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!

Tyler from TopFlight was fantastic. He earned a new service subscription customer.A prior tech from Air Temp solutions left the previously working system disabled and not working. Their follow up tech quoted $1,250 for a new thermostat and thermostatic board. Needless to say I searched for another company.Tyler diagnosed a simple but easily overlooked problem. The system was restored with only a service call.Big call out to Tyler and Top Flight!

Isaiah was my technician who performed a routine AC checkup. He was professional, knowledgeable, and polite. I was impressed with the service so I signed up for the annual plan and have high expectations if I ever run into any issues. Top flight was recommended by a friend who had issues and used several companies that couldn’t fix the problem before finding Topflight that did fix the problem.

We had Top Flight install a new HVAC system. Isaiah and Tyler were great at the installation. They cleaned up after the job which was nice. The plus is the system is nice and quiet compared to our old system and the balancing they did reduced the temperature extremes in our upstairs vs downstairs.

Very professional and explained everything. I love the fact that they gave me different quotes and I did not feel like they were just trying to get money from me. Our house is only 4 years old and have had nothing but problems with the company that put the system in the house. I FINALLY have peace of mind knowing it was done right. I also really liked the yearly maintenance contract and it was not a crazy amout of money. Thank you for your trained technicians.

The other day, when temperatures were in the teens, I woke up to 54 degrees in my house. I went on line to look up HVAC services and saw that Top Flight had many excellent reviews. So I called them. A couple of hours later, Isaiah and Tyler came to my house. I have to say that it was one of the best experiences, if not the best, that I have ever had with a contractor or service person. They were here all day. Isaiah explained everything to me in detail and encouraged me to ask questions. He was so patient and so nice. Of course, they fixed the problem and gave me some good advice. He was very professional but easy going and well-informed. Also, the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this company.

We were going through a total nightmare trying to find a company to fix our HVAC system. We tried 3 different companies that took our money and left us with a system that would stop working within a month after they said it was fixed. Top flight found the problem the 1st time they looked at it. It's now been running for almost a year with no problems. Isiah and this company are the best. We highly recommend them. Thank you Top Flight.

As new customers with Top Flight, we were visited by Ryan for an initial system inspection and a review of the various customer programs that Top Flight offered.While Ryan's extensive experience and knowledge of our HVAC system were clearly evident, his ability to explain and demonstrate issues or items in normal, understandable ways impressed us the most as a new customer.Top Flight's office staff has been equally helpful. Christina, in particular, has been exceptionally helpful with all our new customer setups and arrangements.We highly recommend that Top Flight be included in anyone's short-list of an Honest and Polite Customer-Focused service from a well-established local firm.

Average. (I don't give extra stars to companies who demonstrate basic professionalism in being on time or having reasonable customer service). This company is VERY EXPENSIVE! They offer a discount to customers to "become members," which makes their service (which includes way more service than I want or need) appear cheaper by charging smaller monthly payments which add up to much more over a year than others charge for 2 annual maintenance checks. ($420/year for an 1800 sf house, compared to $180/year for the same sized house in Maryland.) This monthly payment plan makes it very difficult to track what service is already paid for and what is being prepaid. Thus they have pioneered a way to keep their hand in your wallet for months after the service has already been provided. No thanks. I don't buy it. They did allow me to cancel -which is apparently unusual for them- although they did not provide a refund for payments I made already for service that I won't get.

What can I say.....BEST HVAC COMPANY EVER! Since moving to this area I have be unable to find a company to actually listen to me and do proper work. Upon a recommendation from a friend I tried this company out and I was not disappointed. Ryan was extremely professional in diagnosing and fixing my issue. He made the whole process easy and as painless as possible. He gave me many options on new systems and even informed me on state and federal rebates in our area. Isaiah is an excellent technician who loves this work and really did an amazing job. He is also by far the most polite server provider I've ever had in my house period. Taylor rounded out this trio and made this an amazing experience. I'd recommend this company to anyone who doesn't want to be pressured by pushy sales people, "know it all" technicians, and "I know better than you" owners.

One of the only companies in the county you can trust to do a honest job in the hvac industry. I had three companies out to try and fix my issue and they either failed to diagnose it properly or lied and said it was an expensive repair in order to upsell a brand new unit. Isaiah quickly identified a bare wire shorting out against a copper pipe in the fan unit and fixed it charging me the proper amount for the service . He is a young smart and determined technician, but most of all he is honest.

In a nutshell, this company is fantastic!If you're still reading I'm going to elaborate on just why that is. We opened a new small business here in Lewes, DE and when we went seeking a local company to take care of our system they came highly recommended. Ryan reached out to me directly on Facebook to introduce himself and the team. Vey quickly he set me up with Taylor who got the ball rolling. She listened to what we were looking for and sent Mike out to have a look. He was professional and knowledgable in his diagnosis of our newly installed system. For no charge they told me what needed to be repaired and we set a day to do so. Mike and Josh came back (sooner than the appointment time I might add) and did a thorough job gettin our system up and running. Ryan and I talked again about the work and he gave us a very fair price.I am now a subscribing customer and intend to be so long as we are doing business here. I have nothing but great things to say about the entire experience and strongly recommend this team to any business in the state!
