Air Conditioner Installation
It won’t shock too many people to hear this: summers in the Memphis area are hot! They’re also pretty long. Summer conditions often arrive during calendar spring and last into the fall. Add in the humidity and you understand why people often use “sweltering” and “steamy” to describe our summers.
During the hot season, you need your home to be a refuge from the heat and humidity. Opening windows and turning on fans won’t cut it. This means you need an AC system that is up to date and properly installed. If it isn’t, then it’s time to consider a replacement. With a modern system installed correctly, you’ll experience benefits beyond just physical comfort.
The Benefits of a New AC System
You will save on energy costs
Modern AC systems are far more energy-efficient than older ones. At the same time, they perform better. As a result, you get the best of both worlds. Your modern AC system performs exceptionally well, and it uses less energy doing so. This means your energy bills will go down. Savings can be over 50%! You might qualify for a tax deduction as well.You will be more comfortable
Modern AC systems operate more efficiently, and they circulate cool air better. Maybe your home has spots that never seem to be comfortable enough. With a new system, you’ll be much less likely to have that problem.Your health will improve
New, modern AC systems minimize the risks of mold and mildew developing. Because they filter and circulate air better, they also reduce the presence of allergens. People with allergies or asthma benefit the most from this, but everyone benefits from cleaner, fresher air.Your home value will go up
If you’re planning to buy a new home anytime in the future, are you going to be eager to have to repair or replace an old AC system? Well, the same goes for any prospective buyers of your home. No one appreciates sinking even more money into a home after buying it. If you have a new system, it can add value to your home and increase its attractiveness to buyers.Put Your Trust in Choate’s!

The Importance of Proper A/C Installation
All of those benefits hinge on proper installation.
There are a lot of people out there who can install an AC system for you, but not all of them have the experience, knowledge, and professionalism to do it right.
When someone does a poor job installing an AC system, it’s you who suffers. That suffering can take a number of forms:
- The system will not work as efficiently.
- You can see higher costs in the form of energy bills and repairs.
- Poor installation might void your system’s warranty, leaving you stuck with big costs.
- The air inside your home might not circulate as well and might not be as clean.
- If the installer does not set the electrical controls properly, the system could see a reduced lifespan.Again, this will cost you more money in the long run.
Proper installation is therefore the foundation of everything when it comes to your AC system. You’ll save money, be more comfortable, add value to your home, and get more life out of your system.
Package A/C Units
Split A/C Units
More attractive and more permanent than window units, split ACs rely on an exterior condenser and indoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat enabling optimal temperature control from room to room.
To optimize whole-house cooling, many homeowners opt to connect multiple interior units with a single condenser. This is, often, a very efficient and very cost effective way to operate -- it’s easy to cool only “in-use” rooms versus your entire home or office. Additionally, there’s never any loss of cold air through ductwork, which is often the case with central air.
Ductless A/C Systems
More and more homeowners are opting for duct-free cooling systems. These mini splits combine operating efficiency, consistent climate control and low-cost installation, all with the reliability users demand. An optimal replacement for window units and baseboard heating, ductless AC systems can easily be integrated into virtually any space, with just a small hole drilled into the wall.

AC Installation FAQs
Buying an air conditioning system is a big investment, in terms of both cost and commitment — so, not surprisingly, there’s no one-size-fits-all formula for selecting system.
Our specialist can help you choose the right system based on the size and construction of your home. As you’ll discover, some factors such as technology and home configuration can make some makes and models more efficient than others in your space.
An AC system that’s the right size for your home will keep your monthly utility costs low, increase your home’s energy efficiency and keep your family comfortable year-round. At Choate’s, we offer free consultation services to help you choose the right unit for your home, cooling needs and budget.
There are a lot of things you can do to improve your home’s energy efficiency — and drive your energy bills down. For starters, insulation, shutters, UV-blocking screens and other measures can help maintain your home’s temperature and reduce the need for heating and cooling.
One of the most effective options, however, is to choose an energy-efficiency HVAC system with a high SEER rating. It’s also important to choose equipment that’s the right size for your home, so it isn’t running constantly or turning on and off too frequently, as often happens with units that are too large. We also suggest keeping the blower set to “on” to keep air circulating inside your home.
Seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) is an efficiency rating used to evaluate the performance of an air conditioning system. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient your unit will be. Units with higher SEERs cost more on average, but since they’re more effective, they cost much less to operate over the course of your equipment’s lifespan.
It might be tempting to avoid this routine maintenance for the first few years of your new unit’s lifespan, but it could cost you in longevity and efficiency. Most units don’t start experiencing major problems until they’re at least even years old, but routine, bi-annual maintenance is a simple and comparatively affordable way to maximize the lifespan of your equipment and avoid major issues.
All major issues start as small ones, and preventative maintenance is the best way to catch them early on, saving you hassles, headaches and unnecessary costs.
The lifespan of every AC system varies, but most systems last about 12 years. The likelihood of a major problem increases as the unit ages, with most issues occurring after the seventh year. In some cases, it’s more economical to replace the unit than repair, but a certified technician can help you determine the best course of action for your unique system.
We offer several flexible financing options to help our customers purchase a new AC unit. The financing promotions vary, so please get in touch to discuss our current options.
