One of the best indicators of an AC in need of replacement is frequent repairs. If you find yourself scheduling multiple repairs, it is a sign that the system is no longer working as it should. Much like an older vehicle, once one part begins to fail on your AC, it is only a matter of time before it will break down completely. That’s why it’s imperative you reach out to the Carlsbad air conditioning team at John Stevenson Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. at the first sign of a problem.
Our pros will provide thorough diagnostics of your current system followed by an honest assessment of the state of your air conditioner. If replacement is deemed the best option, we will perform the service with accuracy and efficiency.

When Should I Replace My AC Unit?
California can be sweltering during the warm summer months, and having a reliable air conditioner is crucial to staying cool and comfortable. However, like all appliances, AC units will eventually break down. Therefore, to avoid increased energy bills and costlier repairs, it’s important to understand when this system should be replaced. One primary factor to consider is the age of your unit. Typically, if your air conditioning system is older than 12-15 years, it’s time to start considering a replacement. However, that is not the only indication that a new air conditioner is needed.
It May Be Time to Replace Your Air Conditioner if You Notice:Â
- That there are strange sounds coming from the unit, such as rattling, clanking, or rumbling noises
- That the system keeps turning on and off in quick, short bursts, often referred to as short cycling
- That there is a decrease in airflow throughout your property
- That the AC unit still uses R-22 Freon refrigerant
- That there has been a decline in your home’s overall air quality
- That the system struggles to produce cool air
- That there are burning odors emitting from the system when it's running
- That the air conditioner is leaking refrigerant
After completion of work, our expert HVAC specialists will walk you through the job and take the time to answer any remaining questions; it’s all part of our 5 Star Service Guarantee!

What Is a Good Seer Rating for an Air Conditioner?
When it comes time to replace your air conditioner, one important factor you’ll want to consider when looking for a new system is the SEER rating. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and it is a measurement that gauges the cooling output of an air conditioner divided by the energy it uses in a session, which ultimately determines how efficient the unit is. Overall, the higher the SEER rating, the more energy efficient the unit is at cooling your home. In California, the minimum SEER rating for air conditioners is 15, or 14.3 for SEER2 ratings, based on new regulations. However, some recommend investing in a system with a SEER rating higher than the minimum.Â
While selecting an air conditioning unit with a higher SEER rating can ultimately lead to lower energy bills and a more eco-friendly home, you should always speak with a professional Carlsbad AC replacement technician to determine what SEER rating is best for your home’s individual needs.Â
New Energy Efficient AC Systems
As air conditioning systems age, they begin to lose efficiency. Additionally, a lack of maintenance will only lessen the lifespan of your AC unit. That’s why our team not only recommends replacing outdated air conditioners with more high efficiency systems, but also recommends investing in regular maintenance to get the most out of your new unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's a Pre-Installation Evaluation? Does My New A/C Need One?
In short, yes. A first step is conducting an energy audit to determine the energy load for your home.
