HVAC systems generally last 10 to 15 years. However, your system becomes less efficient and performs worse as it gets older. Therefore, after about 10 years, you may want to start looking for a replacement. Even if you're not having any major problems, modern HVAC systems will save you money on your energy bills because they are more efficient. Plus, they generally come with 10-year warranties, so you won’t need to worry about replacing them for quite a while. For trusted air conditioning installation in Staten Island, NY, give us a call!

Probably not. Older systems use Freon R-22, which has been phased out and replaced with Freon R-410A, also known as Puron. Puron is more environmentally friendly and more efficient. In addition, the minimum SEER rating or efficiency that we can use today is 13 SEER (older systems are 10 SEER and below). The refrigerant and efficiency rating of your indoor coil and outdoor unit must be the same. This means you will have to replace the whole system at once.

In most cases, the answer is yes. There are a variety of reasons why you should replace both the outdoor and indoor units simultaneously. For starters, air conditioner and heat pump outdoor units are manufactured to work with a matched indoor unit. When you mix and match units, it can result in reduced efficiency and performance. Also, if you bought your indoor and outdoor units at the same time, your indoor unit will probably be approaching the end of its useful life at about the same time as the outdoor unit. By not replacing the indoor unit too, all you’re doing is delaying the inevitable and likely paying higher energy bills at the same time. By purchasing indoor and outdoor units simultaneously, you’ll get a warranty covering the whole system, meaning that you won’t have to cover the full cost of any needed repairs to your unit during the warranty period.

We recommend having your air conditioner serviced once a year. This will save you money on energy and repair costs, keep your system running smoothly and efficiently, and make it last longer. The longer you put off AC maintenance, the worse your unit will perform, and the more likely it is that it will break down. Trying to save money by delaying maintenance may backfire by forcing you to pay more on energy bills and, potentially, on repairs if a serious issue arises with your system. If you're experiencing issues with your unit, turn to Best Heating and Air Conditioning for reliable air conditioning repair in Staten Island, NY.

Yes, R-22 is no longer allowed in new equipment due to environmental regulations. Since many existing residential air conditioning units still use it, R-22 is still produced. However, it is gradually being phased out. On January 1, 2020, the production of R-22 was reduced by 99.5%, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. It's expensive and difficult to find. Therefore, if your system uses R-22 refrigerant, you may want to consider switching to a newer system. If you're ready for an upgrade, call Best Heating and Air Conditioning for the air conditioning installation Staten Island, NY depends on.

R-22 refrigerant and equipment are being phased out since Montreal Protocol regulations intend to reduce the impact of it on the ozone.
