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 Southington, CT, home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Ductworks HVAC Services professionals will install your cooling system without delay.
How do you know if you need a replacement air conditioner? 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 Connecticut 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 Ductworks HVAC Services 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.

My experience with the office staff and Chris the installation lead Technician was very positive. Top notch professionalism at Duct Works ! I highly recommend them !”
“Much impressed; I spent > $20K for a new HVAC system and during recent hot weather with a thunder storm power outage one of my multiple AC wall units would not operate when power was restored. Ductworks service responded immediately and determined there was a defect in their supplier's wall unit. The day after the fourth of July they replaced the defective unit just in time for more hot weather. Yes I definitely recommend Ductworks Chet”
“Called for repair at 7 am. Technician arrived around 3 pm and made the necessary repairs. Same day service was fantastic, and the technician was excellent. Justin explained what was required for the repair in detail and in terms that anyone could understand. I would highly recommend Ductworks for great service.”
“Justin was amazing! He did a thorough search- took pictures of air handlers and stood in the rain with me for 1/2 hour helping me understand the cooling system in an older house we just bought. As an untrained woman in this area, he took the time to walk me through every detail and explain it in a way that immensely helped me balance my options and costs – 10 stars!”
“We have been using Ductworks for the past 13 years and have never had a less-than-positive experience. The technicians who have performed our regular maintenance have been knowledgeable and thorough. Any time we have needed repairs or replacements, they are done promptly and expertly. Our most recent service technician was Justin, who went above and beyond in explaining the status of our system and making both short-term and long-term recommendations. We can recommend this company without reservation.”
Recently contracted with Ductworks for maintenance. Setting up an appointment was easy and the tech Melvin walked through everything he did during the inspection. Happy with the service.
