Upgrade and Save on Your Air Conditioner
How long have you owned your air conditioning unit? If you bought it more than 10 years ago, consider an upgrade. HVAC technology has become much more efficient since you bought your last air conditioner. Upgrading to a new model could cut your energy costs by up to 40 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
How Do Air Conditioners Work?
Your air conditioner does not add cold air to your home—it removes heat. In simple terms, the equipment harvests warmth and humidity from the air and sends it outside. From there, fans blow the leftover chilled air through your air ducts and into your living space.
Your air conditioning unit has four main components:
- Evaporator coil
- Compressor
- Expansion valve
- Condenser
Your air conditioner uses a chemical called refrigerant to absorb heat. You may be familiar with Freon®, the most common name brand of refrigerants.
Here’s how the cooling cycle works:
- The evaporator coil extracts heat from inside your home. The refrigerant soaks up the heat.
- The compressor puts pressure on the refrigerant.
- The condenser releases the heat outdoors.
- The expansion valve regulates the refrigerant’s flow back to the evaporator.
Air Conditioner Installation and Replacement
Should you get a new air conditioner or keep the old one? As a homeowner, you’ll have to answer that question at some point—and it’s not always an easy decision. On average, cooling units last 10 to 15 years with good maintenance.
Besides age, here are some signs it’s time to get a new AC:
- High energy or repair costs
- High humidity levels
- Insufficient cooling
Like an old car that you have to keep taking to the shop, an air conditioner that frequently breaks down is likely ready for retirement. Repair costs add up quickly. At some point, it may be more cost-effective to upgrade.
Our team at Bill Bowers A/C & Heating, Inc. will work closely with you to find a cooling solution that fits your home and budget. With the finest equipment and a team of qualified HVAC experts, we’re ready to deliver a product that exceeds your expectations.

What Is a Good SEER Rating?
The term SEER stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio. It measures how much energy your air conditioning system uses to operate. The higher the SEER number, the more efficiently your air conditioner will run.
How Much Money Can a New Air Conditioner Save You?
Our SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) energy savings calculator can help determine how much you could save on your utility bills. Simply enter your current unit’s SEER value and compare it to a newer, more efficient SEER2 unit. You can even customize it to better match your home’s system for a more accurate calculation.

“Gerald was courteous, respectful, knowledgeable, and thorough. He answered my questions and provided sound advice.”
“Christian was great. Very nice young man, you should be proud he’s on your team!”
“We had Christian from Bill Bowers AC & Heating over today for scheduled maintenance, and he was absolutely fantastic! He arrived on time, was professional, and explained everything he was doing in detail. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and cares about keeping our system running efficiently. He even gave us a few helpful tips for maintenance between visits. We couldn’t be happier with the service and highly recommend Christian and the Bill Bowers team!”
“I had a great experience with this company. My daughters have used Bill Bowers and recommended the company to me and I am pleased. Arnie, the technician that serviced my equipment was knowledgeable. He explained verbally and showed me the equipment maintenance that was done (before and after) and showed pictures of the ducts and insulation in the attic. He completed all within a few hours. He was very professional and polite. The company texts you approximate arrival time also. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent. Not a parts changer. Diagnosed my problem and fixed it ASAP. I would give him a raise. Based on my interaction I will be purchasing my next unit from you guys. Thanks again.”
“Arnaldo arrived to address our need for air conditioning repairs promptly as scheduled . . . And within 2 hours of when I called to schedule a time for our repairs! He is a very knowledgeable, competent, professional and . . . To top it off, he’s a very pleasant, kind person! He took the time to educate us on our system and he insured that it was running perfectly before he finished our job and left. I highly recommend Arnaldo with Bill Bowers A/C!”
“Arnie is amazing and prompt, thankful to see him show up. This is the second time he has been to our place. Thank you so much”
“Yesterday, 09/23/2024 I reached out for service because my AC stopped working. Arnaldo arrived at my house a bit before 4:00. He quickly diagnosed the problem, by this time it was after 4:00. My AC needed a capacitor. He realized the time and quickly left to go get the capacitor. When he returned he told me the parts place closed at 4:30 and he wanted to be sure my AC was fixed that day. I appreciate that he went above and beyond in my book. It is hard to find people these days that put others needs first. He easily could have said that the part wouldn't be available until next day. I very, very much appreciate his responsiveness, professionalism and compassion for my family. Thank you so much Arnaldo!!”
“Very pleased with the ac service work and new ductwork replacement. The technicians were great and helpful. Sorry, but only have names of two of the six techs. I have used Bill Bowers for over 5 years and will continue.
I highly recommend this company for HVAC service.”
