Why Invest in a New AC System?
Upgrading to a new air conditioning system comes with numerous benefits:
- Improved Energy Efficiency: Modern AC units are designed to be more energy-efficient, which can lower your utility bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
- Enhanced Comfort: New systems offer better temperature control, airflow, and advanced features like programmable thermostats.
- Increased Reliability: A new AC unit is less likely to break down, providing reliable cooling throughout the summer.
- Higher Home Value: An upgraded HVAC system can increase the value of your home, making it a smart investment.
Assessing Your Cooling Needs
Before selecting a new AC system, assessing your cooling needs is important. Consider the following factors:
- Home Size: The size of your home will determine the capacity of the AC unit you need. Larger homes require more powerful systems.
- Insulation: Well-insulated homes retain cool air better, which can affect the size and type of system needed.
- Climate: The local climate plays a significant role in determining your cooling needs. Hotter regions may require more robust systems.
- Budget: Consider your budget for the initial investment and long-term operating costs.
- Features: Decide which features are important, such as energy efficiency ratings, smart thermostats, or advanced filtration systems.
Types of AC Systems
There are several types of air conditioning systems to choose from, each with its advantages:
- Central Air Conditioning: Ideal for cooling large homes, central AC systems use a network of ducts to distribute cool air throughout the house.
- Ductless Mini-Split Systems: Perfect for homes without ductwork, these systems consist of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor units that can be individually controlled.
- Portable AC Units: These movable units can be used in different rooms as needed and are a good choice for temporary cooling.
- Hybrid Systems: Combining a heat pump with a gas furnace, hybrid systems offer energy-efficient cooling and heating.
Choosing the Right AC System
Selecting the right AC system involves considering several key factors:
- Energy Efficiency: You should look for units that have a high SEER rating, which stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio. More is the case when the SEER is more efficient the system.
- Capacity: The system should be appropriately sized for your home. An undersized unit will need help when it comes to cooling your home, a unit that is too large will cycle on and off frequently, which will result in energy waste.
- Installation Requirements: Some systems, like central AC require extensive installation, including ductwork. Ductless systems are easier to install but may be more expensive initially.
- Noise Levels: Consider the unit’s noise level, especially if it will be installed near living areas or bedrooms.
- Warranty: Check the details to ensure you’re covered for future repairs or maintenance.

Post-Installation Tips
After your new AC system is installed, there are a few steps you can take to guarantee that it will continue to function well and for many years to come:
- Regular Maintenance: Schedule annual maintenance with Horne Heating and Air Conditioning Inc. to keep your system running smoothly. This includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting components.
- Change Air Filters: Replace air filters every 1-3 months to maintain good airflow and indoor air quality.
- Monitor Energy Usage: Be sure to keep an eye on your billing for electricity. A sudden increase could indicate an issue with your system.

They have always provided quality service and support.On this latest new heat pump and air handler system thefollowing Horne Employees were involved.Ernie R. was our salesperson and gave us estimates on severaloptions for our replacement system. He came to the house andinspected the old system and provided us with detailed information regarding the system options and cost. He also spent time answering all our questions. Ernie was very knowledgeable and professional. He did everything he could to accommodate our needs for the replacement system.It was a pleasure working with Ernie.As always, this experience with Horne HVAC was a pleasure. Thanks for being our HVAC company for more than 20 years.
Johnathan was thorough, courteous and very professional. I have always had excellent service from Horne Heating & Air. I’ve been doing business with this family owned business for 12 years.
Wonderful service that is timely and valuable- won’t use anyone else!
Nick and Jose replaced 2 old ac units at my home. They were prompt, professional, friendly, knowledgeable and neat. Good job!!! Horne is my go to business for HVAC needs.
Tony was excellent. He helped in explaining the whole house system and how to best design our comfort settings. He gave us great options for maintenance and updates for our system. We enjoyed the whole process and are happy with his service.
Andrew was extremely thorough, took many pictures and videos and reviewed the checkup steps with me. Even though some additional work is needed it was nice to actually understand the reasons why and the proof to back up the work needed. He also shared some previous work that was completed by the vendor used before I switched to Horne that was done incorrectly and frankly I’m not surprised. That vendor was just terrible and so glad I switched. A few days later, parts received earlier that expected. Andrew returned today and all is good. It was really nice to have the same technician return to complete the repairs. Thank you.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing top-notch service from Colby Horne! My heat went out and I was frustrated but Colby was friendly, attentive, and very efficient. I appreciated his meticulous approach in diagnosing the real cause of the issue. Tony was also very professional and knowledgeable.They got everything fixed up and I’m back to relaxing!Overall great experience and highly recommend!
Horne heating and air has always taken care of us. They make you feel like you are the only customer they have.Their Technician Billy Cole was here tonight to service our unit. He was amazing and very friendly. He is one of the best, you could he tell he cared about our needs and kept me informed about everything during the service.Thanks again Horne Team
We had a fantastic experience with Horne! We purchased a home knowing the furnace (from 1982!) would need to be replaced pretty immediately. Our initial consultation with Nick was incredibly helpful. As first time home buyers he was patient and explained every detail to us and even pointed out things that didn’t need to be replaced immediately so we definitely did not feel like we were being sold to or pushed. Our installers Alex and Nick arrived on time, had the furnace installed within half a day and were courteous and respectful of our space and super accommodating on limiting disruptions considering my husband works from home. Even the reception staff I spoke to were kind and helpful and were super responsive and easy to communicate with via text or phone. We will absolutely continue using Horne for our HVAC needs. As first time home buyers it can be overwhelming trying to know what is the right and wrong call for big purchases, and honestly what some of the maintenance needs even are, so we are thrilled with the experience we had and would absolutely recommend them to anyone!
