Why Replacement Timing Matters in Davis
Thousands of Davis homes have AC units from the 2000s and 2010s on R410A, which gets pricier to recharge each year. A replacement before a summer failure avoids a week of heat waiting for a unit.
Heat wave rush
When 100 degree days arrive, installers book up, and waiting can mean days without cooling.
Rising refrigerant cost
Each recharge on an old R410A unit costs more than the last.
Late heat
Davis has hit 100°F as late as October 11, so there is no safe season to go without AC.
Repair spiral
An old unit that needs a repair every summer costs more than a new one over five years.
