Your old system isn’t just uncomfortable. It’s costing you money every month it runs.
A new AC unit replacement in Boerne, TX means your electric bill drops by 30-50% compared to systems installed before 2010. You’re not calling for repairs twice a summer. Your home cools evenly—no more hot bedrooms while the living room freezes.
Modern systems run quieter, handle humidity better, and actually maintain the temperature you set. In Boerne’s climate, where you’re running AC from April through October, that efficiency pays for itself in 4-6 years. After that, it’s pure savings.
And if your system is over 10 years old, you’re already past the point where repairs make sense. The next breakdown isn’t a question of if—it’s when. Replacing it now means you’re not scrambling during a 105-degree week in July when every HVAC company is booked solid and equipment is backordered.
We’ve been handling HVAC replacement in Boerne, TX and across the Hill Country for over two decades. We’re veteran-owned, locally operated, and we’ve seen every kind of AC failure this climate can throw at a system.
We don’t work off commissions or push unnecessary upgrades. You get a load calculation, a system sized correctly for your home, and a price that doesn’t change once the work starts. Our crews are certified, our equipment comes with full manufacturer warranties, and we’re available 24/7 when emergencies happen.
Boerne homeowners deal with unique challenges—high ceilings, older home construction, cedar pollen, and heat that doesn’t quit. We size systems based on your actual square footage, insulation, window placement, and how your home is oriented. That’s how you avoid the oversized or undersized units that lead to short cycling, humidity problems, and early failure.
First, we come out and do a proper load calculation. That’s a Manual J assessment—it accounts for your home’s size, ceiling height, insulation quality, ductwork condition, and sun exposure. This determines what size system you actually need, not what fits the space or what’s on sale.
Next, we walk you through equipment options. You’ll see upfront pricing for different efficiency levels, brand choices, and warranty coverage. We explain what the SEER2 rating means for your electric bill, what rebates or tax credits you qualify for, and how financing works if you need it.
Once you approve the plan, most installations finish in 6-8 hours. We pull permits, remove your old system, install the new unit, handle all electrical and ductwork connections, test everything under full load, and haul away the old equipment. You’re not left with a mess or a multi-day project.
After installation, we program your thermostat, show you how the new system works, and register your warranty. You get our contact info for any follow-up questions, and we’re available around the clock if something comes up.
Ready to get started?
Every air conditioning replacement in Boerne, TX includes complete removal and disposal of your old system, professional installation of properly sized equipment, all necessary electrical connections and ductwork modifications, permits and inspections, and full testing under load conditions.
You’re getting systems that meet the updated 2025 federal standards—minimum 15 SEER2 in Texas, with most homeowners choosing 16-18 SEER2 for better efficiency. Starting in 2026, new systems will use R-454B or R-32 refrigerants instead of R-410A, which means lower environmental impact and better long-term availability of service parts.
In Boerne, most homes need 4-5 ton systems due to square footage, ceiling height, and Texas heat demands. Undersizing leaves you uncomfortable. Oversizing wastes energy and creates humidity problems. We size it right the first time.
You’ll also qualify for utility rebates up to $1,500 and federal tax credits up to $2,000 on high-efficiency systems. We handle the paperwork and make sure you’re getting every dollar you’re entitled to. Financing options are available if you’d rather spread the cost out, and we work with lenders who specialize in HVAC installations.
Most AC replacement projects in Boerne, TX run between $8,000 and $15,000, depending on system size, efficiency rating, and any ductwork modifications needed. That’s for a complete installation with permits, proper load calculations, and warranty registration.
Higher-efficiency systems cost more upfront but cut your electric bill by 30-50% compared to older units. If you’re replacing a system from 2010 or earlier, the energy savings typically cover the difference in 4-6 years. After that, you’re saving money every month.
You can offset the cost with utility rebates up to $1,500 and federal tax credits up to $2,000 on qualifying high-efficiency equipment. We’ll walk you through what you’re eligible for and handle the rebate paperwork. Financing is available if you’d rather make monthly payments instead of paying the full amount upfront.
Most AC system replacements in Boerne, TX are completed in 6-8 hours. You’ll have cooling restored the same day we start work, assuming there are no major ductwork issues or electrical panel upgrades required.
The timeline includes removing your old system, installing the new indoor and outdoor units, connecting refrigerant lines and electrical, testing the system under full load, and programming your thermostat. We pull permits before we start and schedule inspections as required by local code.
If your ductwork needs significant repairs or your electrical panel can’t handle the new system’s load, that adds time. We’ll identify those issues during the initial assessment so there are no surprises. Emergency replacements during peak summer heat get priority scheduling—we’re not leaving you without AC for days while you wait for an opening.
If your system is over 10 years old and needs a repair that costs more than $1,000, replacement makes more sense. You’re already past the typical lifespan for AC units in Texas, where extreme heat and long runtime cycles wear systems down faster than in milder climates.
Here’s the math: older systems lose efficiency every year, which means higher electric bills. If you’re calling for repairs more than once a year, those costs add up fast. A new system cuts your cooling costs by 30-50%, runs more reliably, and comes with a 10-year parts warranty and up to 20 years on the compressor.
Refrigerant is another factor. If your system uses R-22 (Freon), that refrigerant is phased out and expensive to source. Even R-410A systems will face higher repair costs as the industry shifts to R-454B starting in 2026. Replacing now means you’re getting current technology that’s easier and cheaper to service long-term.
Most homes in Boerne, TX need a 4-5 ton system, but the only way to know for sure is with a Manual J load calculation. That assessment factors in your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, number of windows, sun exposure, and ductwork condition.
Bigger isn’t better when it comes to AC sizing. An oversized system short cycles—it cools the air too fast without removing humidity, leaving your home clammy and uncomfortable. It also wears out faster because it’s constantly turning on and off. An undersized system runs nonstop and never quite reaches the temperature you set.
Texas homes, especially in the Hill Country, often have high ceilings, large windows, and older insulation. That means your cooling load is higher than a similar-sized home in a different climate. We measure everything, run the calculations, and size the system based on your actual needs—not guesswork or rules of thumb.
Yes. If you’re replacing a system installed before 2010, you’ll see a 30-50% drop in cooling costs with a modern high-efficiency unit. That’s not marketing talk—it’s the difference between a 10 SEER system and a 16-18 SEER2 system running through a Texas summer.
In Boerne, where you’re running AC from April through October, that efficiency adds up fast. A typical homeowner saves $600-$1,200 per year on electric bills with a new system. Over the 15-20 year lifespan of the unit, that’s $9,000-$24,000 in savings—well over the cost of the replacement.
You’ll also qualify for utility rebates and federal tax credits on high-efficiency systems, which can total $3,000-$3,500 in immediate savings. Factor in fewer repairs, better humidity control, and more consistent comfort, and the return on investment is clear. The system pays for itself, then keeps saving you money every month after that.
We install all major brands including Trane, Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Lennox, and York. The brand matters less than proper sizing, correct installation, and regular maintenance. A mid-tier system installed correctly will outperform a premium system installed poorly.
That said, we’ll walk you through the differences in warranty coverage, efficiency ratings, and price points. Some brands offer longer compressor warranties or quieter operation. Others hit a better price-to-performance ratio for homeowners who want solid reliability without paying for premium features they won’t use.
What matters most is that the system is sized correctly for your home, installed to manufacturer specs, and maintained regularly. We’re certified to work on all major brands, we stock common parts, and we have relationships with local suppliers for fast access to components when repairs are needed down the road. You’re not locked into a single-brand service provider.
