Proudly Serving the Coastal Empire & the Lowcountry
As they age, air conditioners will experience normal wear and tear that can lead to decreased efficiency and more frequent breakdowns. Unfortunately, repairs aren’t always enough to restore adequate cooling to your home. Once your AC needs frequent or expensive repairs, it’s best to replace it with a modern, energy-efficient unit.
Canady’s Heating, Air & Plumbing provides hassle-free air conditioning installation and replacement in Savannah, Beaufort, and surrounding areas. Our team of NATE-certified and background-checked technicians can help you select the best system for your cooling needs.

Signs You Need a New AC
It’s important to replace your air conditioner before your system fails completely. Otherwise, you risk being without a working AC for an extended period, rushing your decision on a new cooling unit, or not budgeting for your replacement.
Watch out for these signs that a replacement is a better solution than AC repairs:
- Your system is over 10 years old: You can expect your air conditioner to last 10 to 15 years with routine maintenance.
- AC repairs cost over 50% of the cost to replace the system: At that point, you benefit more from putting that money toward the cost of a new system.
- Your system needs frequent repairs: No one wants recurring cooling issues. A new system will operate reliably, so you won’t need service as often.
- Your cooling costs are too high: If your energy costs have increased over the years, a new, energy-efficient system will reduce your monthly costs.
AC Installation & Replacement
When it’s time to replace or upgrade your air conditioning system, Canady’s offers expert solutions tailored to your home’s unique cooling needs. We install and replace:
- Central air conditioners: These are ideal for cooling an entire home and provide consistent comfort. They’re the most common cooling option and must be paired with a furnace for year-round comfort.
- Ductless mini-splits: These are made to cool individual rooms or zones without ductwork. They’re highly energy-efficient and are ideal for additions, renovations, or homes without ducts. Some models also offer heating capabilities.
- Heat pumps: These offer both cooling and heating for year-round comfort. They’re highly energy-efficient and cost-effective.
Whether you need a straightforward replacement or a complete redesign with new ductwork and thermostats, we’re here to help.
How to Choose the Right Air Conditioner for Your Home
Our knowledgeable technicians will work with you to determine which air conditioner is right for you. We’ll consider these factors:
- System efficiency: Energy efficiency is measured by your unit’s SEER. A higher rating indicates greater efficiency.
- Home size: Your system should be properly sized to suit your home’s square footage and layout.
- Sound: Consider where your AC will be installed when determining if you can handle a louder or quieter system.
- Price: Cost will obviously be a big factor in which system you choose. Our team can help you get the best system within your budget.

Investing in a new air conditioner is a big decision, but doing so has many benefits:

Frequently Asked Questions
Will an oversized air conditioner keep my home cooler?
An oversized system will cool your home quickly, which will cause the unit to short-cycle, draw excess energy, and strain key components. This is bad for the longevity of your AC and will also run up your utility bills.
What are SEER ratings?
SEER stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio. This is the metric used to measure cooling efficiency for air conditioners, ductless mini-splits, and heat pumps. Any air conditioner manufactured after Jan. 1, 2023, must have a SEER2 rating of 14.3 or higher.
How can I prevent premature AC replacement?
The best way to maximize the lifespan of your cooling system is to schedule annual air conditioning maintenance each spring.
Preventative service will prepare your system for summer and address any small issues before they become larger problems that impact your comfort.
How long does AC installation typically take?
Most standard AC replacements can be completed within one day, especially if the new system is similar to the existing one. If you’re switching systems, it may take a few days to finish installation and make any necessary electrical or structural adjustments.
Do I need to be home during the AC replacement process?
It’s ideal for the homeowner to be present during the installation to review system placement and address any questions. However, most of the work can be completed without supervision as long as our technicians have access to the necessary areas.
Will replacing my AC damage any part of my home?
AC replacement is typically a non-invasive process, especially when replacing a similar system. Our team takes care to protect your walls, flooring, and landscaping.
