AC system reaching end of life

Most AC systems have a typical service life, and equipment that's simply aged out, even without dramatic failure, is a common reason homeowners choose replacement.

02

Frequent breakdowns

If you've called for repairs more than once or twice in a season, replacement often costs less over time than continuing to patch an aging system.

03

System can't keep up

An AC that runs constantly without adequately cooling your home may be undersized or losing efficiency, both good reasons to consider replacement.

04

Upgrading efficiency

Newer AC systems can offer meaningful efficiency improvements over older equipment, which may help offset installation costs through lower energy bills over time.

05

New construction or additions

Building a new home or finishing an addition means installing AC equipment sized specifically for the new space from the start.

Replacing incompatible equipment

When indoor and outdoor units are mismatched or one has failed, replacing both together as a compatible system often makes more sense than a partial fix.

What our customers say

Reviews

How it works

What to expect from your AC installation

We start with a conversation about your home, your budget, and any comfort issues you've noticed, then evaluate your space to recommend properly sized equipment. We'll walk you through options at different price points and efficiency levels before you decide.

Our crew removes your old equipment, installs the new system with attention to refrigerant lines and electrical connections, then tests the full system before considering the installation complete. We register your equipment's manufacturer warranty as part of the process. Our installation services cover heating and cooling equipment. If your existing ductwork requires repair or modification, that work must be completed separately by a ductwork contractor.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A few of the questions we hear most from Lanham homeowners planning an AC installation.

  • Should I replace my indoor and outdoor AC units at the same time?

    That depends on the equipment, but compatibility matters. The indoor and outdoor components need to work together, and combining incompatible equipment can affect performance, efficiency, and warranty eligibility. We review the existing system and manufacturer's requirements first.

  • Can you replace my heating and cooling equipment without replacing the ductwork?

    In many homes, existing ductwork can remain when equipment is replaced, provided it is suitable for the new system. We handle equipment installation but do not install, repair, or replace ductwork, and we'll explain any limitations.

  • How long does AC installation take?

    Most standard installations are completed in a single day, though the timeline can vary depending on your home's layout and whether electrical work is also needed.

  • How do I know what size AC system I need?

    System sizing depends on your home's square footage, insulation, layout, and other factors, not just a simple size-to-square-footage ratio. We calculate this properly rather than guessing.

  • What's the difference between repairing and replacing my AC?

    Repair addresses a specific failed component, while replacement gives you a full system, often with improved efficiency. We'll help you weigh the cost of continued repairs against replacement.

  • Do you install all AC brands?

    We install a range of AC brands and can help you compare options based on efficiency, price, and manufacturer reputation for your specific needs.

  • Will my new AC system come with a warranty?

    Yes, new equipment typically includes a manufacturer warranty, and we handle the registration process as part of your installation.

  • Why should I choose C&V Home Services Inc for AC installation?

    C&V Home Services Inc is a family-owned, owner-operated business based in Lanham, MD with more than 20 years of HVAC experience. We help you choose the right equipment and install it properly.
