • Age: Standard lifespan is 15–20 years.
  • Coolant: Phasing out R-22 makes recharges costly and eco-unfriendly.
  • Repair frequency: Frequent summer service calls indicate it is time to replace.

AC Replacement Cost in Sonoma County: What Drives the Price?

Two main factors drive the cost of central air conditioning replacement in Northern California: size and efficiency. 

Professional installers will determine the proper size of the unit to cool your home, as you don’t want a unit that is too small or too large. You have more choice when it comes to deciding on the efficiency. A more efficient AC will cost more up front but pay in savings over the long haul.

SEER2 Ratings & California Title 24 Requirements

The Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) tests and certifies the SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) for all HVAC systems. California requires a minimum SEER2 of 14.

High-efficiency AC systems can cost more than standard units, but they pay for themselves over the years through lower utility bills. 

707 Plumbers, Inc. & Electric can help you calculate the payback period for your home. 

Choosing a System: Central Air, Heat Pump, Ductless Mini-Split

Whole-house air conditioning can be provided through two basic systems:

  • Central Air: A single unit connected to an outside compressor delivers cool air through a duct system to the entire home. Most modern homes have these systems installed during construction.
  • Mini-split: A ductless system can cool up to four rooms through a single outside compressor, with wall-mounted units connected to the compressor with small lines. 

Heat pumps are another highly efficient option for heating and cooling your home. They may not give you the immediate cooling impact of a standard central AC system, but they maintain a more consistent temperature and lower your utility bills.
