Upgrade and Save on Your Air Conditioner
How long have you owned your air conditioning unit? If you bought it more than 10 years ago, consider an upgrade. HVAC technology has become much more efficient since you bought your last air conditioner. Upgrading to a new model could cut your energy costs by up to 40 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
How Do Air Conditioners Work?
Your air conditioner does not add cold air to your home—it removes heat. In simple terms, the equipment harvests warmth and humidity from the air and sends it outside. From there, fans blow the leftover chilled air through your ductwork and into your living space.
Your air conditioning unit has four main components:
- Evaporator coil
- Compressor
- Expansion valve
- Condenser
Your air conditioner uses a chemical called refrigerant to absorb heat. You may be familiar with Freon, the most common name brand of refrigerants.
Here’s how the cooling cycle works:
- The evaporator coil extracts heat from inside your home. The refrigerant soaks up the heat.
- The compressor puts pressure on the refrigerant.
- The condenser releases the heat outdoors.
- The expansion valve regulates the refrigerant’s flow back to the evaporator.
Air Conditioner Installation and Replacement
Should you get a new air conditioner or keep the old one? As a homeowner, you’ll have to answer that question at some point—and it’s not always an easy decision. On average, cooling units last 10 to 15 years with good maintenance.
Besides age, here are some signs it’s time to get a new AC:
- High energy or repair costs
- High humidity levels
- Insufficient cooling
Like an old car that you have to keep taking to the shop, an air conditioner that frequently breaks down is likely ready for retirement. Repair costs add up quickly. At some point, it may be more cost-effective to upgrade.
Our team at Service Edge Heating & Air will work closely with you to find a cooling solution that fits your home and budget. With the finest equipment and a team of qualified HVAC experts, we’re ready to deliver a product that exceeds your expectations.

What Is a Good SEER Rating?
The term SEER stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio. It measures how much energy your air conditioning system uses to operate. The higher the SEER number, the more efficiently your air conditioner will run.
How Much Money Can a New Air Conditioner Save You?
Our SEER energy savings calculator can help determine how much you could save on your utility bills. Simply enter your current unit's SEER value and compare it to a newer, more efficient system. You can even customize it to better match your home's system for a more accurate calculation.

TEST of response to review
“If I could leave 10 stars that would not be enough to adequately describe how wonderful this company was to work with.
The initial call to the office was answered by a super nice, efficient and helpful person by the Naomi.
Very quickly she set up an appointment for that afternoon.
Eddie the technician arrived and quickly went to work diagnosing out issue.
Our system has age on it and has done unusual issues.
He explained everything and encouraged us to select the service plan which we are so grateful.
If he could be cloned, Service Edge would be blessed.
He worked so hard and would not quit until he solved our issues.

“James M. visited to give quotes. He explained very well and impressed with his service and pleasure to meet him. Excellent customer services”
“I called after work because my house was reading 90 degrees. I called service edge. Tavon was so quick and professional and gave us great advice on how to keep our system running properly. They are now my heating and air go to. Thank you all”
“My family and I returned home Saturday afternoon to an increasingly warm home. After checking the thermostat, the 80 degree reading, and an inability to adjust the thermostat using the control panel UI, confirmed there was an issue with our A/C. Yes, I was concerned for my family’s comfort, but the struggle to find available and professional service on a Saturday evening sent the concern from my head to my pocket. I thought “this is going to be a PITA as well as a costly “.
Then I found James and his fleet of expert technicians at Service Edge. James contacted me as he went through his list of remaining service calls for that evening. While James was unable to send someone to my home immediately, his incredible professionalism and concern for my experience was on full display. I was impressed/moved by the way James spoke to me as if he sincerely cared about my family and I. He offered advice on things I could do to make my family comfortable while he schedules a technician to arrive at my home the next morning. Still, I was concerned my lack of HVAC technology would make me a victim of inflated pricing or unnecessary charges … after all, I was in somewhat of a desperate situation waving a blank check in search of assistance. The next morning, I received a text message and call from Tavon. Upon arrival at my home, Tavon was very professional in his communication, dressed in his clean uniform, and careful not to disrupt my family as he entered our house. After checking the unit, I was convinced Tavon must be Service Edge’s best technician. He was ultra knowledgeable about the HVAC industry, my A/C unit itself, and the work required to properly correct my issue. Tavon was a blessing. As he explained the issue with my unit, he carefully detailed the steps taken to diagnose my problem, activity required for the repair, the time required to complete the work, and the cost of the repair/service. The part required to fix my unit was not on his truck, but Tavon called to be certain it was available at the shop. Tavon promptly returned the next morning (exactly when he said he would), professionally completed the repair (exactly as he described the day before), and the closed with a thorough explanation of all work completed. I was so impressed by his professionalism and self-confidence. He knew what he was doing, understood my experience, and took care of things with very positive spirit. Too often, you get repair folks at your home who act like the last thing they want to do is deal with your problem. James, Tavon, and the Service Edge family are GOOD people. They offer great service for a reasonable price. NO, their skilled work was not free, however, I’m 100% confident that I received stellar AND honest service at a fair and reasonable price. Thank You, Tavon !! I now know more about my A/C unit. If ANYTHING happens, I will be calling Service Edge for assistance with ZERO hesitation.”
“My technician Robert, who came out to do the services on my home’s AC unit was nothing but professional. Essentially he had to do almost 3 years of maintenance in his two hours and even took the time to not just show what he fixed and maintenanced but educated myself on how the system should properly work for my knowledge. Highly recommended technician and company!”
“Amazing experience and service, They took the time and ensured that not just the service was completed but also took the time to check our overall systems, explained everything and scotty was incredible respectful of property and pets and was like having a friend stopping by! Will never go anywhere else!”
“Great job! Got the HVAC fixed right away.”
