New Central Air Conditioning Systems

Replacing your AC unit and installing a new one is all about the right fit!

🏡AC Unit Size Matters. The new AC system you replace or install must be the perfect fit. It is too small, and you won’t have enough air pumped through your home efficiently enough, which causes the system to wear down over time. Too big of a new AC unit, and you will pay more in your utility bills!

➡️ Questions Answered. We will answer every question you have about your new air conditioning unit, and it is our promise to you that you will understand what your scope of work is, how much it will cost, and what results you can expect! We get it; purchasing a new air conditioning system can be expensive, so we do our best to help!

❌ No catches. Some repair calls become new systems, and some new HVAC system installations become routine services. As a locally owned and operated business, we offer a hassle-free customer service experience! You can EXPECT our install team to be respectful, professional, neat, and organized!

What are the signs it is time for a New Air Conditioner?

We’re here to help you navigate the increasingly complicated process of selecting a new AC unit! Like everything in life, there are usually signs when we need to replace our Air Conditioners in Boise!

Here are the four most common reasons for buying a new AC unit:

  1. Increased Utility Bills. If your utility bills are skyrocketing in the summer, this is a classic sign that your AC unit could be the culprit
  2. Excessive Service Calls & Repairs. A new AC system is on the horizon if you have to call an AC repair company like Top Shelf Heating & Air every summer to repair your system or recharge the lines.
  3. Age of Your AC System. While the Treasure Valley is booming with new growth, older homes have old AC systems. If your AC system is outdated or more than 10 years old, you may be paying too much and missing out on new advancements.
  4. Comfort is gone. Loud and inefficient AC systems cost you money but don’t help you stay cool in the summer! New technologies embrace the comfortable and quiet model!

Our AC and furnace both went out! It could have been a very stressful situation but the whole team at Top shelf made it easier to swallow. From the salesmen, technicians, installers and even the owner we experienced their professionalism in their knowledge of exactly what AC and Furnace would be the absolute best for my family, my house situation and my finances. They also went above and beyond in their friendliness, communication, set up and clean up. This is one of the biggest investments we put in our homes, I’m so thankful to have been able to trust this team! Definitely recommend Kelly, Paul and Austin!

Top Shelf Heating and Air is just that, Top Shelf customer service and Top Shelf on-site technical knowledge. My furnace failed on the coldest day of the year and our technician Chris was Johnny On The Spot and arrived in under an hour. He quickly diagnosed our plugged vacuum line issue and got our furnace back to blowing hot air. It's hard to find 5 Star customer service in the days we live in but that's exactly what we received! We highly recommend Top Shelf Heating and Air!

I had gone to a different HVAC company 7 years ago. 3 days ago a mouse got caught in the blower wheel and it completely stopped working. I called the old HVAC company and found out my furnace was not under warranty-- in fact it wasn't even registered. I did research and found "Top Shelf Heating and Cooling", which had excellent reviews.
Paul Roll, HVAC journeyman, and Austin Halverson from Top Shelf found a lot of different problems with the HVAC I had. We discussed the options and we made the decision to go with train heat pump with a new back-up furnace. They gutted all the old furnace equipment out, cleaned all the vents, removed a blockage limiting 80% of air flow to half of the house, brought in three air conditioners for us to use in the meantime and returned the next day to install the new heat pump and back-up furnace.
We have a 10-year warranty now. They were very informative and answered all my questions. From the moment the old furnace broke, they made sure our house was cool throughout the process. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional, so I can't rate them highly enough!
Don't run into the problem I had; call Top Shelf and get it done right the first time.

I’ve used Top Shelf on multiple occasions over the years. Two years ago I purchased a new water heater through them and this year was a new furnace and a/c unit outside. On both of those visits they were able to take care of me same day replacing my failed systems!

Chris and Steven also were able to come by and remove a ball from one of my ducts that my puppy managed to lose down it and they were very prompt and efficient.

All of my interactions with Top Shelf have been fantastic and I will continue to use them going forward.

3. How much does it cost to replace my AC?

New AC unit replacements in the Boise area cost an average of between $4,000 and $8,000. The prices vary based on the unit size, type (ductless split vs. central AC), and include installation.

4. When should you replace your air conditioner?

If you notice that your AC stops working, you don’t need to replace it immediately; a repair might fix the issue. However, if your AC unit is over 15 years old and you experience problems every year, it may be a sign that it’s time to replace your system. When the repair costs exceed $1,000, we tend to air on the side of replacing the AC unit.

5. What is the average lifespan for an AC unit?

Your home’s AC unit should last 15 years and can last much longer (20-25 years) when maintained. Regular maintenance and using the proper AC unit for your home’s size will increase the lifespan of your air conditioner. If you overwork your AC and fail to properly maintain it, the system may fail sooner.

6. What brands does Top Shelf Heating use for new AC units?

We offer Trane products because of their efficiency and reputation for our Air Conditioning system replacements. Trane received the highest numerical score in the proprietary Lifestory Research America’s Most Trusted® HVAC Brand study over nine years, and their products are highly efficient with exceptional warranties.
