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 La Plata, MD, home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Wright Mechanical professionals will install your cooling system without delay.

How do you know if you need air conditioning installation service? 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 Maryland 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 Wright Mechanical 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, with approved credit, to help if desired. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.

  • Hearing an unusual noise

“There is nothing more distressing to a homeowner then to find that their furnace has stopped working in the dead of winter. I contacted Wright Mechanical Services, and their dispatcher was able to schedule a same-day service appointment. Jacob Garrison, HVAC Services Technician, was punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and personable. He took as much time as needed, an admirable work ethic in short supply nowadays. He visually inspected and then ran system diagnostics. He explained the inspection process, diagnostic test, and how it was able to isolate the problem to a specific component. The failed part was only available from the manufacturer. They made arrangements for next-day delivery, installed the new part, and my furnace was up and running. This is how building relationships with local businesses can pay off. I thank Wright Mechanical Services, and Jacob Garrison, HVAC Technician, for a job well done.”

“Let me start off by saying that the two techs, Alex and Ivan, were great. They were punctual, professional, and thorough. They updated me throughout the long process of removing my 20+ year old HVAC system and installation of the new one. They even took the time to install my new smart thermostat, help me configure it, and test it without additional cost. Speaking of cost, I solicited three other offers and Wright Mechanical was far and away the least expensive. Combine that with a great customer experience and you can't go wrong with Wright Mechanical.”

“We just bought our house not too long ago and the furnace gave out. We had a contractor who our insurance company sent out, look at it, and left us in a worse position (we had some sort of heat but they broke two components on the furnace leaving us with none).

We ended up going around our insurance company and we came across Wright Mechanical (WM), where I met Jacob G, a residential technician for WM, who not only looked at the furnace but educated me on what went wrong and walked me through the components.

After the consultation we did a bit more research with other contractors and decided to go with WM because of the customer service that Jacob provided and the reviews. They did not disappoint! Your home is your investment and it’s important to get the right people on the job who can do it right the first time.

They got the job done in 8 hours, big shout out to Jacob G, Nick, and Nick (that’s not a typo) for the new furnace and AC unit. I highly recommend them.”
