When to Replace Your Air Conditioner
A big part of proper HVAC replacement procedure is knowing when you need a new system. There are a number of different indicators that your air conditioner is on its last legs, including:
- Increasing Operating Costs: Your air conditioning costs are going to rise and fall with how much you use the system, of course. If you start to notice that your bills are rising month to month independently of your usage, though, you should be a bit concerned. That symptom could mean that the wear and tear on your air conditioner is advanced enough that it’s starting to substantially affect the efficiency of the system. There’s not really a way to solve this kind of widespread wear and tear, aside from replacing the air conditioner.
- Constant Breakdowns: Every once in a while, it’s not unusual for an air conditioner to develop some kind of problem that requires professional repair services. There’s a big difference between needing to repair your air conditioner once every few years or so, though, and needing to repair it multiple times a year. If your air conditioner is breaking down that often, you need to replace it. It’s far more cost effective in the long run to install an entirely new system than it is to replace your current system one part at a time.
- Old Age: Under ideal circumstances, you can expect to get around 10–15 years of use out of your home air conditioning system. A system that’s older than that will quickly become too cost–intensive to warrant keeping it around. If your system is older than 15 years, give us a call and we’ll consult with you about the best new system to install in your home.
