Benefits of a New Air Conditioning System
A new air conditioning system will keep your La Plata, MD, home safe and comfortable during the hotter months in Maryland. It will also run more efficiently and potentially lower your energy bills.
Older air conditioning units tend to run longer and use more electricity. A new air conditioner, especially a variable-speed model, uses less electricity, saving you money.
How Long Does an Air Conditioning Unit Last?
Your air conditioning system might turn on and off, but that does not mean you are getting the best value for your money in terms of comfort and energy savings. Central air conditioners lose efficiency as they age.
Parts wear out, and air conditioning repairs are more frequent.
As your air conditioning unit struggles to maintain efficiency, it uses more energy and increases electricity spending. More frequent repairs will have you opening your wallet again and again.
Well-maintained central air conditioners can last 10 to 15 years before they slow down, although ENERGY STAR® recommends setting a replacement budget for a unit “more than 10 years old.”
Understanding SEER2 Ratings
SEER2 stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2, a rating that measures a cooling system’s energy efficiency. The higher the SEER2 number, the greater the energy efficiency.
Different parts of the country have different rating standards based on the climate and how hot it gets outdoors. For example, new central air conditioners must have a minimum 13.4 SEER2 rating in the northern states and 14.3 in the southwest.
How Long Does Air Conditioner Installation Take?
Our licensed air conditioning installers at Wright Mechanical typically have a new system in service in under one day. The installation may take a bit longer if we need to extend ductwork or do a little extra to facilitate the best use of your new energy-efficient air conditioner.
When Is the Best Time to Buy a New Air Conditioner?
Early spring or fall is the best time to call for new air conditioning installation with little wait. But any time you need one is the best answer. We can install a new air conditioner throughout the year in your La Plata, MD, home.
Also, if you need a new heating system, replacing your cooling system at the same time is generally more cost-effective in terms of installation costs and vice versa.

“Let me start off by saying that the two techs, Alex and Ivan, were great. They were punctual, professional, and thorough. They updated me throughout the long process of removing my 20+ year old HVAC system and installation of the new one. They even took the time to install my new smart thermostat, help me configure it, and test it without additional cost. Speaking of cost, I solicited three other offers and Wright Mechanical was far and away the least expensive. Combine that with a great customer experience and you can't go wrong with Wright Mechanical.”

“We just bought our house not too long ago and the furnace gave out. We had a contractor who our insurance company sent out, look at it, and left us in a worse position (we had some sort of heat but they broke two components on the furnace leaving us with none).
We ended up going around our insurance company and we came across Wright Mechanical (WM), where I met Jacob G, a residential technician for WM, who not only looked at the furnace but educated me on what went wrong and walked me through the components.
After the consultation we did a bit more research with other contractors and decided to go with WM because of the customer service that Jacob provided and the reviews. They did not disappoint! Your home is your investment and it’s important to get the right people on the job who can do it right the first time.
They got the job done in 8 hours, big shout out to Jacob G, Nick, and Nick (that’s not a typo) for the new furnace and AC unit. I highly recommend them.”
