Manny is truly outstanding! Tim and Tori have consistently provided excellent service for the past 8 years, taking care of three of our homes. We recently had two new installations done, and this time the company exceeded all expectations. Manny and Geo are incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and thorough. They took the time to sit down with me and explain everything in detail.

From the way beginning, back in April, my wife and I saw 3 different companies to see what is the best fit for us. One was very confident and was trying very hard to sell us. The second person, she was a little more friendly but still didn't fit our request, third person was just all over the place, and finally 1st Choice came along. Tim, who was very knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly, told us everything

Manny came in ready to get my AC back up and working, he began by ensuring the component was in stock and available. When he showed up at the house he worked tirelessly and diligently despite the 106 deg heat. He completed the job perfectly ensuring the unit was cleaned and working properly. He checked the house inspecting the vents to ensure air was coming out at the right temperature.

Signs It's Time to Replace Your AC System

Holding onto an aging AC system can cost you more in the long run than replacing it. Here are some signs it may be time for a new unit:

  • Your system is more than 10 to 15 years old, and repairs are becoming more frequent and expensive.
  • Your energy bills keep rising even though your usage and habits haven’t changed.
  • The system struggles to cool your home evenly or can’t keep up during peak summer heat.
  • You’ve been told your unit uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer manufactured and increasingly costly to source.
  • Unusual noises, such as banging, rattling, or grinding, have become a regular occurrence.
  • The system requires a repair that costs more than half the price of a new unit.

If any of these sound familiar, a replacement is likely the smarter and more cost-effective path forward.
