Here are a few of the many air conditioning replacement services in Sussex County, DE, that we provide:

Central Air Conditioning Installation

A central air conditioning system uses a duct system to regulate the air throughout a designated space. It is one of the more expensive and time-consuming air conditioner options but proves highly effective when complete. To install a central air conditioner, you will need to schedule an initial consultation with our Sussex County team. Central AC installation can be a complex process since the system must attach to your existing ductwork while the indoor unit is replaced.

We will inspect your space and make assessments to ensure we can install everything according to your specifications.

Heat Pump Installation

If your ancient central air conditioning system is sucking up your time and money without providing any actual comfort, it may be time to consider a different type of AC unit. A heat pump system serves as both an air conditioner and a heat source in your home, eliminating the need to install dual HVAC systems. Not only do heat pumps provide the convenience of a combined cooling and heating unit, but these sophisticated systems offer some serious energy efficiency benefits as well. Most importantly for homeowners, these units are extremely low-maintenance, easy to install, and require minimal service or repair. To learn how our efficient new heat pumps can help you save big bucks, contact our Sussex County HVAC team now for a free estimate!

Ductless Mini-Split System Installation

As its name states, a ductless mini-split air conditioner system requires no ducts, unlike a central AC unit. This efficient type of air conditioner can go on the wall or ceiling in multiple areas, providing “zoned” cooling. Like with all systems, you can control the temperature through the thermostat, but with this type of system, you can monitor and change the temperature in a few rooms at once. You will be able to manage many spaces and achieve comfortable temperatures to your liking with a convenient and effective ductless split system!

Wall Unit Installation

These units also do not require ducts but have no wall-mounted thermostats to control temperatures like ductless systems do. Wall unit systems have manual controls and work well for new room additions. As their name suggests, they are typically wall mounted, but can sometimes be placed in other locations. Many modern wall unit models provide a cost-effective option for strict budgets while sharing many benefits of more expensive air conditioning systems. Our team can quickly and easily help you and your family with wall unit installation and offer competitive, affordable pricing for your new AC unit.

6 Signs It’s Time for a New AC Unit

What do heat pumps, central AC systems, and ductless AC systems have in common? Their limited lifespans. Unfortunately, no AC system can provide cooling power forever. And after an air conditioning unit has exceeded its service lifespan, it begins costing you more money than it’s worth to keep it alive.

Is it time to think about a new AC installation? There are several issues that your AC unit may develop that point to severe problems. Book service ASAP with our Sussex County residential air conditioning installation and replacement company if you notice any of the following danger signs:

  • Your unit is 15 years old or older, and it is increasingly hard to find compatible parts for repair.
  • Your AC system struggles to cool your home during the summer months or doesn’t blow cool air at all.
  • The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of your unit is below 13 (this indicates that your unit is inefficient). A modern new air conditioner will save you a significant amount of money on energy bills.
  • The cost of air conditioning service is becoming equivalent to the cost of purchasing a new unit or the cost to install a replacement.
  • During the spring or summer, you spend more money and time on AC repair or maintenance than you do enjoying a working AC unit.
  • You are tired of using a central air unit or depending on a portable AC unit. In this case, we can recommend other AC units that may or may not connect to your existing ductwork. Ductless split systems are particularly advantageous if you are interested in not having to install ducts or lug a portable unit around through multiple rooms of the house.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Should I repair or replace my air conditioning system?

If you’re trying to decide between air conditioner replacement or repairs, your best choice is to consult an established heating and air conditioning installation company in Sussex County. Most air conditioning units last 10 to 15 years, depending on annual routine maintenance checks and careful attention. One person’s central AC unit might last nine years while another person’s heat pump might last 16, so it’s important to speak with technicians about your options. We can help you discover the best options for your air conditioner and remove your old unit safely.

What is the average cost for air conditioning replacement?

Much like how we can’t provide you with a quote for repair or maintenance service until we actually see your HVAC unit, we cannot provide an “average cost” of replacing your air conditioning system either. All air conditioners are slightly different, therefore no two AC installation costs will be the same. Your AC system has its own quirks and qualities, and the price of air conditioner replacement will also depend on the type of new system you are interested in since some cooling systems are more expensive than others.

If you’d like a quote for replacing your air conditioner, contact our Sussex County HVAC company today. We can suggest models that suit your budget and keep your house comfortable,  and we stock a variety of high-efficiency systems that will reduce your energy bills. Just give us a call, and we’ll visit your home to provide you with information about the AC systems we offer, the approximate cost to install the HVAC system of your choice, and ways to keep your new system running for as long as possible.

Can I perform AC installation or repair myself?

If your air conditioner isn’t working properly, attempting DIY system repairs or maintenance to restore your system’s cooling capacity can be tempting. However, system repairs are more complex than you think. We know our customers love to save money, but replacing your system is a job best left to experts.

It is always better, safer, and more effective to leave air conditioning services to a company that specializes in them. Installing AC systems can be dangerous and expensive when done alone, and you will not have access to the same level of knowledge that licensed professionals do. Find the most up-to-date information, suggestions, and recommendations by hiring a trusted Sussex County air conditioning team to replace your HVAC unit.

It is not wise to replace or repair your AC unit yourself because:

  • It’s much easier than you think to make mistakes during the HVAC installation process — and often, these mistakes are costly ones. As a result, you may lose more money than if you hired expert technicians for service, or end up dealing with an uncomfortably hot home.
  • Performing HVAC repair or replacement takes time, strength, and energy you may not have. Installing AC units is a multi-person job that can be quite physically intense.
  • Cooling system repair or replacement requires parts and tools that are not available on the consumer market or are only available for a high price, meaning that DIY AC costs can mount quickly.
  • Without the personal protective equipment that technicians utilize, cooling system repair and replacement can be dangerous. Putting in a new AC system can expose you to gas lines, electrical components, circuit breakers, bulky overhanging ductwork, and other safety hazards.
  • DIY HVAC repairs or maintenance can result in decreased unit efficiency, costing you money and causing you headaches for many years to come.

Saving a few bucks up front on AC installation costs may seem appealing, but these and other drawbacks end up turning DIY into more of a burden than a benefit for almost all of the homeowners we’ve met. In summary, you should always leave HVAC system installation to the pros… trust us when we say you’ll be glad you did!

It was refreshing to find a local business that is both professional and customer service focused. Staff are very personable and get the job done quickly. No hard up-sell tricks during the service call... something that seems to be the norm with many other companies who force their service personel to try to generate extra income. We were impressed enough to switch all of our HVAC service contracts to Top Flight.

We had an issue that I believe was created by our previous service company, name starting with H. In that Top Flight had recently did a heater check up, they came to my home on a Sunday (when we were away) fixed the issue and did not charge us!!! Their actions saved our home from freezing pipes and that's why I'd give them 10 stars if I could.
