Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement

If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Racine, WI, home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our First Call Heating & Cooling professionals will install your cooling system without delay.

How do you know if you need a replacement AC unit? Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:

  • Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years
    Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of acting reactively when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.
  • Experiencing more and more repairs
    Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.
  • Showing signs of running inefficiently
    How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Wisconsin home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.

If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our First Call Heating & Cooling team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.

We also offer several financing options to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.

The programs to support ongoing care and maintenance for the new units are reassuring as we move forward with this important investment.

“We purchased a new MajicPac unit for our condo in 2020. Unfortunately we had several major problems but First Call was always responsive regarding the problems and efforts to repair. We realized early on that this unit was a lemon but stuck with it. The support that First Call (through the owners) gave us was very commendable. We eventually needed to replace the unit. Joel gave us a great deal and as of this time
It has preformed up to our expectations. Thanks to Joel, Julie and all the friendly employees we have dealt with.”
