*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.

“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.”
“O’Brien Service Company just installed my new HVAC system and I am thrilled with the job they did!! I knew they’d be great as they had previously installed my daughter’s system and I’d used them before to service my old system. They were fantastic every step of the way. They came right away for an after hours visit for a diagnosis. Kris Sciales came the next day and gave the most thorough and understandable estimate for the new system. Not a doubt in my mind he knew what I needed. Agreed to proceed and Alex came next to get the layout specifics. Got the new system installed later that week by Eric and Jackson. They were there all day, and I came home to everything finished and perfect! Amazing job by two super professionals!! Thank you, Eric and Jackson! Smoothest work I’ve ever had done! So happy, I got O’Brien’s to come back and clean my ductwork, too. Jordan came for that work and did a fabulous job, as well. Kris returned the next week for the safety inspection and we were all set! I highly recommend O’Brien Service Company and especially this extra fabulous team of people involved, including project advisor, DeeAnne! Thank you!”
“Repairmen Eric and his other(name escapes me) helper were absolutely GREAT!! Worked from 9am till 5pm to install a new system in a tight spot in closet.
They really knew the job and were very polite and interesting to talk to.
I will definitely recommend O’Brien when the A/C kicks the bucket.
ALSO THANK YOU FOR THE TWO LOANER WINDOW UNITS. REALLY SAVED THE WEEK & WAS COOL ENOUGH TO SLEEP.
THANK YOU,
Art Parker (Jeff Wesche, owner of Duplex). 5701 Park Ave. 28403 (Jeff is 5703).”
“Repeated AC breakdowns , and repairs, left my husband and I frustrated and ready to walk away. EVERYONE at O'Brien is very friendly and accommodating, but the issues continued. Shout out to Kevin MacLellan for his hard work and expertise! He has restored our faith in O'Brien.”
“Cam and Jett the install team were awesome – professional hard working and still had smiles on their face after 12 hours in hot hot weather – i would rate them a perfect 10”
“O’Brien did an outstanding job installing a new air conditioning system today. Eric, Jackson, and Jed were a professional team that worked efficiently and were a great ending to a very satisfying series experience for us. Can’t say enough good things about them! Thank you, O’Brien, once again for being the top HVAC company in Southport.”
“We had a great first experience with O'Brien Service Company. We called for a commercial AC inop issue on a used Bard unit we had purchased and installed ourselves. Where most companies wanted nothing to do with this type of service call, O'Brien was on location less than a few business hours and the technician was friendly and fully confident in working on our system. He was able to quickly find the issue and replaced the part right away. Now we have cold AC and at a minimal cost to get us back up and running. Thank you!”
