At DiBacco Plumbing, we install a range of air conditioning systems, including central air, ductless mini-split systems, and heat pumps. We’ll help you choose the best option based on your home’s layout, your budget, and your cooling needs.

Signs that you may need a new system include:

• Your AC is more than 10–15 years old.
• You’ve noticed increased energy bills without higher usage.
• The system frequently needs repairs.
• It no longer cools your home effectively or evenly.
• The unit uses R-22 refrigerant, which is being phased out.

Most air conditioning installations can be completed in a single day, depending on the complexity of the system. We’ll provide a clear timeline during the consultation, so you’ll know what to expect.

Ductless mini-splits offer several advantages, including:

• Energy efficiency: They only cool the rooms you need.
• Quiet operation: Mini-splits are quieter than traditional AC units.
• Zone control: You can set different temperatures for different rooms.
• Easy installation: They don’t require ductwork, making them ideal for older homes or additions.

We recommend scheduling professional air conditioning maintenance once a year, ideally in the spring before peak cooling season. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, improves energy efficiency, and extends the lifespan of your system.

During our maintenance visits, we:

• Clean and inspect the system components.
• Check refrigerant levels and inspect for leaks.
• Test the thermostat and controls.
• Replace air filters as needed.
• Inspect electrical connections and tighten them if necessary.
• Ensure the unit is running efficiently.

Yes! Regular maintenance ensures your system operates at peak efficiency, lowering energy costs. It also helps catch minor issues before they become major, costly repairs, extending the lifespan of your unit and avoiding premature replacement.

If your air conditioner stops working, try these steps before calling a professional:

• Check your thermostat settings.
• Make sure the unit is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped.
• Replace or clean the air filter if it’s clogged.
• Check if the outdoor unit is clear of debris. If these don’t resolve the issue, contact DiBacco Plumbing for a professional assessment.

There are several ways to improve your AC’s efficiency:

• Schedule regular maintenance.
• Use a programmable thermostat to avoid cooling an empty home.
• Seal windows and doors to prevent cool air from escaping.
• Replace your air filter regularly.
• Ensure proper insulation in your home.

With regular maintenance, most air conditioning systems last between 10 and 15 years. Ductless mini-split systems can last even longer, up to 20 years, with proper care.

Yes, we offer emergency AC repair services. If your air conditioner breaks down unexpectedly, especially during a heatwave, you can count on DiBacco Plumbing to provide fast, reliable repairs.

If your air conditioner is more than 10–12 years old and requires frequent repairs, it’s often more cost-effective to replace it. A new, energy-efficient system can save you money on repairs and lower your utility bills over time.

The size of your AC unit depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, and other factors. During your consultation, we’ll assess your home and recommend the appropriately sized system to ensure efficient cooling.
