How much does AC replacement cost in Grey Forest, TX?

AC replacement in Grey Forest typically ranges from $6,000 to $14,000 depending on your system size, efficiency rating, and installation complexity. A standard 3-ton unit with basic efficiency runs around $6,000-$8,000 installed, while high-efficiency systems cost $10,000-$14,000. The wide price range comes down to SEER ratings and features. Higher SEER ratings mean better energy efficiency and lower monthly bills, but higher upfront costs. We’ll calculate exactly what size system your home needs and show you options at different efficiency levels. Most Grey Forest homes need 2.5 to 4-ton units depending on square footage and insulation. We provide detailed estimates that break down equipment costs, labor, permits, and any additional work needed for your specific installation.
Most AC installations in Grey Forest take 6-8 hours for a complete system replacement. We typically start early morning and have your new air conditioner running by late afternoon the same day. Complex installations might take longer if we need to modify ductwork, upgrade electrical service, or work around challenging access issues. We’ll let you know the expected timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly. Weather can affect outdoor work, but we rarely need to postpone installations unless there are severe storms. Light rain doesn’t stop us—we protect equipment and work areas to keep your installation on schedule.
AC unit sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, and ceiling height. Most Grey Forest homes need 1 ton of cooling capacity per 400-600 square feet, but this varies significantly based on your specific situation. A 1,200 square foot home typically needs a 2.5-3 ton unit, while 2,000 square foot homes usually require 3.5-4 tons. However, older homes with poor insulation might need larger systems, while newer, well-insulated homes can use smaller, more efficient units. We perform detailed load calculations during your estimate, measuring rooms, checking insulation levels, and accounting for Texas heat exposure. Installing the wrong size system—too big or too small—leads to comfort problems and higher energy bills.
If your AC is over 10 years old and needs major repairs costing more than $3,000, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Older systems use R-22 refrigerant, which is being phased out and becoming expensive. Consider replacement if you’re dealing with frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, or uneven cooling throughout your home. New systems are significantly more efficient than units installed even 5-7 years ago. The “5,000 rule” helps with decisions: multiply your system’s age by repair cost. If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement is typically the better choice. A 12-year-old system needing $500 in repairs equals $6,000, suggesting replacement over repair.
Yes, your new AC system comes with comprehensive manufacturer warranties covering parts for 5-10 years depending on the brand and model. Labor warranties typically cover 1-2 years, and we provide additional guarantees on our installation workmanship. High-efficiency systems often include extended warranties and some manufacturers offer up to 12-year coverage on major components like compressors and heat exchangers. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered before you make any decisions. We also offer optional extended service plans that cover annual maintenance, priority service calls, and additional protection beyond manufacturer warranties. Many Grey Forest customers find these plans worthwhile given how hard Texas heat works AC systems.
We install major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, and Goodman systems. Each brand offers different efficiency levels, features, and price points to match your budget and cooling needs. Carrier and Trane systems typically offer the highest efficiency ratings and longest warranties, while Goodman and Rheem provide solid performance at more affordable prices. We’ll recommend specific models based on your home’s requirements and your priorities. All brands we install are backed by manufacturer warranties and our installation guarantee. We stock common parts locally and maintain service relationships with all manufacturers, ensuring you get support throughout your system’s lifespan.
