REPAIR VS. REPLACE
WHEN IT'S TIME TO REPLACE INSTEAD OF REPAIR
The $5,000 Rule: Multiply the repair cost by the age of your system in years. If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually the smarter financial move.
A 16-year-old AC needing a $400 compressor repair works out to $6,400. That same money toward a new system makes more sense — especially when a modern SEER 16 unit cuts your cooling bills by 20–40% versus a 16-year-old SEER 10 system.
Other reasons to replace: your system uses R-22 refrigerant (no longer manufactured, expensive to recharge), you've had multiple repairs over the past two years, or your home never reaches a comfortable temperature even when the AC runs all day.

EFFICIENCY
SEER RATINGS EXPLAINED
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures how efficiently an AC cools over an entire season. Higher SEER means lower monthly electric bills. In Gresham, where the cooling season runs June through September with occasional heat dome events, SEER rating meaningfully affects annual energy costs.
Meets minimum code. Lower upfront cost, higher operating costs over the system lifetime.
Best balance for most Gresham homes. Efficiency payback typically within 4–6 years.

FAQ
AC INSTALLATION QUESTIONS
How much does a new AC system cost in Gresham, OR?
A complete AC replacement in Gresham typically runs $5,500–$15,000+ depending on system size (tonnage), SEER rating, and brand. Many Oregon homes also need ductwork modifications or heat pump upgrades. We provide free in-home estimates with no pressure to commit.
What size AC do I need for my Gresham home?
AC sizing depends on square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, window exposure, and local climate. A proper Manual J load calculation determines the right tonnage. Oversized systems short-cycle and create humidity problems. Undersized systems run constantly and still don't cool properly.
What SEER rating should I choose?
Minimum efficiency for new Oregon installations is SEER 14–15. We recommend SEER 16–18 for most Gresham homes — the energy savings typically offset the higher upfront cost within 4–6 years, and Oregon's mild shoulder seasons mean the system earns back efficiency over a longer window.
How long does AC installation take?
A standard residential AC replacement takes 4–8 hours. New installations with ductwork changes may take 1–2 days. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your household.
Do you offer financing for new AC systems?
Yes. Financing options including 0% APR promotional periods are available for qualified customers. Ask about current financing terms when you call.
Is there a warranty on the new system?
All new systems include manufacturer parts warranties (typically 5–10 years with registration). Ask about our labor warranty on installation work.
