Ask a proSystems installed in the program’s earlier years may be 20 or more years old, and many use R-22 refrigerant that is no longer produced. A leak or failed compressor at that age usually makes replacement the better value.
The lower level sits partly below grade and is often far from the thermostat. Balancing the dampers, adding a return or zoning the lower level helps.
New windows and doors keep noise out but also keep moisture and odors in. Ventilation, a dehumidifier in summer or running the fan on low can help.
Ask for a load calculation rather than a like-for-like replacement. A sound-insulated house needs less cooling than it did before the work, and an oversized AC short cycles and leaves the air clammy.
If the furnace is close in age to the AC, consider replacing both. A matched furnace blower and AC coil cool more efficiently and save a second visit.
