Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Portland, MI, home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our ESI Heating and Cooling professionals will install your cooling system without delay.
How do you know if you need a replacement air conditioner? Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:
- Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years
Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of acting reactively when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.
- Experiencing more and more repairs
Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.
- Showing signs of running inefficiently
How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.
This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Michigan home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.
If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our ESI Heating and Cooling team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.
We also offer several financing options to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.

“Terry, Randy and Tristin did our AC replacement today with efficiency and expertise. They were respectful of our home, did a fantastic job of explaining everything, and took every measure to ensure our new unit was running smoothly and correctly. Thank you ESI for your many years of service to our homes AC needs. We will recommend you to anyone and everyone and you have gained lifelong customers.”
“I just watched the boys that came to fix the air conditioner. They communicated with their boss several times by text message. Their punctuation was good and the message was to the point. There were no personal opinions or arguments offered. They followed instructions and reported back. They also did their own problem solving when they could. They were here quite a long time and I got a good look at how they worked together and how neither one took over or ignored the other. There was clearly a leader but he didn't take over the job and leave the other standing around. Because of their cooperation and clear communications with their boss, the problem was solved smoothly and everyone involved was satisfied.
The best team I have ever observed. I just had to tell somebody that could appreciate what I just witnessed. I'm sending this same message to their boss. He ought to know.”
“Awesome! The guys were prompt, prepared and finished the job leaving the area very clean. Patiently answered any and all questions we had. Proactively brought a thermostat we were considering but didn't think we would change, and we ultimately did. ESI was recommended to me, and I will definitely recommend them to others.”
“Justin and Terry did a great job and were extremely professional. We are very happy with our AC replacement.”
“Very professional, very courteous, very knowledgeable. Work very hard to assure we had a functional hvac system ASAP. I would highly recommend this company.”
“Justin and Terry were very knowledgeable about best practices for replacing my AC unit. They also took the time to replace some old valves that are no longer used in case I want to install a humidifier in the future.”
“Prompt, kind, & efficient. Answered all questions & showed us what needed to be done to maintain our system. We didn’t feel like we were just a number but more as a customer.”
“Explained and gave us options about our AC Unit. Gave his advice but didn’t pressure. Was polite and kind. Great worker!”
“Always on time! Always courteous and professional, always suggesting appropriate repair at the best price!”
