Air Conditioning Installation in Lake Oswego, OR

Is your current AC system not keeping up anymore? While repairs are often a viable solution, there comes a point where air conditioner replacement just makes more sense.

Here are a few signs it may be time to replace your system:

• Your system is 10 to 15 years old or older
• Frequent breakdowns or recurring AC repairs
• Poor airflow or inconsistent cooling
• Rising energy costs without increased usage
• Outdated refrigerant (such as R-22)
• Lack of modern features like zoning or smart controls

Upgrading to a new cooling system can significantly improve your home’s comfort while reducing long-term energy usage. Many newer systems have higher SEER ratings (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), which translates to real savings on your utility bills.

Sunset provides free estimates for all air conditioning replacement services, so you can compare costs and features before making a decision.

Our HVAC services include a full range of modern AC options for every type of home in the Lake Oswego area:

• Central Air Conditioners: Traditional ducted AC systems provide whole-home comfort with smart thermostat compatibility and zoning options.
• Ductless Mini-Splits: Perfect for homes without ductwork, additions, or single-room applications. These systems offer zone-based cooling, high efficiency, and compact design.
• Heat Pumps: A great all-in-one solution for both heating and cooling. Especially effective in moderate climates like Oregon’s.
• High-SEER Systems: Ultra-efficient systems that provide better temperature control with lower energy consumption.

Wondering if an AC upgrade is really worth it? Here are just some of the benefits Lake Oswego homeowners enjoy after installing a new system with Sunset:

• Lower Energy Bills: Modern AC units are designed for energy efficiency, helping reduce your monthly utility costs.
• Improved Indoor Comfort: No more hot spots, cold drafts, or noisy operation. New systems provide quiet, balanced, and consistent cooling.
• Better Air Quality: Advanced filters, humidity controls, and proper filtration help improve indoor air quality and remove airborne contaminants.
• Smart Thermostat Compatibility: Take control of your cooling with mobile apps, voice commands, and automated scheduling.
• Increased Home Value: Upgrading your air conditioning system is a smart investment that adds to your home’s appeal and resale value.
• Eco-Friendly Performance: Today’s high-efficiency systems use environmentally safer refrigerants and meet strict Environmental Protection Agency guidelines.

Most air conditioning installations can be completed in a single day, depending on the size and complexity of the job. Replacements typically move quicker than new installations that require ductwork or electrical upgrades.

Choosing the right air conditioning system isn’t just about picking the biggest or most expensive unit—it’s about finding a system that matches your home’s unique needs for comfort, efficiency, and reliability.

Our technicians start by performing a detailed load calculation, taking into account your home’s square footage, layout, insulation levels, number of windows, and sun exposure. But that’s just the beginning.

Here are a few additional factors to consider when selecting your new AC system:

• Energy Efficiency: Look for systems with high SEER ratings (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) for lower energy costs over time.
• Ductwork Compatibility: If your home lacks ductwork—or if it’s older or leaky—a ductless mini-split system may be the better fit.
• Zoning Capabilities: Want different temperatures in different areas? Consider systems that support zoned cooling.
• Smart Features: Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats, remote access, and voice control can add convenience and enhance system efficiency.
• Noise Level: Some systems are designed for whisper-quiet operation—ideal for bedrooms or home offices.
• Budget and Long-Term Costs: Evaluate not only the upfront price, but also expected maintenance, repair costs, and energy savings over the system’s lifetime.

Yes! Many homeowners opt to add ductless mini-split units in areas not served well by their current ducted system, such as sunrooms, basements, or converted garages. You can combine both for a hybrid approach.
