How Do You Get AC Installed or Replaced in Tacoma?

When standard air conditioners are properly maintained, they can generally last between 15 and 25 years. As your system ages in Tacoma, you may find that you’re scheduling more repair calls than usual, or you might notice that it takes longer to cool your entire home.

Poor indoor air quality, noises coming from the vents, and extreme temperature inconsistencies are also common signs that it’s time for an air conditioner replacement. Older units with normal wear and tear must sometimes work harder to keep up with outdoor temperatures, especially during heat waves or stretches of unusually warm weather in Pierce County. By replacing your existing air conditioner with a newer, high-efficiency model, you’ll enjoy cooler, cleaner indoor air and reduced overall energy costs.

If you’re installing a new system in a newly built home—or if your home has never had central air—the first thing your HVAC technician will do is perform load calculation testing. These Manual J calculations measure the square footage, insulation levels, windows, sun exposure, and air leakage of your space to correctly determine the right size unit to effectively and efficiently cool your home.

After you’ve chosen your unit, your HVAC technician will handle your new air conditioner installation from start to finish. We set the outdoor condenser in the ideal location for airflow and service access, size and route refrigerant lines, confirm proper drainage, pressure-test and evacuate the system, and then charge to manufacturer specifications. Once your new system is installed, your technician will perform additional tests to make sure it runs as it should—verifying airflow, temperature split, thermostat calibration, and safe electrical connections. We’ll review maintenance tips and recommended filter schedules so your AC performs reliably through Puget Sound summers.

How Do I Know If I Need to Replace My AC?

If your air conditioner exhibits any of the following signs, you may benefit from new air conditioner installation or replacement in Tacoma and the Greater Puget Sound:

Inaccurate thermostat readings

High humidity levels or extremely dry air inside the home

Air conditioner fails to start

Loud noises coming from the air conditioner as it runs

Another indication that your AC might need replacing is a noticeable drop in comfort or airflow. If certain rooms are no longer cooling evenly, or the unit seems to run constantly without reaching the desired temperature, these could be signs that the compressor is failing or that the system can no longer keep up with demand—especially in multi-level homes in South End, Delong Park, St. Helens, Crescent Heights, Larchmont, Edison, or Highlands.

Finally, consider your energy bills. A gradual increase in your monthly utility costs, despite no changes in usage habits, often points to declining efficiency. Newer AC models offer much higher SEER ratings, meaning they cool your home using less electricity. If your current system is driving up your bills, replacing it with a modern, high-efficiency model can pay for itself over time through energy savings and improved reliability. Hunt’s Services offers straightforward pricing and options so you can choose what fits your budget.
