Picture this: a sweltering summer day, the thick air surrounding you, and your living space resembling a sauna. You find yourself wrestling with a dusty old air conditioner that has decided to give up halfway through the race against the heat. And then—and here's where the ordeal turns comical—you remember that you've called Elite Heating and Cooling Milwaukee not to fix the unit but instead to replace it. And under those circumstances, what would seem like a luxury service suddenly becomes an absolute necessity. Now, you don't have to picture it, because Elite Heating and Cooling can make this situation no longer your reality.
Our customers frequently tell us their foremost priority is finding a solution that fits their exceptional circumstance. They want someone who pays attention to their issues, who makes options abundantly clear, and who works at lightning speed to return
comfort to their lives. We get it. We’re committed to a deliberate and, yes, sometimes meandering approach that’s funny at times but always leads to a punchline that’s anything but: a new air conditioning system. Listening leads us there. It’s what your team here does when
it’s dispatched to attend to your calls for help. More than yakety-yak, and less in a Federal Express fashion, your team hears you and helps restore your condition, comfort-wise, to a cool level.
At times, an air conditioner replacement seems to loom large on the horizon. A new model must be chosen and the installation thought out if it is to go smoothly. And then there are costs, which all too often appear to come from the dungeons of hell.
But never fear: Elite Heating and Cooling Milwaukee is here. Our well-trained staff brings reason and a touch of warmth to the way they handle their work. They make it seem like a new installation is never a big deal—something that is indeed true when the qualifiers of "smoothly" and "satisfaction guaranteed" are added.

Changing out an AC isn't just about yanking one hunk of metal out of the wall and throwing another in its place. At Elite Heating and Cooling Milwaukee, we view it as a pathway toward comfort and peace of mind. We listen to what you need and make sure what we provide aligns perfectly with the way you live. Who wants the stress of dealing with not just an old system but a barely held-together one? Our job is to help throw in the towel on that frustration. And help you find delight again. It's not even about just throwing in a new system, because who wants that? It's about finding the unit that fits perfectly into your world.
In our view, you shouldn't have to change your life to accommodate a new appliance. We take a holistic view and think about the nitty-gritty details that make up your world—like how your kids love to hang out in the basement or where your favorite reading nook is. All these little things are taken into account to figure out what kind of AC is right for you.
We consider lots of factors in making that determination. We think a lot about energy efficiency. We consider your home's layout. We even think about how the weather can be (and often is) completely unpredictable in Milwaukee. The way we see it, those are all little parts that make up the whole of a system that has to work well for you and in your home.
Now, let's discuss the individuals responsible for the processes. Our team is a mix of engineers and technicians, along with a couple of happy-go-lucky folks who live and breathe the business of home performance. We've shared a laugh or two, and even the occasional pizza, during a late-night, work-with-a-drumroll brainstorming session. It's this camaraderie that translates to a team that looks forward to our service life—almost to a fault—when you door-knock us. When they show up at your place, it's not all business to them. Oh, sure, they'll check in and get started with plenty of time to spare before they seem to get to the good stuff, the deep work with the house. But you've also got a team that knows: 1. to take plenty of time to explain what's about to happen; 2. it helps to be clear and not crazy with the steps to get there; and 3. connecting with you in this space is way more important than making a perfectly paid-off van look good in the driveway.
Contact us by phone or online to schedule your HVAC service. Our licensed technicians arrive on time, assess your system, and explain the issue clearly—no guesswork or hidden fees. We treat your home with respect from the moment we step in.
We walk you through your best options based on your budget, comfort needs, and long-term goals. Whether it’s a quick repair, full replacement, or preventive maintenance, we tailor every solution to fit your home. You’ll always understand what’s being done and why.
Once approved, we get to work using trusted tools and proven techniques. We complete the job efficiently and leave your space clean—backed by quality workmanship and ongoing support. Your comfort and satisfaction are always our priority.
It's possible that your old air conditioner has accepted that its best days are behind it and only feebly puts out a stream of cool air. It may be an air conditioner that finishes its work with a sigh, not a bang, and only does its job while you're partially paying attention, because when you are fully paying attention, it shouldn't be making any noise that a well-functioning air conditioner doesn't make. When you are fully paying attention, however, is another question altogether.
Have you ever worn shoes that didn't fit? They were either too tight or too loose, making each step feel uncomfortable. Now imagine your home's climate trying to do the same. It just doesn't work—like our beloved air conditioners when they're past their prime. With our approach to AC replacement, we're like those fairy tale cobblers, making sure the new unit fits your home's unique climate. We look at the square footage of your room, the relative humidity of your environment, and even those cozy corners where cool air struggles to reach. It's about finding the right match, like finally meeting your favorite song on a playlist shuffle after hearing a lot of tunes that just didn’t click.
Imagine the intense heat trying to force your icy treat into a puddle of sugary goodness. Now, that is torture! Or at least we've made it feel like a version of torture in our efforts to get your summers to stop chasing you with a heat stroke. We know using the right AC unit makes all the difference when it comes to cabin pressure and the cabin of your favorite chair in the house being comfortable enough to plop into in the summer. We're finding just the right touch in scheduling your enjoyment of an at-home summer under the cool kind of conditions just as you did with summer tunefulness. You may use our service for regular maintenance of your air conditioner or to replace a unit that has flatlined.
Our installation is that quick, and our installation team is that good. To that end, we empower every member of our installation crew with extensive training that arms them with the skills and knowledge they need to perform every job right and to do it well. And as a result, you can come home to a paradise solved of oppressive heat—and that peace of mind starts with us. --------------------------------------- From training to installation, we are committed to quality.

The average price for an air conditioning system replacement in the Milwaukee area hovers around $5,300; our experience with many customers has revealed this typical price. The price range that we see for A.C. installations in general (not just for Milwaukee) is between $3,500 and $7,500. Most of the factors affecting price (e.g., unit size, installation complexity) affect the Milwaukee market just like anywhere else.
The HVAC $5000 Rule is a guideline that helps HVAC system owners in deciding whether to fix or to ditch a broken air conditioning system. It's pretty simple. You take the age of the A/C unit, multiply that by the estimated repair cost, and if it adds up to more than $5000, you might as well bite the bullet and replace the system instead of trying to keep it limping along.
For a 2000 square-foot house in Milwaukee, the cost of replacing an AC unit can run anywhere from $3,000 to $7,000—including installation. This price ranges based on the brand, efficiency rating, and any extra features, like programmability, that the unit might have. On top of that, a number of other factors can push the total up or down: labor costs; installation complexity; and any needed updates to existing ductwork or electrical systems.
Yes, you should think about swapping out an air conditioning unit that is 20 years old. At that age, the unit probably isn't working anywhere near as well as newer, more efficient models. You're more likely to be experiencing frequent repairs and—given the lifetime of your unit—using a refrigerant, or several, that just doesn't meet today's environmental standards. And we shouldn't ignore the cost savings: Utility bills for a new unit can be significantly lower than for an old one, and even the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act might cover some of the costs for going with a new one.
In Milwaukee, the price of a new air conditioning unit for a 1,500-square-foot home may fluctuate based on such things as the make and model of the unit, its efficiency rating, and how complicated the installation is. All told, the typical price range from local HVAC contractors for such a job is between $3,500 and $7,000, with installation included. Highefficiency models tend to be available at the upper end of that spectrum, while models with extra features could push the price even higher. All in all, it is a good idea to get a few quotes to figure out the what and the how much of local air conditioner installation.
In Milwaukee, AC unit replacement can be a pricey affair, and several factors contribute to this. One factor is the cost of the new unit, which can vary significantly not just between different brands but also with different models from the same brand. Size and efficiency, of course, are the two big things that determine how much an AC unit costs, but even among similarly sized and efficient units, installation costs also can have a big impact on how much paying the HVAC professional for the service will hit the wallet. If those helping to install the unit aren't up to the job, not only could this result in an improperly functioning unit but also in a situation where even more money has to be shelled out because now two jobs have to be done: fixing what was done wrong and ensuring that what is now being done is being done right.
In Milwaukee, the most affordable time to install a new HVAC system is generally during spring or fall. Demand for HVAC services during those months is lower than in the peak summer and winter months when people need their systems to work at full capacity. That leads to more competitive pricing and, often, quicker installation times.
Typically, homeowners insurance covers HVAC systems if the damage results from a peril that's covered by the policy, such as fire, lightning, or vandalism. However, it usually does not extend to damage caused by the system's natural aging process or any lack of maintenance that the homeowner might be guilty of. That's a kind of wear and tear that, as far as the insurance company is concerned, the homeowner has paid for with the premiums and should be responsible for without recourse to the insurance.
Certainly, you can swap out just the outside AC unit, but it may not be the best course of action in every instance. For both performance and efficiency, it's ideal for the indoor and outdoor components to be matched, not only in terms of features but also in terms of efficiency ratings. If you mismatched these two vital components, the resulting energy efficiency could suffer, and you could wind up with a system that isn't comfortable—and that wears out far more quickly than it should. To ensure that you can pair an outdoor unit with an existing indoor unit—and to discuss whether simply replacing the outdoor unit is a good option, period—talk with a pro HVAC tech in Milwaukee.
Costco offers HVAC services, such as AC replacement; but these services are performed by local HVAC contractors, not Costco employees. To take advantage of this not-well-publicized Costco membership benefit, members need to arrange for a consultation and receive a quote for the service they require. This is probably the least inconvenient way to replace an air conditioning unit and a nice benefit for Costco members who need to make this (often) urgent home repair.
