As a homeowner one of the difficult decisions you’ll have to make is concluding whether your system is in longing 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 considering a replacement system. An AC made today will be highly 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 months.
- Frequent Breakdowns
Unusual repairs may transpire, 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 tired 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 sign your AC is on its last round. Look at your bill and compare 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 work harder and that requires more energy.
- Your Home is Uncomfortable
You’ll notice this problem right away. If your system is having trouble maintaining a comfortable temperature, it could be a hint that your AC is in need of repair or replacement. It could also mean that your system is the incorrect size for your home.
