The Ryan family relied on their Carrier AC units to keep their home cool and comfortable during the summer. This particular summer, the family decided to go on a nice relaxing vacation. To save money, they decided to turn off their unit while they were gone. When they came back, they tried to turn on their unit to make their home comfortable yet again. Unfortunately, their AC unit would no longer turn on.
To remedy the problem, they called Skylands Energy to discuss their cooling options. Our expert technician, George Lauck, went out to their home to evaluate their situation. Unfortunately, both of the Ryan’s AC units were in an unrepairable state. After his evaluation, George suggested they should replace their current models with two new Heil AC models.
Problem: The Ryan’s needed to replace their two broken AC units as soon as possible. With the hot months of summer coming around, they wanted a solution that would provide them with cool air for a price that wouldn’t break the bank.
Solution: Skylands Energy installed a new central air conditioning system in their Flemington NJ home. The Ryans are now the proud owners of two, 4-ton Heil AC Units, model HSA648GKA. These units will provide the family with cool, efficient air for years to come!
The Ryan family needed a new AC unit, fast. In the hot summer months, every day and night without AC can be extremely uncomfortable. At Skylands Energy, we highly recommend Heil HVAC units. Unfortunately for the Ryans, they didn’t have the option of choosing between potentially repairing their current model or replacing. However, replacing has many advantages including higher efficiency, better comfort, and a long lifespan. The Heil units that were installed in their home are known for the reliability as well as providing superior comfort at a price that anyone would be happy with.
In addition to the efficiency, the single stage compressor provides cool air with reduced humidity. The Heil QuietComfort® 16 Central Air Conditioner is very advanced in the fact that it can be controlled remotely with the Observer® communicating system. Some of the other great features this unit offers include:
16 SEER rating
Single-stage Compressor
Corrosion Resistance
Wi-Fi® Enabled Remote
5-Year Warranty
10-Year Parts Warranty
Energy Star Qualified
With the monthly energy savings from installing this new unit, the Ryan family’s units will practically pay for themselves! Their two new Heil AC units will provide them with cool comfortable air throughout their homes, even in the hottest of summers!
When to Repair vs. When to Replace Your Air Conditioning System
One of the toughest questions to answer in the HVAC business is whether you should repair your current unit, or replace it with a newer model. There are a multitude of factors that go into this decision, and our expert technicians will answer any questions you may have and provide you with a solution that will guarantee to keep you comfortable for years to come! No matter what you choose, Skylands Energy will be there for you!
The industry standard measurement of whether or not you should repair or replace is a simple equation where the cost of a repair multiplied by the age of the unit should be less than the cost of a new unit. New AC units are a big investment but are ones that will last you years! In addition, newer units are significantly more efficient than older models and will save you a lot on your monthly energy bill. In this way, new units often pay for themselves!
There are some telltale signs it’s time to replace your unit including:
Age: Your unit is 10-15 years old
Your unit is loud, noisy, and interrupts your daily life
Your monthly energy bill is 15% higher
Uneven heating/cooling throughout your home
Frequent repairs (more than once a year)
Why AC Units with R-410A Refrigerant Are Superior
Up until 2010, air conditioner manufacturers used a refrigerant called R22. Now we know that for the average person, the difference between the R-22 and R-410-A may be trivial, but hear us out. In the 1990s, the EPA stated that this refrigerant is harmful to the environment and decided to begin the process of phasing it out. The newer R-410A refrigerant is much better for the environment and was implemented in 2015.
Having a unit that still uses the R-22 may significantly impact the cost of a repair job. If your R-22 unit is leaking refrigerant, the cost to repair will be exponentially higher than an R-410A. The costs of these repairs will only increase as there is a limited supply of R-22 refrigerant and a very high demand. All our HVAC experts recommend upgrading your current system to the newer 410-A models just in case something does go wrong.
Overall, most repairs can be avoided with proper care and attention. If you do notice anything wrong with your unit, don’t hesitate to call. Ignoring a problem may cause it to get significantly worse and may permanently damage your unit. To make sure you never have an expensive repair, make sure you have your system checked by an HVAC professional on a yearly basis!
Joe was friendly and polite and knowledgeable. He was able to determine the cause of our air conditioning malfunction quickly, and make the necessary repairs! I am grateful!

When I opened the garage door this morning, I was shocked by an oil leak on the basement floor. Called for service and a technician was here in less than 30 minutes. Diagnosed the problem instantly when he saw the furnace. Issue was fixed quickly and the tech and his assistant went above and beyond to clean up the spill. Very professional.

Mark Hanna was on time and after checking out the furnace he immediately called the office to get the new part that was needed to fix the furnace. Another driver brought the part to him to save him the road trip to get a new one. He took his time and left no mess behind. We have had this company, and Mark, for over 10 years and highly recommended Skylands.
