Air Conditioner Replacement

At some point, even the most well-maintained air conditioners reach the end of their useful life. When that time comes, you’ll need expert AC replacement in Stafford. Our team works closely with homeowners to choose the perfect replacement for their cooling needs.

We also handle removing your old, outdated air conditioner. If you need new ductwork for your new AC, we’ll handle that, too. Together, this helps ensure that your AC replacement in Stafford keeps your entire home comfortable.

New AC Installation

Installing a new AC is a great way to make your home more comfortable. In the face of Stafford’s hot, humid summers, many homes get too hot. While options like window ACs may provide localized cooling, they’re largely inefficient. They also can’t keep your entire house cool. Let us install a new AC that can keep your entire home cool and comfortable all summer long.

Cooling System Sizing

Choosing the right size system is one of the most important parts of a professional air conditioner installation in Stafford. Undersized systems run constantly without ever adequately cooling your home. Conversely, oversized systems short cycle, which means they never finish a cooling cycle. Short-cycling also leads to increased wear and tear on the components.

We start the process of air conditioning installation in Stafford by determining the AC size that you need. From there, we’ll help you choose a system that fits your budget and efficiency goals.

Choosing the Right AC for Stafford’s Humid Summers

Choosing a new AC isn’t just about picking the most affordable option. There are several factors to consider, and we’ll gladly help you through the process.

Factors to consider during cooling system replacement in Stafford include:
  • Size of your home
  • Ductwork
  • Efficiency goals
  • Layout of your home

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that a new air conditioner is a major investment. Here are some of the most common questions we get about our AC installation services.


Constant running is the most common sign of an undersized air conditioner. When your AC isn’t big enough, it has to run constantly to keep your home cool. Other signs include high indoor humidity and uneven cooling throughout your home.

Start by comparing the amount that you would need to spend on repairing your AC with the price of a new system. If annual repairs cost 50% of the price of a new system, an AC upgrade is worthwhile. Also consider your current system’s efficiency ratings with those of newer, more advanced models.

Yes, it can. New air conditioners provide more effective and efficient cooling throughout your home. A new system should also do a better job of removing humidity from your indoor air.

I highly recommend Childress Heating & Air. They have been our HVAC maintenance service providers since we moved into our house, earlier this year. They are professional, courteous and respectful. We had to replace an HVAC system recently and the experience was fantastic.
