What Your Neighbors Are Saying About Us

Tankless water heater installed. Works amazing! The guys came out, punctual, they kept us involved with every step of the installation, consulted us on heater and every pipe including what they will do when we have them back to flush the system. Excellent knowledge of products and services that they (the company as a whole) provide!

Colton and Quenton replaced my water heater with a tankless system, added a halo5 water purifier & repaired an outdoor faucet, plus the supporting plumbing connections in the attic and also chased down parts during the day as required.

I woke this morning to a non functioning heater. I called and was given an immediate appointment. The tech was prompt, polite, and worked quickly to get my system back up and running. The cost was affordable and I appreciate Javier being patient and explaining what he needed to do to get things working again. He had to leave for a part but quickly returned to get it installed.

Don't was amazing he helped fix both compasitors, gave me helpful information to keep my system clean and working better. He got me signed up with a helpful Premier service agreement that will keep me going during hot and cold months! Thank you

Our A/C unit went out and On Time was able to get us scheduled for less than 24 hours later. With a 4 week old at home and 95 degree weather, we were SO grateful. The technician who came out to work on our unit was wonderful. He was efficient, professional and knowledgeable. He was able to have our unit up and running within 15 minutes. Overall, we are thrilled with the help we received and would absolutely call On-Time again if needed!

I would like to post this publicly on Google about Jeremy for on time plumbing electrical and heating and AC company for the fantastic job he did at my home on Sunday May 3rd 2026. I had an issue with a faucet that busted on the hot water side of my bathtub and due to needing water for many issues on Sunday I contacted this company and Jeremy contacted me and he came out went over everything the cost the process to fix the issue and then he fixed it.

Signs Your AC System Needs to Be Replaced

Most AC systems give you warning signs before they fail completely. Paying attention to those signs can help you plan a replacement on your terms rather than scrambling in the middle of a heat wave.

Common signs it is time for a new system include:

System is 15 years old or older
Frequent breakdowns or repeat repairs
Uneven cooling throughout the home
Rising energy bills without explanation
Excessive humidity indoors
Loud or unusual noises during operation
System uses R-22 refrigerant
Blows warm or barely cool air

If you are calling for repairs every season or your energy bills have been creeping up steadily, the cost of keeping an old AC running may outweigh the investment in a new system. We can help you compare your options and determine whether continued repairs or AC replacement makes the most sense for your home and budget.

Why AC Systems Fail Before Their Time

A well-made air conditioner should last 15 to 20 years with proper care. When systems fail significantly earlier than that, there is usually a reason, and it often comes back to installation quality or lack of maintenance.

Improper sizing is one of the most common culprits. An AC unit that is too large for the home will short cycle, meaning it turns on and off too frequently without completing a full cooling cycle. That puts excessive wear on the compressor and other components, shortening the life of the system. A unit that is too small runs constantly trying to meet a demand it was never built to handle.

Poor installation practices compound the problem. Refrigerant lines that are not properly sealed, ductwork that leaks, or electrical connections that are not up to standard all affect how efficiently and reliably a system runs. Cutting corners at installation almost always shows up as problems down the road.

Wichita’s climate is particularly demanding on cooling equipment. The combination of intense summer heat, high humidity, and the long cooling season means AC systems here work harder and longer than they would in milder climates. Skipping annual maintenance allows dust, debris, and wear to accumulate until something gives out. Regular tune-ups are what keep a system running through years of Kansas summers.

What Our AC Installation and Replacement Service Includes

Replacing an air conditioner is a significant investment, and the way it is installed has a direct impact on how well it performs and how long it lasts. We take that seriously on every job.

We start with a load calculation to determine the right size system for your home. This accounts for your square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, window placement, and other factors that affect how much cooling your home actually needs. Skipping this step and guessing at size is one of the most common mistakes made in AC installation, and it is one we never make.

Once we have identified the right equipment, we handle the full installation including removing the old system, setting the new outdoor unit, installing or replacing the indoor air handler if needed, connecting refrigerant lines, and making sure all electrical connections are properly made and up to code. We also check and seal ductwork connections to make sure conditioned air is actually reaching the rooms it is supposed to.

Before we leave, we test the system through a full operating cycle, verify that it is cooling properly, and check the thermostat calibration. We walk you through the new equipment, answer any questions you have, and make sure you feel comfortable with what has been installed in your home.

When You Need an Emergency AC Replacement

There are situations where a repair is simply not a viable option and a replacement needs to happen quickly. A compressor that has failed completely, a system with a refrigerant leak that is no longer serviceable, or a unit that has been damaged beyond repair can leave a home without cooling in the middle of summer.

In Wichita, losing your air conditioner during a heat wave is more than uncomfortable. It can be a genuine health concern, especially for older adults, young children, or anyone with a medical condition affected by heat. We treat emergency AC replacement with the urgency those situations deserve.

If you find yourself in that position, call us right away. We will assess the situation, give you honest options, and work to get a new system in place as quickly as possible so your home is comfortable and safe again.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I should repair or replace my AC?

A good rule of thumb is to compare the cost of the repair against the age and condition of the system. If the repair costs more than half the price of a new unit and the system is over ten years old, replacement is usually the smarter long-term decision. We can walk you through that comparison honestly when we assess your system.

How long does an AC installation take?

Most standard AC replacements can be completed in one day. More complex installations involving ductwork modifications or equipment upgrades may take longer. We will give you a realistic timeline before the work begins.

What size AC unit do I need for my home?

Sizing depends on several factors including your home’s square footage, insulation, ceiling height, and sun exposure. We perform a proper load calculation on every installation to make sure the equipment we recommend is actually matched to your home’s needs.

How long should a new air conditioner last?

A properly sized and installed AC system that receives annual maintenance should last 15 to 20 years. Skipping maintenance or running a system that was improperly installed from the start can shorten that lifespan significantly.

Do you offer financing or flexible payment options?

We want homeowners to be able to make the right decision for their home without the upfront cost being a barrier. Contact us directly to ask about current financing options and what may be available for your situation.
