If your central air conditioning unit breaks, replacing it may seem like a chore. The best time to replace your central air conditioning unit in New Jersey is before you need it. It’s best not to wait until that first hot day of spring when you find yourself wishing you had taken care of the repairs earlier. Replacing a central air conditioning unit could cost you even less if you take it into a place like First Choice Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Electrical in the fall or winter. The temperate climate in New Jersey often means that people forget during the cooler months how hot it can be in the summer, but if you are looking to save money on the cost of air conditioning replacement, then you are much better off dealing with it now.

When it comes to the actual cost of air conditioning replacement, it depends on several factors. One is the size of your house and the type of unit that is already inside. Removing that unit might take no time at all, reducing the cost of air conditioning replacement. Some older models might take longer but when you use an established company like First Choice Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Electrical, the technicians will be efficient when they are replacing your air conditioning system. Second, the cost of replacing the system depends on the new unit you are buying. In New Jersey, it is always recommended to invest in a good quality system. Consider the long-term advantages of a good quality system including the increase in the resale value of the property when the prospective buyer knows the brand of air conditioning unit is top of the line. Also, consider that the best air conditioning units will have fewer problems and need to be repaired much less often over time, saving you a lot of money. The actual labor costs involved with a cheaper versus a more expensive unit could be negligible.

A service person named Angel quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue with my AC. He was very professional. I was so happy with the experience that I signed up for a yearly maintenance contract. I found First Choice based on good local Facebook feedback and I am so glad that I did!

Angel Garcia is the best!!! First Choice has just been great about upgrading my systems. They are neat and their work is impeccable and very pretty. I have used them since 1987 and have no complaints. Angel has been wonderful about making sure we have what we need. He feels like my personal consultant, but all the folks there are so helpful and responsive. Highly highly recommend them.

5 Stars! We had a fantastic experience with First Choice. They installed two new HVAC systems for our business, and the team of Jeff, Ethan, and Joey was professional, efficient, and great to work with. Highly recommend!

Eddie M

We had 2 new hvac systems and a hot water heater replaced and WOW cannot say enough good things about all 4 guys that did the work. Efficient, caring, knowledgeable and all professional. We highly recommend First Choice, from our initial meeting with Ryan to the completion of the installation. Thank you for a perfect job!

Debbie D

We had Alex Dicrosta of First Choice come check our furnace today because it was leaking water when the AC was on. Alex diagnosed the issue quickly that it was a clogged pipe going from the water pump. He unclogged the pipe and confirmed that was the cause of the leak. Alex is extreme knowledgeable, friendly, and customer focused. He even checked the rest of the unit to make sure everything was working properly before he left. I will definitely request Alex the next time I need AC or heating service from First Choice.

Rich R

I had a leaking toilet and gave First Choice a call. They responded quickly and sent someone out the same day. Jordan was very professional, diagnosed the problem right away, and fixed it without any hassle. The leak is gone, and everything works perfectly now. Highly recommend!

First Choice heating & cooling sent a very professional repair man named Angel who did an amazing job doing some electrical work to get my A/C unit working late on a Friday evening. He responded within hours and got the A/C up and running on this super hot day. Thank you Angel from First Choice in Metuchen, NJ! I highly recommend them!
