As a homeowner one of the toughest decisions you’ll have to make is determining whether your system is in need of an AC repair or if it’s time for a replacement system. A new AC is a huge investment, but so is the cost of continually repairing a system that is in need of replacement. There are a few signs that it may be time to pause repairing and glance into replacing.
- The Age of Your System
If your air conditioner is between 10-15 years old, it’s probably time to start looking into a replacement system. An AC created today will be highly energy efficient, which will save you money in the long run and you won’t have to fear about being left to sweat it out during those hot summer months.
- Frequent Breakdowns
Unusual repairs may occur, but if your air conditioner is breaking down many times a season, it’s probably time to start looking into a replacement. The money you’re putting into your old system could be used to invest in a modern, high-efficiency system.
- Your Energy Bills are Rising
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 leg. 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 new system. As system’s age they have to work harder and that requires more energy.
- Your Home is Uncomfortable
You’ll notice this problem right away. If your system is having problems maintaining a comfortable temperature, it could be a warning that your AC is in need of repair or replacement. It may also mean that your system is the incorrect size for your home.
