Signs It’s Time for a New AC
If a few of these sound familiar, a new system will likely pay you back in comfort and lower bills. If they don’t — we’ll tell you to keep the one you’ve got.
THE $5,000 RULE
Repair or Replace? The $5,000 Rule Makes It Simple
HVAC pros use a simple rule to answer the biggest question in every AC repair call: is this system worth fixing, or is it time for a new one?
The $5,000 rule. Multiply the age of your AC unit (in years) by the estimated repair cost. If the number is under $5,000, repair. If it’s over, replace.
The math cuts through the sales pitch. A 4-year-old system needing an $800 repair? That’s $3,200 — you’re well under $5,000, and repair is the smart move. A 15-year-old system needing an $800 repair? That’s $12,000 — replacement pays for itself in energy savings, warranty coverage, and the peace of mind of a system that won’t leave you sweating in July.
Two things to know before you apply the rule:
- It assumes an honest repair quote. If a company is padding the repair cost to push you toward a $15,000 replacement, the math breaks. This is why we publish real Denver-metro pricing on this page — so you can check the number yourself.
- It doesn’t factor in Xcel Energy rebates and federal tax credits, which can knock $2,000-$4,000 off a new high-efficiency system. If your unit is close to the replacement threshold, the rebates often tip the decision.
Want to run your own numbers? Our free HVAC cost calculator does the math for you — enter your system’s age, the estimated repair cost, and it tells you where you land against the $5,000 rule in about two minutes. No phone call, no email required to see the answer.

We apply your rebates up front. We help you claim eligible Xcel Energy rebates and federal tax credits, handle the paperwork, and subtract the savings from your quote — so you see the lower number before you ever sign.
Why we’ll never quote a full system you don’t need. Your quote is the price you pay. No commission salespeople, no surprise add-ons on the invoice. The big outfits run on commission and sales quotas, so one failed part can turn into a “$15,000 you need everything replaced” pitch. Often only one unit, inside or outside, actually needs replacing. We’ll tell you the truth, even when it’s the cheaper job.
Your Options
Ways We Can Cool Your Home
We’ll walk you through the choices that fit your home, your budget, and the rebates you qualify for — then let you decide.
We can also install a smart thermostat with your new system, and talk through ductless options if your home isn’t suited to central air.
PRICE YOUR OWN INSTALL
Which System Do You Actually Need?
You’ve seen the price ranges. Now the question is: which system is right for YOUR home?
Our free HVAC cost calculator walks you through it in about two minutes. Answer a few honest questions about your current system, your home, and what you care about (lowest upfront cost vs. lowest energy bills vs. biggest rebate). The tool tells you your realistic price range and whether repair, replacement, or a heat pump is the smart move.
It uses real Denver-metro pricing — not national averages that don’t apply here. Xcel Energy rebates and federal tax credits are already factored in. And unlike getting three quotes from three companies, you don’t sit through three sales pitches to see the numbers.
No phone call. No email required to see your range. No pressure. Just the numbers.

Denver Metro Homeowners on Our Installs
Real neighbors, real systems installed
“Mario was a professional since day 1. When we were buying our house he was prompt in coming by to get an initial estimate… He was even able to get us some significant rebates and tax credits which was able to get us all in at less than the original quote but with a way better, and larger, system. Whole install was done in a day… He even installed our new smart thermostat. Would highly recommend him and his crew to anyone looking for AC work!”
“After our AC went out, I reached out to Mario at 360 HVAC and he was able to get my system assessed quickly. He explained all the options and I am so happy with my new dual heat pump and AC! Mario explained the new system in detail and I felt good about the investment especially with the xcel energy rebates! Choose 360 HVAC and you won’t be disappointed!”
“Great experience earlier this year with Mario and the team!! They were quick to get out for consultation, quick to schedule install, quick to install, and set me up with an awesome system… every time I reached out to Mario he responded within the day, if not faster, and got my issues ironed out same-day. I would definitely recommend working with this team.”

Frequently Asked Questions
AC Installation Questions, Answered Honestly
Straight answers to what Commerce City homeowners ask us most before a new install.
How much does AC installation cost in Commerce City & the Denver Metro?
Most standard central AC installations and replacements in the Commerce City and Denver metro run about $5,000 to $10,000 on an existing duct system. Higher-efficiency units, adding AC to a home that never had it, or homes needing duct or electrical work cost more. Your exact price depends on home size, efficiency, ductwork, and electrical — and you’ll get it in writing after a free in-home estimate, with any rebates already applied.
How long does a new AC installation take?
Most central AC replacements on a home with existing, usable ductwork are completed in a single day. Adding central air to a furnace-only home, installing a heat pump, or jobs that need duct or electrical upgrades may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at your estimate.
Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?
As a rule of thumb, if your AC is under about 10 to 12 years old and the repair costs less than a third of a new system, repairing usually wins. Systems 12 to 15+ years old, units still on old R-22 refrigerant, or major component failures often make replacement the smarter long-term move. We’ll show you the math and the options — and we’ll never push a new system you don’t need. You can also run the numbers with our repair-or-replace calculator.
Do you handle Xcel Energy rebates and tax credits?
Yes. We help you claim eligible Xcel Energy rebates and federal energy tax credits, handle the paperwork, and apply the savings to your quote so you see the lower price up front — high-efficiency AC and heat pump systems often qualify for the most.
My home has a furnace but no AC — can you add central air?
Yes, and it’s very common in Colorado. Many homes here have a gas furnace but no air conditioning, and central AC can usually be added to your existing ductwork. We’ll assess your ductwork, electrical panel capacity, and the best spot for the outdoor unit during a free in-home estimate.
Should I get a heat pump instead of an AC?
A heat pump cools your home like an AC but also heats it, and it qualifies for bigger rebates and tax credits that AC-only systems don’t. For many Commerce City homes it’s a smart long-term choice; for others, a standard AC is the better value. We’ll show you both options and the real numbers so you can decide.
What brands of AC do you install?
We install all major, trusted AC and heat pump brands — the same equipment and the same manufacturer warranties the big companies use. Because we’re a lean local team and not padding the bill to fund layers of managers, you get that same quality at a lower price.
Are you licensed and insured, and do you handle permits?
Yes. 360 HVAC Pro is fully licensed and insured, we pull all required permits, schedule the inspection, and register your manufacturer warranty — so your new system is done right and by the book.
