Air Conditioning Installation, Repair & Maintenance in Raleigh

Q: How long will my air conditioning system last?

Even with the harsh summers in the Fayetteville 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 1 to 3 months, or as necessary.

Q: Should I repair or replace my AC unit?

If your air conditioner breaks down and it 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.

If you have been living in North Carolina for long, you know that summers are not just unbearably hot, they can also be unpleasantly humid. Fortunately, you can count on your home’s air conditioning unit to keep you cool and comfy. However, if the air conditioning is not working as efficiently as you want (or at all), you can then count on Blanton’s to provide an efficient AC fix or replacement at an affordable price.

Frequently Asked Questions on Air Conditioning

How long will my air conditioning system last?

Even with the harsh summers in the Triangle 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.

What maintenance is required for my AC unit?

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.

Should I repair or replace my AC unit?

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.

What does SEER stand for?

SEER is the seasonal energy efficiency ratio, which represents the efficiency of your air conditioning system over a typical cooling season. Systems with a higher SEER will use less energy and cost less to operate. At Blanton’s, we feature high-performance air conditioning equipment that ranges from 14 SEER to over 20 SEER.

Is a high-efficiency AC unit worth the investment?

Although a 20+ SEER air conditioner may cost more upfront to install, it can save you money every month on your energy bills for the life of the system. Make sure your air conditioner performs at its best with proper sizing and a professional installation from our team at Blanton’s Air, Plumbing & Electric.

Can I install an air conditioning system myself?

A central air conditioner requires advanced skills and costly equipment to install properly, and many jurisdictions will not approve an AC installation unless it was done by a licensed HVAC professional.
