AC Replacement, Efficiency & CA Codes FAQs
Considering a new air conditioner for your Los Angeles home? Here are answers to common questions about AC replacement, high-efficiency units, and California’s energy standards. For personalized advice, call LC Heating and Air 24/7 at 213-699-5333.
When should I consider replacing my air conditioner?
Consider replacement if your AC is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent and costly repairs, struggles to cool your home (especially during LA heatwaves), runs inefficiently (high energy bills), or uses outdated R-22 refrigerant (being phased out). LC Heating and Air offers free consultations. Call 213-699-5333.
Benefits include significantly lower energy bills, improved cooling performance and comfort, better indoor air quality, quieter operation, increased home value, and reduced environmental impact. Plus, you may qualify for rebates! Contact LC Heating and Air at 213-699-5333 to learn more.
SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) is the updated standard for measuring AC efficiency, reflecting more realistic operating conditions than the older SEER rating. Higher SEER2 ratings mean greater energy efficiency. California has minimum SEER2 requirements for new installations. LC Heating and Air can explain the ratings for your options. Call 213-699-5333.
Are there new California regulations I need to know about for AC replacement?
Yes, California’s Title 24 energy standards include specific requirements for new HVAC installations, focusing on higher efficiency (SEER2 ratings) and potentially other factors like duct sealing and testing. LC Heating and Air stays current on all regulations and ensures your new system is fully compliant. Call us 24/7 at 213-699-5333.
What is the difference between R-22 and R-410A refrigerant?
R-22 (Freon) is an older refrigerant being phased out due to environmental concerns. Newer systems use R-410A or other more eco-friendly alternatives. If your old system uses R-22, repairs involving refrigerant may become very expensive or impossible, making replacement a better option. LC Heating and Air installs systems with modern refrigerants. Call 213-699-5333.
