Figuring Out If Its Time for AC Repair or Replacement

May 26, 2016

It can be a hard decision, deciding if your air conditioner requires repair or if it’s time to swap out your entire system. The expenditures from incessant repairs can really add up, but purchasing a new air conditioner system can also be a large investment. So, before you pick either option, there are a few factors to remember to be certain 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 made today will be extremely energy efficient, which will save you money in the long run and you won’t have to worry about being left to sweat it out during those heated summer temperatures.

  3. Does your home feel uncomfortable?
  4. This is something that you should know how to detect immediately. If your house cannot hang around a steady and comfy temperature, your air conditioner is either the improper size for your home, in need of repair, or due for a replacement.

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

  7. How high are your energy bills?
  8. A good signal that your air conditioner is near its end can be inspecting your energy bills and observing they are getting pricier and pricier. Contrast your energy usage this year to last year and if you find a big upsurge, know that the latest system will be able to work less hard for a boost in comfort and that it will help with your home energy.
