We know it’s pretty tempting to run your current cooling system until it goes kaput completely. But this is actually an inefficient course of action! In the years leading up to its demise, a cooling system frequently experiences massive efficiency and performance drops. If your AC unit is 15 years or older, prone to breakdowns, and you’re seeing sudden spikes in your energy bill, replacing it will save you money and headaches in the long run.
You should consider AC replacement if:

Even with the harsh summers in the Durham area, you can typically expect your central air conditioner to last 12 to 15 years, while some that are impeccably maintained can last up to 20 years. For the longest service life, schedule maintenance services annually, keep the area around the outdoor unit free of debris, and replace the air filter every one to three months or as necessary.
A typical AC maintenance visit will include cleaning the blower fan and cabinet, checking the refrigerant levels, verifying proper airflow, testing the start capacitor and relay, checking the electrical connections, testing the thermostat and controls, and measuring the current draw of the compressor and fan motors.
If your air conditioner breaks down and is less than 10 years old, AC repairs are likely the best course of action, especially if the problem is minor, like a faulty start capacitor or contactor. If your central air conditioner is more than 10 years old, needs constant repairs, or has a costly part fail, such as the compressor or blower motor, an AC replacement may be the most cost-effective option.
Burning odors, sparks, and not having a functional air conditioner on a hot day all constitute AC emergencies. Repairing your system as soon as possible ensures you don’t experience a fire, heatstroke, or other negative effects.
Proper sizing is essential and requires a thorough load calculation. Our certified HVAC specialists will calculate the appropriate size based on the size of your home, window coverings, insulation, window facing, existing ductwork, and other factors.
We recommend maintaining your air conditioner in the spring and again in the fall. This will ensure your system is ready for the summer and that any damage that occurs over the summer is repaired when the season ends.
Normal condensation may appear as a leak. Or, it could be because the refrigerant line has been punctured or come loose. If it’s blowing hot air, it could be because of low refrigerant levels or because of a thermostat malfunction. And if it’s running continuously, it’s possible the unit is undersized for your home’s needs.
Since 1951, homeowners in Durham have depended on our team for all their HVAC needs. We guarantee our HVAC specialists have the answers you need and the training you can depend on to keep your systems in prime condition.

Thank you, Dekota, and thank you Blanton's. Dekota was awesome! He walked through everything with me. I feel smarter, but not ready to be a plumber yet! Thank you for coming out the same day and giving me a fair price! I'll be requesting him for any future jobs! Cheryl D.
Nick and Jacob were awesome! They went above and beyond fixing our piping. Both were very knowledgeable about their job and kept us updated on what they were doing and explained to us. If we could give more stars we most definitely would. I highly recommend Blanton’s for plumbing and will be using them for electrical as well because of their quality of work. Dayna W.
