Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Snohomish home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Lifetime Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric professionals will install your cooling system without delay.
How do you know if you need a replacement air conditioner? Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:
-
- Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years
Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of acting reactively when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.
-
- Experiencing more and more repairs
Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.
-
- Showing signs of running inefficiently
How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.
This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Washington home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.
If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our Lifetime Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.
We also offer several financing options to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.

Not having your air conditioner working on the hottest of days in Washington can be exasperating. Whenever you need a repair, let our heating and cooling experts quickly remedy it for you.

- Hearing an unusual noise

“Just want you all to know what a great experience we have had with Lifetime Heating, Cooling, & Electric. From our very first inquiry to set an appointment for someone to come look at our needs to the completion of the install exceeded our expectations. Bobby took a look at what we had and wanted and was able to quickly give us a quote that we were happy with. We wanted prices on two things First to replace our 10-year-old water tank and help find a way to get hot water to the farthest rooms of our home faster. We love it and we no longer have to run the faucets for five minutes to get hot water! Yes! Love it!
Next, we wanted a price on the best way to cool our home during the heat and smoky times. We liked Bobby’s solutions and are very happy. All the install was on time and Technicians Mark, Angel, Nick B., Marcus, and Nick S. did a great job. They were on time, courteous, and cleaned up everything. GREAT JOB! We will (and have already) told others how happy we are. Thank you.”
