Signs It's Time for an AC Replacement

If your air conditioning system is struggling to keep up, it may be time to upgrade to a newer, more energy-efficient unit.

Common Signs You Need a New AC System:

  • Frequent Repairs – If your AC requires constant fixes, replacement may be more cost-effective.
  • Higher Energy Bills – Older systems lose efficiency, causing increased utility costs.
  • Inconsistent Cooling – Uneven temperatures indicate your system isn’t performing as it should.
  • System Age – AC units typically last 10–15 years; beyond that, efficiency declines.
  • Strange Noises or Odors – Unusual sounds or smells may signal internal damage or malfunctioning parts.

Replacing an old, inefficient unit with a modern, high-efficiency system can lower energy bills and enhance indoor comfort.

Collin came out and was extremely professional and arrived on time. He did excellent work and explained everything clearly while also keeping a great, friendly conversation throughout the visit. Our issue was that no water was coming out of the tub faucet. Not only did he fix that problem, but he also repaired a leaking pipe connected to the tub spout that we didn’t even realize needed attention. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work. We were very satisfied with the service and will definitely be using this company again in the future.

Our sump pump was found leaking on a Saturday around 2p. I called immediately and we were able to arrange for an emergency appt. Garrett was a great plumber, courteous/professional and very efficient in his work late that evening. My only complaint would be the lack of ability to know a time or have more frequent communication about the workers arrival time after my initial call. I had to call around 10p and they finally confirmed an appt from 10:45p-12:45a. Service was excellent and price was reasonable. Would have given 5 stars if communication was better about the appt time.

My tech was professional, and the price was reasonable. Before the tech left, it appeared the problem was solved, however it turns out only part of it was. I reached out them immediately, and the tech returned the next day. He fixed all the problems on my initial complaint, found one more issue and addressed that, too. He spent a lot of time in my home, was very polite and competent. I will use Waterworks again.

Have always been pleased with Waterworks. They’ve done several jobs for us. Quick, friendly, good service for good prices that are always quoted ahead of time. Recent repair was under the kitchen sink. Came in, evaluated the problem, got materials from the truck, and had the job done in about an hour. Very satisfied.

My tenants did not have working water over the weekend and no vendors were available. Waterworks were able to come out on the same day and get the repairs and water turned back on within hours. Susan from dispatch is wonderful and techs Jeff Nick and Tommy were very communicative and got the job done. I would 1000% reccomend to anyone for after hours or over the weekend emergencies.
