Why It Matters Here

Cooling that handles Twin Cities humidity

July and August in the Twin Cities are hot and wet: 85° days with dew points in the 70s. An oversized AC short-cycles and leaves the house cold and clammy. We right-size the new system, match it to your furnace or air handler, and commission with refrigerant charge, static pressure, and airflow measurements so the result is actually comfortable.

HVAC Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ac replacements in the Twin Cities metro. Don't see yours? Call us at 763-301-4829.

A standard 13 to 14 SEER2 residential AC replacement runs around $4,500 to $6,500 installed. A higher-efficiency 16+ SEER2 variable-capacity system runs $6,500 to $10,000. Line-set replacements, electrical work, or pad changes add cost. Xcel rebates apply to most qualifying high-efficiency models.
Not always, but sometimes. If your furnace or air handler is over 12 years old, if the blower motor is not variable-speed, or if the evaporator coil is failing, it usually makes sense to replace both together. A new AC on an old, oversized blower loses a lot of efficiency and comfort.
Yes, and in many cases it is the better long-term move. A cold-climate heat pump provides efficient cooling in summer and efficient heating down to about 0°, with your gas furnace as backup for the coldest days. Xcel offers substantial rebates on qualifying heat pumps.
