Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Portsmouth, RI, home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Ocean State Air Solutions professionals will install your cooling system without delay.
How do you know if you need a replacement air conditioner? Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:
- Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years
Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of acting reactively when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.
- Experiencing more and more repairs
Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.
- Showing signs of running inefficiently
How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.
This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Rhode Island home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.
If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our Ocean State Air Solutions team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.
We also offer several financing options, with approved credit, to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.
Air Conditioning Repairs
Not having your air conditioner working on the hottest of days in Rhode Island can be exasperating. Whenever you need a repair, let our heating and cooling experts quickly remedy it for you.
There are many ways your air conditioner can stop working in its normal capacity. A few symptoms you could experience are:
- Hearing an unusual noise
- Smelling an unusual odor like burning
- Feeling warm air coming from your vents
- Noticing your air conditioner is frozen
- Leaking water
These symptoms mean you have an issue with your air conditioner. Ignoring problems usually only makes them bigger and more costly. Our recommendation is to have one of our Ocean State Air Solutions team members promptly diagnose and repair the issue for you.
Sometimes a repair turns into an emergency. Give us a call when it’s urgent. We are here 24/7 for you.

He was extremely knowledgeable, very personable. He was teriffic.
He needs a raise. He is the kind of employee that you do not want to lose.”
“I couldn't have been more pleased with the service provided by Matthew today. Ocean State Air is a pleasure to work with, from the friendliness and courtesy of the person who takes one's call, to the people who evaluate one's systems and options, to the technicians who are so skilled, competent, and cheerful. Thank you, Ocean State Air!”
“WOW! I am beyond impressed by the thoroughness of the service I received on my 20+ year old central air system. Giovanni, the technician, was simply top notch, crawling in and out of my attic and under my deck! He left no stone unturned. Highly recommend!”
“Noah is great! We renovated our condo 3+ years ago and the split/zoned system never worked properly. The company that installed the system came back to service at least 6-8 times over the past 3 years but never could solve the problem. Your service technician, Noah, came out and wishing an hour or so determined that the damper for the back zone was not functioning. He removed the damper and showed me that it would not open and shut at all. Apparently something either was bent during original install or it was defective from the start. Noah came back 2 days later and installed a new damper and now everything is working fine! I cannot believe we waited 3 years dealing with this issue and once we called Ocean State the problem was solved in 1 visit! Noah was very professional and courteous and we hope that should we ever require service again Noah will be sent to solve the problem. We immediately signed up for your Fall/Spring service maintenance plan. We are very impressed with your company and look forward to a lasting working relationship!”
“I would recommend this company wholeheartedly. They quickly analyzed and repaired my balky heat pumps. They are easy to deal with. The technicians, Matt, Noah and Sam were personable, polite and professional. The office staff was also available when I called and the appointments were kept.”
“My experience with Ocean State Air Solutions has been nothing but positive. From the women who have answered the phone, to Lenny, Caleb, the repair team, and Joe DeSilva, they have all been willing to help solve my AC problem as soon as possible. This is a quality company!”
“Extremely efficient. Noah came and did a maintenance check on my AC system and dehumidifier. He was prompt and most of all pleasant and extremely polite. I am very grateful for the excellent service.”
“Hello Craig, Your staff gave me your email address so that I could tell you how happy we are with the work that Vinnie, Anthony – and some others whose names I didn’t catch — completed last week, when they installed our ductless AC during some really sweltering, bug-filled days, working their buns off to get everything done according to plan.
Last week’s weather was so hot and humid, it was the reason we needed the mini splits, but the ceiling location of the one in the master bedroom was kind of a miracle – and wow – those guys were just amazing in how they worked out a Rubic’s Cube of an installation – through the attic to the ceiling then through my walk-in closet (where they carefully removed all the boxes, clothes, etc that had drifted in there over the past seven years!) and only then to the outside – just amazing!
I’m writing to you because I wanted to express my happiness with the finished AC and because I’m not a big fan of writing anything on google or yelp.
But you need to know those guys – even the guys from Town Electric who were sweating right alongside your team – were polite, cleaned up every little bit, wore those things over their shoes when inside the house – spectacular.
Thanks for making this a nice, cool place to be! Happy customer in Tiverton~”
As a landscape architect I know the value of working with quality, responsive companies, which is why I hired Ocean State Air to perform the HVAC work for my house. It took me 1 1/2 years between the time I first communicated with the owner Craig, to the time I actually got around to doing the work, since I was demolishing my house, excavating, & framing the house myself. Craig & Ocean State Air went the extra mile when it came to aiding me in planning for the HVAC installation on my house & I couldn’t be happier with their work & service. The employees were courteous, respectful, & accommodated a minor request or two along the way. Actions speak louder than words for me and they really followed through and I’m very grateful!

“Can’t thank Craig enough for conversing with me regarding my questions on the performance of my central A/C system – and for sending his technician (Victor) to the house to diagnose!!!
When originally researching companies for the purchase of our central air conditioning system we ultimately chose Ocean State Air in Portsmouth, RI and it has been the best decision we could have made. The great service they have provided recently further reinforces what we knew all along – that we have a high quality / high performance company in Ocean State Air located right here in our back yard in Portsmouth, RI.
Thank you for your quick response and knowledge of the product you sold us!!!! ”
