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 San Jose, CA, home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Air Care 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 California 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 Air Care 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, with approved credit, to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.

Air Conditioning Repairs

Not having your air conditioner working on the hottest of days in California can be exasperating. Whenever you need a repair, let our heating and cooling experts quickly remedy it for you.

There are many ways your air conditioner can stop working in its normal capacity. A few symptoms you could experience are:

  • Hearing an unusual noise
  • Smelling an unusual odor like burning
  • Feeling warm air coming from your vents
  • Noticing your air conditioner is frozen
  • Leaking water

These symptoms mean you have an issue with your air conditioner. Ignoring problems usually only makes them bigger and more costly. Our recommendation is to have one of our Air Care team members promptly diagnose and repair the issue for you.

Sometimes a repair turns into an emergency. Give us a call when it’s urgent. We are here 24/7 for you.

When you do need our professionals to make a repair, you can count on it staying repaired. We make our repairs right the first time—and only use the highest quality parts and materials when working on your system. Our experts are always here for you.

“AJ and Adolf installed a new air conditioning system and a new thermostat for us. They did a wonderful job. They discussed the process with us, explained options, were patient and professional. When they finished, they walked up through all the work they had done and explained everything to us and gave us plenty of opportunity for questions. We really appreciate the service that we received.”

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mark, Le Quan Tran and Adolph for an HVAC installation, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. They worked incredibly hard, especially given the tough conditions – the space they had to work in was tight, and the weather was unbearably hot. Despite these challenges, Mark and his team remained professional and focused throughout the process.

One thing I really appreciated was Mark’s willingness to collaborate. The location for the piping was difficult to identify, but Mark worked with me in a very constructive way, discussing each option and helping me make the best decisions for the project. His expertise and clear communication made the whole experience seamless.

If you’re looking for someone reliable and skilled for HVAC work, I highly recommend Mark and his team. I would definitely work with them again in the future.

Happy, Happy, Joy-Joy! After a few days of no hot water, AirCare has once again come to our rescue with another job well done! Technicians Adolph & Quan arrived early & on time and completed a thorough & most professional job! They were courteous and clean & afterwards reviewed all the work they had done with me, asking me if I had any questions or needed any clarification. We have been working with AirCare for about 10 years now, ever since they did a complete HVAC renovation in our house, and we have nothing but good things to say about them. We highly recommend their services.
