Figuring Out If Its Time for AC Repair or Replacement

May 26, 2016

It can be a hard decision, deciding if your air conditioner demands repair or if it’s time to replace your full system. The expenditures from continuous repairs can really add up, but getting a new air conditioner system can also be a large decision. So, before you pick either route, there are a few factors 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 built 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 heated summer temperatures.

  3. Does your home feel uncomfortable?
  4. This is something that you should know how to detect instantly. If your house cannot hang around a fixed and comfy temperature, your air conditioner is either the incorrect size for your home, in need of repair, or up 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 sign your AC is on its ending leg. Look at your bill and measure your energy usage this year to last year. A large 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 nice indicator that your air conditioner is on its last leg can be inspecting your energy bills and noticing they are getting pricier and pricier. Compare your energy usage this year to last year and if you find a big increase, know that a new system can work less hard for an increase in comfort and that it will conserve your home energy.
