Figuring Out If Its Time for AC Repair or Replacement

May 26, 2016

It can be a tough decision, choosing if your air conditioner requires repair or if it’s time to replace your full system. The expenses from continuous repairs can really accumulate, but purchasing a new air conditioner system can also be a large venture. So, before you pick either route, there are a few things to remember to be confident that it’s time to stop restoring and start replacing:

  1. How often does your system break down?
  2. If your air conditioner is between 10-15 years old, it’s probably time to start contemplating a replacement system. An AC created today will be extremely energy efficient, which will save you money in the long run and you won’t have to fret about being left to sweat it out during those hot summer temperatures.

  3. Does your home feel uncomfortable?
  4. This is something that you should know how to note right away. If your house cannot hang around a fixed and cozy temperature, your air conditioner is either the incorrect size for your home, in need of repair, or in line for a replacement.

  5. How old if your system?
  6. If you’ve observed your bills getting higher and higher without running your system more often, this could be a flag your AC is on its final lap. Look at your bill and measure your energy usage this year to last year. A high increase in your consumption could be a sign that it’s time for a new system. As system’s age they have to try harder and that requires more energy.

  7. How high are your energy bills?
  8. A nice signal that your air conditioner is close to dying can be examining your energy bills and noticing they are getting higher and higher. Contrast your energy usage this year to last year and if you find a huge increase, know that the latest system can work less hard for a rise in comfort and that it will help with your home energy.
