Signs You Need a New Air Conditioner in Your Denton Home

Determining whether you need your air conditioning system repaired or replaced outright can be difficult. In some cases, it may be too damaged to repair, while other times, it may come down to individual preference.

We would generally recommend getting a new air conditioning system in the following cases. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Age of the System  

Each home air conditioner unit is different, and some air conditioners may last longer than others. However, if the system is over 12 years old and experiencing problems, you may want to replace it.

Not a Good Fit for the Home

If an air conditioner is too large or small for your home, you may want to get an appropriate-sized one.

The Cost of Repairs 

If repairs become too expensive, replacing it might be better because of the financial benefits. The benefits of having a new system, a new system’s warranty, and potential energy savings might be worthwhile.

Benefits of Installing a New AC System in Denton TX

A new air conditioning system offers several benefits for Denton, Texas residents. The following are a few examples.  

System Failure is Less Likely

Denton sees its share of hot weather. You don’t want to deal with a failed air conditioner on a hot summer day. A new air conditioning system can add to your peace of mind.

Save Money on Repairs

Over time, air conditioner parts can wear out or break, leading to potentially costly repairs and inconveniences. As air conditioning repair bills add up, outright air conditioner replacement becomes a more cost-efficient option.

New Refrigerant is Better for the Environment

Older air conditioners use R-22 refrigerants, a.k.a. freon, which harms the ozone layer. Modern air conditioner systems use a more environmentally friendly refrigerant. 

Potential for Energy Savings

A newer air conditioning system can offer greater energy efficiency than an older model. This energy savings can save money on your energy bills and benefit the environment.

Potential for Increased Comfort

Older air conditioning systems may take longer to cool your home. A new air conditioning system can potentially cool your home faster.

Choosing the Right Air Conditioner for Your Denton Home

There are several factors to remember when selecting an air conditioner for your Denton, Texas, home. The following are a few examples.

Your Budget

Some air conditioners may have a greater initial cost but offer long-term savings due to energy costs, and vice versa.

Warranty

A good warranty can provide peace of mind and potentially save you money if you encounter problems with your air conditioning unit.

Energy Efficiency

Choosing an air conditioner that has more energy efficiency can help save you money on your energy bill while benefiting the environment. The U.S. Department of Energy assigns an energy-efficiency rating to residential central air conditioning known as a SEER (seasonal efficiency rating). Energy Star Ratings are given to air conditioners with the highest SEER ratings. 

Cooling Capacity

An air conditioner’s cooling capacity is measured using BTUs. The greater the BTUs, the more cooling capacity an air conditioner has. At Cote’s Mechanical, we can help you find the right BTU to cool your home. 

Climate

Given the intense heat the Denton area sees, you’ll want to select an air conditioner that can adequately cool your home. Central air conditioning, geothermal air conditioners, and hybrid dual fuel air conditioners offer the power to keep your home comfortable in the summer heat. If your home doesn’t have ducts, a ductless mini-split air conditioner can help.

Smart Functionality

Smart functionality is available on many types of air conditioners. With smart functionality you may be able to enjoy greater energy savings and comfort. It offers the convenience of smart device connectivity and may help you save on your energy bill.  

The Size of Your Home

An air conditioner can be too large or small for your home, causing heating or cooling problems, so getting one that fits is essential. Determining the right air conditioner for your home can be daunting, as different types and sizes are available. We can work with you to determine the optimal air conditioner for your home.

Type of Air Conditioning Systems

There are several types of air conditioning systems available. The following are some popular options as well as their pros and cons.

Central Air Conditioning 

Central air conditioning utilizes ducts to cool a building. This is an ideal choice if you are building a new home or your home has ducts. Central air conditioning is designed to cool the entire home and works by forcing air through ducts. Generally, thermostats control central air conditioning.

Pros

• Easy to control via a thermostat.
• Relatively quiet inside.
• Cools entire house via ducts.

Cons

• Ductwork maintenance is required.
• Expensive to purchase and install.
• Higher energy consumption and bills.
• Outdoor unit may be noisy.

Best Use

Cooling entire houses and big homes that have more than three rooms.

Ductless Mini-Splits 

Unlike central air conditioning, ductless mini-splits do not use ducts. Instead, they use a compact blower typically mounted on an inside wall in the home and an outdoor condenser unit. If your home has extensions installed after the HVAC system was installed, or there are parts of your home that rarely see use, you may want to look into getting ductless mini-splits. 

Pros

• Doesn’t take up floor space the way some other types of air conditioners do.
• The units are individually controlled, allowing for greater personalization.
• The greater control can help you save money on energy bills.

Cons

• Not designed to cool big rooms or entire homes.
• Expensive installation cost.

Best Use

Areas that are difficult to air condition, room additions, attics, small houses, condos, retrofitting old houses, and apartments.

Window Units 

Less expensive than other types of air conditioning units, window units work best when cooling single spaces or a smaller room. Window units “sit” in a window, with the front part facing the room and the back sticking out the window. They work well in condos or apartments that don’t have central air conditioning. In wintertime, they may need to be winterized or removed from the window.

Pros

• Affordable initial cost.
• Don’t occupy floor space the way some other air conditioning units do.
• Relatively simple installation (given the risk of it falling, professional installation is still recommended).

Cons

• May fall out of the window if improperly installed or parts are worn out.
• Noisy.
• The window’s view is blocked.
• May require winterization or removal from the window in winter.

Best Use

Rooms, small areas, condos, and apartments that don’t have central air conditioning, 

Portable Air Conditioners

As with window units, portable air conditioners are a more affordable option. They offer flexibility as they can be moved around from one area to another. However, they tend to offer less efficiency and are more noisy than other types of air conditioning.

Pros

• Relatively easy to set up.
• Work well in small homes, apartments, and condos.
• Affordable.
• Can be moved around or stored fairly easily.
• No permanent installation needed.

Cons

• Require floor space.

• Lack cooling power for large rooms or areas.

Best Use

Individual rooms, small areas, condos, apartments, and short-term cooling.

Through-the-wall Air Conditioners, a.k.a, Floor-Mounted Air Conditioners

Through-the-wall air conditioners, a.k.a. floor-mounted air conditioners, are made to cool isolated places or small rooms in a home without the use of ducts. The installation process of through-the-wall air conditioners involves making a hole in the wall the size of the unit.

Pros

• Tend to work quietly.
• Wall-mounted design saves floor space over some other types of air conditioners.
• Lower mounting position is easy to access.
• Relatively simple installation.
• Different zones can be created by adding additional units.

Cons

• Objects can block airflow.
• Inadequate for big areas or rooms.

Best Use

Angled walls, rooms that don’t have wall space, attics.

Geothermal Air Conditioners

An alternative to conventional central air conditioning, geothermal air conditioners also utilize ducts. It can even heat homes when the weather is cooler. Geothermal air conditioners function by circulating water into the ground, which removes heat from the house by having the soil function as a heat sink. In much of the U.S., the soil temperature is generally warmer than the air temperature when it is winter and cooler than the air temperature is in the summer. This enables geothermal air conditioners to cool or heat a home, depending on the time of year.

Pros

• Work with existing ducts.
• Highly efficient.
• Last longer than other types of air conditioning.
• Offer cooling and heating.

Cons

• Expensive to purchase and install.
• Aren’t compatible with condos, apartments, and homes with small yard space.
• The yard must be dug into for installation.
• Ducts will need to be maintained.

Best Use

Environmentally conscious consumers, rural places. 

Evaporator Air Conditioners, a.k.a. Swamp Air Conditioners

Evaporator air conditioners, a.k.a. swamp air conditioners, utilize ice or water for cooling instead of refrigerant. Evaporator air conditioners range in size from lower-cost portable units to units for the entire home. As they run, they increase a home’s humidity. As they rely on water or ice instead of refrigerant, the water and ice have to be monitored and refilled regularly.

Pros 

• Tend to use less electricity as opposed to other air conditioner types.
• Portable and entire-house versions are available.
• Don’t use harmful coolants, such as freon, for cooling.
• The increase in humidity it causes may help to improve dry conditions.

Cons

• Increased humidity may be a problem.
• Less cooling power than normal air conditioners.
• Water and/or ice must be regularly checked and replenished.
• If the evaporator air conditioner uses ducts, they will have to be maintained.

Best Use

Dry climates. Depending on the size of the evaporator air conditioner, it can heat a room or a whole house.

Hybrid/Dual Fuel Air Conditioners

Hybrid/dual fuel air conditioners use a gas furnace and an electric air source heat pump that offers good performance and cost-effectiveness. When the weather is hot, the system draws hot air out of the home and takes it outside. It does the opposite in cold weather, bringing heat into the home.

Pros

• Better for the environment than other types of air conditioning.
• Offer comfort and energy efficiency.
• Offer heating and cooling.

Cons

• Expensive initial cost.
• It may take a while to offset the initial cost with the energy savings over time.
