*When obtaining an online estimate, please keep in mind that the quote is not final and will be confirmed with a design specialist during an on-site visit. The state requires us to complete a load calculation. A load calculation involves taking measurements throughout the home, and it helps ensure the system is properly sized. An HVAC system under or oversized is a BIG problem! Correct sizing improves comfort, efficiency, humidity control, and helps extend the life of the system. During an on-site visit, our design specialists also take into consideration the existing duct work, construction of home, age of home, etc. when providing the quote.
Benefits of a New Air Conditioning System
A new air conditioning system will keep your Wilmington, NC, home safe and comfortable during the hotter months in North Carolina. It will also run more efficiently and potentially lower your energy bills.
Older air conditioning units tend to run longer and use more electricity. A new air conditioner, especially a variable-speed model, uses less electricity, saving you money.

How Long Does an Air Conditioning Unit Last?
Your air conditioning system might turn on and off, but that does not mean you are getting the best value for your money in terms of comfort and energy savings. Central air conditioners lose efficiency as they age.
Parts wear out, and air conditioning repairs are more frequent.
As your air conditioning unit struggles to maintain efficiency, it uses more energy and increases electricity spending. More frequent repairs will have you opening your wallet again and again.
Well-maintained central air conditioners can last 10 to 15 years before they slow down, although ENERGY STAR® recommends setting a replacement budget for a unit “more than 10 years old.”
Understanding SEER2 Ratings
SEER2 stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2, a rating that measures a cooling system’s energy efficiency. The higher the SEER2 number, the greater the energy efficiency.
Different parts of the country have different rating standards based on the climate and how hot it gets outdoors. For example, new central air conditioners must have a minimum 13.4 SEER2 rating in the northern states and 14.3 in the southwest.
How Long Does Air Conditioner Installation Take?
Our licensed air conditioning installers at O’Brien Service Company typically have a new system in service in under one day. The installation may take a bit longer if we need to extend ductwork or do a little extra to facilitate the best use of your new energy-efficient air conditioner.
When Is the Best Time to Buy a New Air Conditioner?
Early spring or fall is the best time to call for new air conditioning installation with little wait. But any time you need one is the best answer. We can install a new air conditioner throughout the year in your Wilmington, NC, home.
Also, if you need a new heating system, replacing your cooling system at the same time is generally more cost-effective in terms of installation costs and vice versa.

“Rich and his crew were unbelievably efficient, clean and super polite! I would highly recommend this team to any and all friends! Job well done guys!”
“The entire team is fantastic – sales (Kris) office (Heather) and installation team (Eric and Jackson). Professional, but friendly, with
good communication. Highly recommended.”
“O'Brien Service Company is one of the most outstanding HAVC companies in our area. From the moment my system went down to the install it was handed with complete competence techs. Very efficient and helpful, always on time and great quality. Thank you for your great service.”
“Our upstairs heat pump (2 ton) gradually failed. I had techs from three different companies diagnose the issue and received estimates from three for the replacement. There was no comparison in the business practices of the companies. I won't detail in incompetence and shady sales approaches that I experienced. Obrien was the exception. Matt listened to me regarding the amount of money I was willing to spend and proposed a quality system within my parameters. Gauge and his partner did a great installation, answering my questions and keeping me informed every step of the way. Obrien was about 5% more expensive than others but well worth it knowing that the job was done right (installation is critical for these units) and knowing they will be there to stand behind their work.”
“Had two HVAC systems replaced at Saint Basil The Great Orthodox Church and the instillation by Eric, Jackson, Seth and crew went very smoothly. The professionalism, technical expertise, customer focus, creativity and attention to detail they demonstrated was unsurpassed and greatly appreciated. They came in did what needed to be done and left without a trace of them being there. They took the time to work with and communicate to the customer what they were doing and solicited input to be sure we were satisfied. They arrived on time and worked to get the project done in the time frame required, even adjusting the schedule to fit our needs. The operational training and instruction they provided was concise, understandable and effective. Would highly recommend O'Brien and look forward to working with them on our next project.”
“Aiden was a fantastic representative for your company when he was at my house yesterday. He was very informative and thorough with fixing the issue with my units drain pipe. For a stressful issue to me, the experience was as good as it gets. Thanks again.”
“We have been O'Brien customers for years and have been very happy with the quality of their work and their responsiveness. My wife recently heard a faint sound coming from our HVAC system. Concerned, she called O'Brien to check it out. The technician quickly determined that there was a water leak involved and located the break. The problem required both HVAC and plumbing expertise to resolve. If left alone, the problem could have turned into a major catastrophe. O'Brien assembled a combined team of HVAC and plumbing experts that same day and they were able to fix it before we had a major problem. Kudos for a job well done.”
“Great experience! Tim was very responsive and knowledgeable. Eric and Jackson handled the installation of my new system. They were professional and thorough.”
“Adam Carr was very systematic and thorough in examining and making necessary repairs to our units.. He explained in great detail what he was doing every step of the way. Adam was very personable and a true professional. Very pleased with happy with the service.”
