AIR CONDITIONING
Today’s best air conditioners use 30% to 50% less energy to produce the same amount of cooling as air conditioners made in the mid-1970s. Even if your air conditioner is only 10 years old, you may save 20% to 40% of your cooling energy costs by replacing it with a newer, more efficient model.
If you are replacing an older or failed split systems unit, be sure that the evaporator coil (indoor unit) is replaced with a new one that exactly matches the condenser coil in the new condensing unit. If the existing evaporator coil is left in place, the air conditioner’s efficiency will likely not improve or the coil could cause the compressor to fail prematurely.
Consumer Reports says that more than half of the repairs on heating and air conditioning systems is actually caused by faulty installation of the equipment. If your system is not sized correctly or installed incorrectly, you will never achieve the optimal performance. The system will be less energy efficient and won’t last very long at all.
McLaughlin’s has been installing systems for over 60 years. With this experience comes the knowledge to solve any problem, no matter how your home is built. We specialize in installing systems that blend in with your design. Nobody really wants to see or hear his or her system running.

Our Installation
McLaughlin Air Conditioning Co. is the most trusted air conditioning contractor in Stockton, CA. Our team provides seasonal maintenance plans to keep your air conditioning unit running at its best! It is important to remember that your air conditioner’s coils, filters, and fins require being maintenanced regularly in order for the unit to function properly and efficiently throughout its lifespan.
If you fail to have the necessary maintenance performed on your air conditioning unit, its performance will quickly decline and the energy use will greatly increase. Below are the parts of your air conditioning unit that must be maintenanced.
Air Conditioner Coils
Over the years of the unit being used, the air conditioner’s evaporator coil and condenser coil collect dirt. This dirt decreases the airflow and can become a problem. In order to avoid this problem, you should check the evaporator coil a few times a year and clean it when needed.
We also recommend to our customers to invest in a UV light. Mold can greatly affect the evaporator coil’s efficiency and is a great spot for mold to grow. You can mount a UV light inside with the coil and it will keep mold from growing.
Air Conditioner Filters
One of the most important maintenance tasks for your air conditioner is to routinely replace and clean its filters. If this is not done, they will quickly become clogged and dirty, causing the air flow to be blocked and reduce the units efficiency.
If this airflow is blocked, the air that does pass through may carry dirt directly into the evaporator coil. If this happens, it will affect the coil’s heat-absorbing capacity. By keeping your air conditioner filters clean, it can lower the units energy use up to 15%.
Coil Fins
Located on the evaporator and condenser coils are aluminum fins. These are easily bent and may block airflow from passing through the coil. Our team uses a tool called a “fin comb” to comb the fins into the closest original condition that they come.
Condensate Drains
Another place that our team maintenances in your air conditioning unit is the condensate drain. We maintenance the condensate drain by running a stiff wire through it, unclogging it. Clogged condensate drains prevent the unit from decreasing humidity.

Our Installation
- Ensures that ductwork is correct size for the new system
- Allows adequate indoor space for the installation, maintenance, and repair of the new system
- Uses a duct sizing methodology suggested by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA)
- Ensures there are enough supply registers to deliver cool air and enough return air registers to carry warm house air back to the air conditioner.
- Seals all duct with duct mastic
- Locates the condensing unit where its noise will not keep you or your neighbors awake at night
- Verifies that the newly installed air conditioner has the exact refrigerant charge and airflow rate specified by manufacturers
- Locates the thermostat away from heat sources, such as windows or supply registers
- If adding an air conditioner for the first time, making sure electric service panel can handle this additional load
- Installing the correct size _____ for furnace. If replacing an older furnace with higher AFUE, venting will need to be changed from metal to PVC
- Installing secondary drain pans on attic installations where condensation will be generated and drainpipe is routed to an ideal outside location
- Insulating all Freon lines
- Install filter in an easy to replace place
- Install new programmable thermostat
- Has a duct test performed by third party to ensure it is sealed
