Imagine this: It's a sweltering summer day, and your air conditioner quits on you. If you live in Menomonee Falls, that's the last thing you need. We at Elite Heating and Cooling Milwaukee understand how frustrating and uncomfortable this can be. Sometimes, the problem isn't a complicated fix. It might just be a thermostat acting more like a diva than a team player. Or your filters might be begging for your attention. Oftentimes, a simple cleaning can breathe new life into your system, and keep the cold air coming.
But let’s plunge a little deeper. There are those elusive sounds, the ones that seem to resonate from the insides of your air conditioning unit. Rattling, buzzing, or even clanking has a way of making your cozy abode feel like an unwanted concert hall. Fear not, for we have seen more than our fair share of curious noises. A loose fan or worn-out motor could be behind this. When we step in, we do more than just stifle the ruckus; we restore the peace that you have in your home.
Sometimes, the problem is that the unit is just a bit too eager to do its job and racking up the electric bill in the process. You might see it working nonstop and producing very little in the way of results—like a runner who just can't seem to get up to speed. There could be several reasons for this, all of which have to do with the AC unit not working as efficiently as it should:
1. Low refrigerant levels.
2. A refrigerant leak.
3. Inadequate maintenance.
4. Inefficient AC design.
5. Airflow issues.
6. Improper installation.
7. Thermostat problems.
8. Other issues.
Addressing these will lighten the load on your energy costs and make your home feel comfortable again.
When your air conditioner chooses to go on the fritz on a broiling day, you need a repair service that can come to the rescue posthaste. Elite Heating and Cooling Milwaukee is that service. We're just around the corner, in Menomonee Falls, standing by to restore your American Standard air conditioning system—or any other brand—to good working order. At Elite, we take your comfort seriously, and our techs treat it as a straight-up emergency to get your system back online so you can sit back, chill out, and trust that you're in good hands.
Our adept technicians have seen all AC problems and fixed all AC problems. They are backed by years of experience and have likely identified the root cause of your cooling issues already. If you are left feeling confused on what went wrong with your AC, that is not the transparent and prideful service we stand for.

A surprise bill is the worst. When you work with Elite Heating and Cooling Milwaukee, what you see is what you get. We believe in clear pricing that says what the costs are before the work starts. That's the way it should be, right? And for us, it's not just about you getting a work order and then a bill with no conversation in between. It's about what kind of work you're getting for your money. That, in our world, is value. And what kind of company are we if we leave you with trust issues? You can pay us in installments for heaven's sake; we really don't want you overpaying.
We don't merely handle air conditioning systems; we tend to our clients, as well. If you happen to be in a situation where you're either experiencing an annoying little "bug" in your system or are dealing with a full-blown "catastrophe," the professionals in our office want to make sure you know we're inordinately focused on the "customer" part of "customer service." If there are any questions you have regarding what makes an AC system tick, or what kinds of failures are most likely to happen, or even why it seems like your system is working perfectly the day we arrive to examine it after you've told us to expect a kitchen appliance that is, at best, half-frozen, our office staff can and will help you.
Whether it's cheaper to fix an AC unit or put in a new one, depends on several things. How old is the unit? How often does it have problems? How much does this particular repair cost? And most importantly: how efficient is the unit compared to what you could get if you replaced it? 1. If it's 10 years or older (or even 5 years in some cases) and has already had multiple repairs, you might want to replace it. 2. If the unit is new, or seems new (like it does in the case of one unit that was only 5 years old but had serious problems), then repairs are usually a no-brainer and much cheaper. 3. Warranty considerations and potential rebates could also make a replacement more or less likely.
The cost to repair a cold air conditioner in Menomonee Falls can fluctuate depending on the exact nature of the problem and how difficult it is to remedy. By and large, small-time repairs, like mending a thermostat or a minor electrical gremlin, will set you back anywhere from $75 to $200. But if your air conditioner is in need of major surgery, like fixing an accessible refrigerant leak, troubleshooting a malfunctioning compressor, or replacing any number of major components, you might be looking at paying $200 to $750 or more, with a $500 repair not being unusual. It's smart to get a quote from a local HVAC technician to nail down an estimate based on your air conditioner's individual issue.
Usually, the off-peak seasons—spring and fall—are when you can find the most competitive prices on HVAC systems. Demand is at a lull, so manufacturers and installers are more willing to negotiate and offer discounts to move product. In fact, it's not uncommon to see systems going at quite sharp prices, especially when (as happens pretty regularly) installers want to fill their own schedules.
A person who mends air conditioners is called a repairman for air conditioners, an HVAC tech, or an air conditioning tech.
An AC unit's average life in Menomonee Falls ranges from 15 to 20 years. Yet, how long a unit actually lasts can depend on several things, like the kind of unit it is, how often it gets maintained, and the local climate. There's regular maintenance and there's regular maintenance. We're going to show you not only how to keep your AC happy but also how to keep it cool so that it lasts a long time.
The $5000 AC rule is a guideline used to help decide whether to repair or replace an air conditioning unit. To use the rule, take the age of the AC unit (in years), multiply it by the estimated cost of repairs (if any, that is, if it has broken down), and then compare that total with $5000. Generally, if the total is more than $5000, it's better to replace the unit than to repair it; otherwise, repair it. This rule may help you make decisions about your AC system, but be sure to also factor in things like your unit cost.
A new air conditioning unit for a 1500 sq ft home generally costs between $3,000 and $7,000 in Menomonee Falls. That price range includes the unit and installation. The final cost depends on things like the brand, the unit's SEER rating (which measures efficiency), and any extra features or upgrades you choose. Because there are so many variables, we recommend getting several quotes from local HVAC contractors before making a decision.
For a number of reasons, it is advisable to replace an air conditioning unit in Menomonee Falls after 20 years. First, advancements in technology mean that the new models we have today are much more energy-efficient than even the best AC models of 20 years ago, which lowers our utility bills. Second, a breaker unit is prone to breakdown, and when it does, finding parts for a unit that old can be a challenge. And if you can find those parts, they're likely to be quite expensive. Third, a new unit would have refrigerants that are much more environmentally friendly than those in a unit that is 20 years old. And fourth, if your AC unit is now quite 20 years old, and if it also requires quite a few repairs just to keep it running, the amount you've spent on those repairs (if you've kept up with those amounts) plus the cost of the new unit is either equal to or less than the amount you've spent on the repairs. Either way, break even, or else you're clearly ahead by then buying the new unit.
It is not inherently bad to leave an air conditioner on all day, provided the unit is in good working order and has been maintained properly. Nevertheless, doing so can ramp up energy consumption and boost utility bills to uncomfortable levels. Complementing an older AC with a unit that has a programmable thermostat, which you can set to accommodate the kind of wild weather we get in Menomonee Falls, is one way to counteract that lien on your wallet. Regular maintenance can likewise keep your system from working too hard and running up your bills while also sweating for you during the kind of heat wave we just came through.
In Menomonee Falls, the labor costs to install an AC unit can vary greatly depending on three main things: 1. The complexity of your installation. 2. Market rates in your locality. 3. Specific contractors you have in mind. On average, figure about $1,200 to $2,500 for the whole kit and caboodle (which usually entails removal of the old AC, thrusting the new one into its place, and any manner of duct/electrical work that might be required to make the whole system function as it should). But because anything is possible, you could also find yourself paying less to more than these numbers. So, to really suss out what you might be paying, it’s best to get glowing quotes from a handful of local HVAC pros.
