Upgrade and Save on Your Air Conditioner
How long have you owned your air conditioning unit? If you bought it more than 10 years ago, consider an upgrade. HVAC technology has become much more efficient since you bought your last air conditioner. Upgrading to a new model could cut your energy costs by up to 40 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
How Do Air Conditioners Work?
Your air conditioner does not add cold air to your home—it removes heat. In simple terms, the equipment harvests warmth and humidity from the air and sends it outside. From there, fans blow the leftover chilled air through your ductwork and into your living space.
Your air conditioning unit has four main components:
- Evaporator coil
- Compressor
- Expansion valve
- Condenser
Your air conditioner uses a chemical called refrigerant to absorb heat. You may be familiar with Freon, the most common name brand of refrigerants.
Here’s how the cooling cycle works:
- The evaporator coil extracts heat from inside your home. The refrigerant soaks up the heat.
- The compressor puts pressure on the refrigerant.
- The condenser releases the heat outdoors.
- The expansion valve regulates the refrigerant’s flow back to the evaporator.
Air Conditioner Installation and Replacement
Should you get a new air conditioner or keep the old one? As a homeowner, you’ll have to answer that question at some point—and it’s not always an easy decision. On average, cooling units last 10 to 15 years with good maintenance.
Besides age, here are some signs it’s time to get a new AC:
- High energy or repair costs
- High humidity levels
- Insufficient cooling
Like an old car that you have to keep taking to the shop, an air conditioner that frequently breaks down is likely ready for retirement. Repair costs add up quickly. At some point, it may be more cost-effective to upgrade.
Our team at Bay Breeze Heating and Cooling will work closely with you to find a cooling solution that fits your home and budget. With the finest equipment and a team of qualified HVAC experts, we’re ready to deliver a product that exceeds your expectations.

What Is a Good SEER Rating?
The term SEER stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio. It measures how much energy your air conditioning system uses to operate. The higher the SEER number, the more efficiently your air conditioner will run.
How Much Money Can a New Air Conditioner Save You?
Our SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) energy savings calculator can help determine how much you could save on your utility bills. Simply enter your current unit’s SEER value and compare it to a newer, more efficient SEER2 unit. You can even customize it to better match your home’s system for a more accurate calculation.

The install team was also great showed up on time very polite and neat. The complete install was done quickly and is working great. A big thank you to the entire team at Bat Breeze!”
“Dylan arrived on time and was pleasant and efficient. His diagnosis was accurate. It took about 8-9 days from contact to completion of the job, but given the weather there was no hurry and the timing was in part due to my schedule. The job was completed without difficulty and all appears functional. I give 4 rather than 5 stars because my credit card was requested for a 50% deposit before parts were ordered. However, when the job was done I was told the card hadn’t been charged and I owed 100%. I could cover this, but in less fortunate circumstances or with different cash flow this might have been awkward. I understand why you would want a deposit if you are ordering expensive parts, but in future it would be best not to imply that the charge would be made unless you actually do so.”
“Justin was excellent performing periodic maintenance on our AC and Heat Pump units. He’s has maintained these systems for a long time very effectively. An excellent representative of your company.”
“Very prompt and excellent service. Dylan is polite and very good!”
“Always timely, professional, honest, friendly and excellent communication with texting prior to the appointment and providing a picture of the technician!”
“Mom’s air conditioning unit was leaking water. I called Bay Breeze to get it fixed. Within the hour Justin called to come by to fix it. He not only found the cause of the water leak he also replaced the old PVC drain pipe with new and created a better route for drainage. Excellent job!”
“Dylan arrived early and was superb in every respect:professional knowledge, kind, efficient , and helpful.
This is the second time Dylan has done our fall or spring system heat and air conditioning checkup and maintenance. We highly recommend him and look forward to and appreciate his service!!”
“Kevin & Dylan came out same day I called. Gracious, polite & fixed the issue super-fast. Also explained why the problem occurred.
Further, they recommended additional services my units may need soon, but told me to wait to see as they weren't critical right now. Not pushy or upselling at all. And they installed my new thermostat while here.
Their service was so good, I already scheduled my seasonal tune-up with them for next Spring. I've been looking for a new HVAC company to be my go-to for almost 2 years now. A neighbor recommended Bay Breeze & I am grateful they did. Excellent service! Absolutely using again for all my HVAC neededs in the years to come.
Thanks again, Kevin & Dylan!”
