When Do You Need to Upgrade Your A/C?

Time to upgrade your A/C?

How do you know when it is time to upgrade your A/C unit?  Even if your A/C seems to be working well, you might need to start considering whether it is time for a new unit.

Dependability – Most air conditioning systems last about 10 – 15 years.  Even if you have regularly maintained your system, there will come a time when it will no longer be dependable.  There is nothing worse than expecting cooling on a hot summer day and finding your system is no longer operational.  Though many parts of an A/C can be repaired, eventually the cost will begin to exceed the benefit.  At that point, the cost of continually repairing your existing unit will eventually be more than a replacement.

Efficiency – Newer systems are likely to be more efficient, both in cooling capability and cost.  An energy-efficient unit can save you money on your electric bill since it runs more effectively.  That means it does not have to run as often to provide the same cooling benefits.  Plus, it should cool more consistently and keep your home at a comfortable temperature.

Quieter – A newer unit is likely to be quieter since all the parts are working optimally.  In addition, when you replace your A/C, you can make sure to place a unit that is adequate for your home’s size, so it works less often and with less strain to keep the space cool.
