AC Repair — An inefficient air conditioning unit can be costing you considerably more in your energy bills than it needs to. At BMS, we always look to do what is best for your budget.

Our fully certified technicians are able to diagnose the issue and repair all makes and models, so you can trust that your repair will be done correctly and thoroughly.

We listen to your needs, understand your budget and then help to find the solution which is best for you and your family.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average life expectancy of an air conditioner?
Most systems have a lifetime of 10 to 20 years. As your equipment gets older, its efficiency can decrease dramatically. You may notice that it gets noisier and needs repairs more often. When a unit begins to show its age, you have two choices — overhaul the system or replace it. As heating and air conditioning technology improve over time, a unit designed with newer, more energy-efficient equipment often makes sense, especially if your system is 7 or more years old. Our authorized air conditioning and heating contractors can provide a FREE in-home estimate for the cost of a new system as well as a payback schedule that will show you how much money your newer, more efficient system will save you in utility bills.
How can I reduce my energy costs?
Here are some ideas to reduce your energy costs:
- Upgrade to a high-efficiency air conditioning or heating system
- Install ceiling fans, schedule annual maintenance check-ups
- Don't block vents in well used rooms
- Close vents in unused rooms
- Install a programmable thermostat
Can I just replace only the outdoor unit on an older air conditioning system to save money?
While it may cost less initially to replace the outdoor unit on an older system, over time, utility expenses will add up and may even cost you more. Replacing only the outdoor unit will lower the efficiency of the unit. Even worse, your system may fail sooner than normal and most manufacturers' warranties will be voided. You should always replace the indoor cooling coil with the outdoor HVAC unit.
Do I need to have my ductwork replaced?
Industry experts estimate that as many as 70% of all homes with central air have poorly installed ductwork. Ducts that are not properly sealed or insulated fail to efficiently get hot or cool air where you need it, therefore costing you money. Before you invest in a new system, we can inspect your ducts and, if needed, we will include specific recommendations in our proposal to you. This can normally be done for FREE as part of your in-home estimate. Don’t spend the money on a new, super-efficient system unless you are sure those efficiency gains won't be lost by poor ductwork.
