Complete AC Unit Replacement San Antonio

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Every AC replacement includes professional system sizing calculations, proper installation by licensed technicians, complete testing and commissioning, and disposal of your old equipment. We handle permits, inspections, and all the details that ensure your installation meets local codes.

San Antonio’s extended cooling season—often April through October—puts unique demands on air conditioning systems. We focus on energy-efficient models with higher SEER ratings that can handle our long summers without destroying your electric bill. The efficiency difference pays for itself over time.

We also evaluate your existing ductwork during every installation. Leaky or improperly sized ducts waste up to 40% of your conditioned air, which means you’re literally paying to cool the outdoors. Proper ductwork ensures you get maximum comfort and efficiency from your investment.

How much does AC replacement cost in San Antonio, TX?

AC replacement in San Antonio typically ranges from $5,000 to $12,000, with most homeowners spending around $8,000 to $10,000 for a quality system properly sized for our climate. San Antonio’s demanding conditions often require larger, more robust systems than milder climates. Your actual cost depends on several factors: home size, desired efficiency level, existing ductwork condition, and installation complexity. Higher SEER-rated systems cost more initially but save significantly on energy bills—crucial when your AC runs 6-8 months per year in our climate. We provide transparent, detailed pricing upfront so you can make informed decisions without pressure. Our quotes include everything needed for proper installation, with no surprise charges or hidden fees added later.
Replace your AC if it’s over 10-12 years old and requiring frequent repairs, struggling to maintain comfortable temperatures during San Antonio’s heat, or causing dramatically higher energy bills. Our extreme climate accelerates wear, so systems often need replacement sooner than in milder areas. Clear replacement signals include uneven cooling throughout your home, strange noises during operation, frequent cycling on and off, or repair estimates exceeding 50% of replacement cost. Don’t wait for complete failure during peak summer when demand is highest and wait times longest. The ideal replacement timing is spring or early fall when temperatures are moderate, demand is lower, and you can make thoughtful decisions without emergency pressure. Planning ahead saves money and stress.
Proper AC sizing in San Antonio requires detailed load calculations considering your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, and our specific climate conditions. San Antonio’s intense heat and humidity typically require larger systems than other regions with milder summers. An undersized system runs constantly without achieving comfortable temperatures, while an oversized system cycles frequently, wastes energy, and fails to remove humidity properly. Both scenarios result in higher bills, reduced comfort, and shorter equipment life. Our technicians perform Manual J load calculations—the industry standard for proper sizing—to determine your exact needs. This scientific approach ensures optimal comfort, energy efficiency, and system longevity in our demanding climate conditions.
Most AC installations in San Antonio complete within 1-2 days, depending on system complexity and any necessary modifications to existing infrastructure. Straightforward replacements where we’re swapping similar equipment typically finish in one full day. More complex installations requiring electrical upgrades, ductwork modifications, or high-efficiency systems with additional components may extend to two days. We provide accurate timelines during your initial consultation based on your specific situation. We understand San Antonio’s heat doesn’t accommodate delays, so we work efficiently while maintaining quality standards. Emergency replacements during peak summer may face longer lead times due to high demand, which is why advance planning benefits both timing and pricing.
Yes, we offer flexible financing options to make AC replacement accessible for San Antonio homeowners facing unexpected system failures or planned upgrades. We understand that AC replacement often comes at inconvenient times, especially during emergency situations in extreme heat. Our financing programs include various terms and payment structures to accommodate different budgets and situations. We can discuss available options during your consultation and help identify solutions that work for your specific circumstances. Many homeowners find that energy savings from new, efficient systems help offset monthly payments, especially in San Antonio where AC systems operate extensively throughout our extended cooling season. The efficiency gains often provide immediate bill relief.
We install all major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem, focusing on models that perform reliably in San Antonio’s demanding climate rather than pushing specific manufacturers. Our recommendations prioritize performance over brand loyalty. Different brands offer varying features, efficiency levels, and price points. We help you choose based on your specific needs, budget, and performance expectations rather than steering you toward higher-profit margins. What matters most is proper sizing and professional installation—those factors determine system performance more than brand names. All equipment comes with manufacturer warranties, plus we provide additional labor warranties for complete peace of mind. We’ll explain differences between brands and models so you can make informed decisions based on facts, not sales pressure.
