How much does a residential AC fix cost near Elgin?
The average cost of repairing an air conditioner is $336. The usual range is $163-$520, with repairs costing as much as $1100 at the high end.
Certain repairs will also be more pricey than usual. Replacing a residential air compressor, for example, can cost between $1350 and $1800, while replacing an evaporator coil can cost between $650 and $1200.
In some cases, it may make more sense to replace the air conditioner. Your HVAC professional will be able to advise you on the best solution for your Elgin area home.
Should I repair or replace my home air conditioner?
Many HVAC professionals will use the $5,000 guideline when making this decision. Simply multiply the repair expenses by the air conditioner's age. If the resulting number is greater than $5,000, it may be better to replace your unit.
As an example:
If your repairs cost $500 and your unit is 5 years old, your total cost would be $2,500. It would make sense in this scenario to fix your system.
If your repairs cost $900 and your unit is 10 years old, your total cost will be $9,000. It would make sense in this instance to replace rather than pay for a repair.
Your HVAC technician will also advise you on the most cost-effective solution for your home.
How much does a new AC unit typically cost near Elgin?
A central air conditioner unit installation costs between $3,200 to $7,800 on average for residences. The main elements influencing the cost of an AC unit are the square footage of your home, the preferred brand and the SEER ratings you select. A 2.5 ton AC unit would be ideal for a 1,300 to 1,600 square foot home, and the typical installation cost would be approximately $3,570, with the unit alone costing around $1,285.
A skilledHVAC expert will be able to perform an AC load calculation to determine the size you need, then present you with several options that meet your budget and comfort needs.

Short summary is difficult! Mr. Varn greeted me with a smile and a handshake and then petted the dog! Everything that he did was explained and picture
I was so pleased with the service from Mr. Varn and Carolina Conditions. We decided to have our dryer vent checked out for excess lint. He cleaned and vacuumed the hose ...it really needed to be cleaned! Thank you, Mr. Varn, for a job well done and for being so nice to us.

Excellent troubleshooting - went the extra mile to fix units
Vince did an exceptional job diagnosing and repairing my mini-splits. I had been having reoccurring problems with my NEW system for over 2 years that no one else seemed to be able to figure out. Vince came and put extra effort into understanding the system and the problems I was having, then went even further to research and discuss with other professionals.
To my delight, he was able to find a solution to the problems that were causing my units to quit working and one that was leaking down my wall. He came back and clearly explained what had been happening, he and Mike replaced the water pumps in several of the units, fixed some wiring, leveled the units so they would drain properly, and correct a water flow issue that relied on gravity flow in portions of the system. He even took the time to look at a ceiling light that had quit working when the system was installed and figured out what was happening with it.
Vince was professional and polite during all the visits, listened to my concerns, was honest regarding problems that he was seeing, and didn't give up on finding the resolution.
Vince and Mike worked quickly to implement the repairs and solutions, and cleaned everything up before leaving. Both Vince and Mike were professional and polite.
A great job done. I highly recommend both Vince and Mike!

Above & beyond in customer service
Courtney provided excellent customer service while cleaning my dryer vent today. He’s very personable, pays attention to detail & has a can-do attitude. Most importantly he went above & beyond after he noticed a wasp nest in a separate vent. He took the time to take care of the nest ensuring that my home & family were protected from being attacked by wasps.

Expert, Honest and Friendly Service
Thank you for taking your time and being so thorough; and for offering suggestions to help keep the unit optimally functioning. I am so grateful and amazed at how you even went above and beyond what was needed and tightened up my attic door to fit right when it is closed. I'm sure that will even help keep the heat in the attic and the rest of my house comfortable. I highly recommend and will tell others about Carolina Conditions.

Great company to work with! We had an emergency problem, and they worked quickly to get a technician to us the same day (within a couple of hours of my initial call to the company). Patrick Thompson was the technician that came to us, and he was great! He called to let us know he was on the way, and gave us an ETA (which he met). Upon arrival, he introduced himself, listened attentively as we described our issue, and then went to work in getting our issue resolved. We couldn't be more pleased with both Patrick and Carolina Conditions.

Jeff was on time, professional, knowledgeable, courteous. First time we have used this company; we’ll continue to do so. I'm very impressed!!Update 1-24-2022: We have now used Carolina Conditions for more services; electrical, and HVAC installation. Electrical work was done by Jaxon and Colin on 12-13-2021. Definitely five stars! They installed a chandelier in a room with a 20 foot ceiling, not an easy task. They assembled all the pieces, hung it perfectly, then cleaned up and took away trash. Great job.Last week Carolina Conditions installed a new HVAC unit for us. They had difficulty with the tangled old wiring in our house, but figured out and fixed the problems. We love the new unit, job well done, 5 stars again. The job was finished up by Will. He's a very smart young man and we are grateful for his expertise. GREAT JOB.Update 8-17-22: We have had a few service calls after which I have forgotten to leave reviews (all 5 stars!). Today Cameron came for an HVAC service call. He was very professional, fixed the problem, and explained everything well. He gave some helpful information about maintaining our HVAC system with the correct type of filter, etc. Still five stars for Carolina Conditions and for Cameron.Additional update March 2023: We are currently using the plumbing services for several issues at home. Another five stars! Blake has been the primary person handling our plumbing.. He is very hard working, does an excellent job, and keeps us informed..Update, 4-25-2023. Sequoyah did an excellent job today. He is a great HVAC technician...fast, polite, neat, very knowledgable. We'll give him 6 stars!!!9-16-2022. Mak came to our house for routine HVAC maintenance. He did a great job. We continue to be pleased with Carolina Conditions' services!Brian Livingston evaluated a well water issue for us. Great information; Brian is so SMART!Today, 6-20-2025, Jared P. did an HVAC repair for us. 5 stars! He identified the problem almost immediately, and had it fixed within a short period of time. He was quite helpful with some questions I had about HVAC systems. He is a pro! I'm very glad they sent Jared today, and will request him in the future. (He is kind to dogs; my Pug liked him too!)

I cannot say enough about the service I received today from Sean. He is simply exceptional in explaining every part of the service and discussing the needs of our systems. Upon arrival, he immediately assisted me in an issue I was having in my living room and made sure I had asked all the questions I had. I would recommend Carolina Conditions to anyone based upon the highest quality communications and services that Sean performed today!
