Types of AC at Indianola Mechanical

Every home has unique comfort needs, and Indianola Mechanical offers a variety of cooling systems, such as: 

• Central air conditioners. This is the most popular choice for homes with existing ductwork. A central AC unit works with your furnace to distribute cool air evenly and efficiently throughout your house, providing consistent comfort in every room.
• Heat pumps. These are incredibly efficient all-in-one systems. Heat pumps function as powerful air conditioners in the summer. In the cooler months, they reverse the process to provide heat for your home, making them a great year-round comfort solution.
• Ductless mini-splits. If you have an older home without ductwork or want to cool a specific area like a new addition, sunroom, or garage, a mini-split may be a perfect fit. These systems are highly efficient and allow you to create independent temperature zones.
• MagicPak units. Indianola Mechanical is fully prepared to install and service these self-contained heating and cooling units. MagicPaks are often found in apartments, condominiums, and townhomes where limited space is a factor.

Our team can walk you through the benefits of each type of cooling system during a free, in-home estimate so you can make an informed choice.

Signs It's Time for a New Air Conditioner

Deciding whether to keep repairing an old AC or invest in a replacement can be tricky. However, some key signs can indicate it might be time for a new system. 

One of the clearest factors is age—if your air conditioner is over 12-15 years old, it’s likely much less efficient than newer models and more prone to breakdowns. 

Frequent or costly repairs are another red flag. If you’re calling for service every summer or facing the need for a major replacement part like a compressor, it’s often more practical to put that money toward a new, reliable unit with a full warranty. 

Other signs include sudden spikes in your energy bills or the use of outdated R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer environmentally friendly or widely available. 

Simply put: upgrading to a modern system can save you money and headaches in the long run.
