Signs It's Time for an AC Replacement

If your air conditioning system is struggling to keep up, it may be time to upgrade to a newer, more energy-efficient unit.

Common Signs You Need a New AC System:

  • Frequent Repairs – If your AC requires constant fixes, replacement may be more cost-effective.
  • Higher Energy Bills – Older systems lose efficiency, causing increased utility costs.
  • Inconsistent Cooling – Uneven temperatures indicate your system isn’t performing as it should.
  • System Age – AC units typically last 10–15 years; beyond that, efficiency declines.
  • Strange Noises or Odors – Unusual sounds or smells may signal internal damage or malfunctioning parts.

Replacing an old, inefficient unit with a modern, high-efficiency system can lower energy bills and enhance indoor comfort.

We have been using Jonle for 20+ years. Technician (Mark Johnston) performed our annual furnace maintenance this past week. He was on time, courteous and thorough. Once complete, Mark showed us pictures of the inside of our furnace and explained the services he performed, including changing the filter (I provided) and the humidifier pad. Overall we were pleased as always.

We had a great experience with Travis, the Waterworks drain tech that cleared my septic tank clog. My first call to the main number resulted in getting emergency service scheduled, I was texted technician's information and ETA, and the work was done quickly and professionally. Travis made several good proactive recommendations on which I will certainly follow up. I did pay an Overtime charge but it could have been worst overall.

I have had our furnace/heat pump check-ups and service done by JonLe (merged with Tri-County) for over 20 years and counting. From the HVAC installers (2/3 units replaced over these years). I have my summer and winter services BOTH done annually, using your Annual Service Agreement. Many of my services have been performed by Technical Engineer Steve and he has "ALWAYS" done professional jobs. He's great at trouble shooting, explaining and a "GREAT ASSET" to the JonLe Company; great skilled professional people with people skills is always a plus for any Company. I have recommended JonLe to family and friends that have also had great experiences. From Dave, Dennis, etc who installed my latest HVAC unit in recent years unit to Steve you have quality experienced staff. Again, Steve is a GREAT asset to your Company and one reason, I have continued service with JonLe; and recommended your Company to family and friends. Other HVAC services constantly are trying to expand their business with less expensive deals, etc. but I have remained a satisfied loyal customer; feel very comfortable that our HVAC system is always in top condition. I do wish everyone at JonLe a GREAT end of year Holiday's too; stay safe and well!

Great experience. I called Jonle because the previous owner of the home had their maintenance done through them, and figured if anyone would know my furnace it would be them. The tech (Tim Feldman) called roughly 30 minutes before arrival. He was friendly and was able to diagnose the issue with my furnace quickly and able to explain to me what was wrong and what the fix was. He was able to get my furnace running properly quickly, which is a life saver during the winter!

Very rarely in homeownership is the solution to a problem the $20 part. More often than not it is the $2000 option. After a strong sewer, gas smell in our basement we would have been very happy to pay thousands of dollars for a permanent solution, but our technician from waterworks was able to diagnose the issue. It turned out to be a very small plastic part that had failed. He replaced it the same day and our issues resolved immediately. We will be waterworks customers for life after that kind of service and honesty. Genuinely exceeded expectations and established trust! Well done.

Colin is such an awesome young man, he’s friendly , professional and knows how to diagnose and find the problem. He always approaches thing in the best interest of his customers and leaves things as neatly and clean as possible… Kudos to Colin and thanks for getting my plumbing repair done quickly and professionally 👍

I really like Jonlee because of their professionalism during my regular seasonal checks for ac/ furnace . I purchased my furnace from them years ago and I was pleased with them giving me comparable products and prices to choose from with a patient and seamless experience. Jonlee has always shown me and my home respect by arriving on time and their cleanliness.They always arrive with shoe covers . Their service is reliable and costs are reasonable which has the same furnace running for years.

Someone's day is about
to get better.
