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 Washington, PA, home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Shearer Heating, A/C & Refrigeration 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 Pennsylvania 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 Shearer Heating, A/C & Refrigeration 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, with approved credit, to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.

“Technician arrived on time and was very professional. Would recommend using shearerhvac anytime”
“I feel secure knowing Shearer is there for my furnace and AC needs. They respond quickly, are professional and knowledgeable, and are always friendly. Thanks for getting my AC running again today, Chris D:-)”
“Excellent service, above and beyond! Diagnosed the problem and resolved the issue in no time.”
“Bob Dallatore was excellent. We called in this morning, which is a Saturday, got the answered service, and then promptly received a phone call from Bob. I explained the problem and we set a time for him to come to do the repair. We have the Gold service plan so fortunately he was able to come the same day. He quickly analyzed the problem, presented the price for the part and labor and got our OK to do the repair. The repair was very quick and Bob is so professional and polite. He was a pleasure to work with. Our regular service person is Jared and he is truly excellent as well. We have been with Shearer for 17 years and are very happy with this company.”
“Good afternoon, Jared was very professional…. My only issue is the price for the repair, parts approximately $35 and labor over $280 for a 35 minute fix, when the customer diagnosed the problem from the previous night. I am a member of the maintenance plan. I guess it part of inflation. Thank u.”
“Mike was one of the most courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly service technicians I have ever had the pleasure to meet in response to a call for any type of appliance repair at my home. He quickly identified and repaired the problem with my unit and took the time to show and explain the problem with the parts that needed to be replaced. More businesses should have employees like Mike.”
“Amazingly quick dispatch from Scott and a reasonably priced repair. Very upfront and informative. Completely understood the situation. Chris arrived quick and professional, diagnosed in minutes and got things done asap. This was for my mom’s house and 90° days coming. No gouging or unnecessary upsells. For a situation of where we got passed to shearer because the original install company is no longer in business, this could not have gone any more pain free.”
“I’ve used Shearer for 4 years to cover my AC and heating needs. Their professionalism is unmatched, and I cannot recommend them enough. The courtesy and respect they display every interaction has made me a customer for life!
Today Chris performed the maintenance on my AC,…he was on time, thorough and courteous.”
“Excellent service! Mike Monosky was very knowledgeable and helpful. He found the issue and had our AC running again quickly.”
