When to Replace Air Conditioner Systems
It can be difficult to know precisely when to get a new air conditioner. Below are a few clues that it’s time to begin preparing for a new one.
- Monthly utility costs are going up. As your air conditioner ages, it becomes much less effective. Ultimately it needs excessive time or energy to keep things cool.
- Your house feels damp or humid. An inefficient air conditioner has a more challenging time keeping moisture levels in check. You may notice rooms feel muggy or inconsistently cooled down.
- The air conditioner is running constantly. It’s natural for your air conditioner to run more frequently as the temperature increases. However, constant heavy use increases deterioration, reducing the equipment’s life span and making energy bills more costly.
- Your air conditioner is old. With routine maintenance, air conditioners can last 15 years or longer. That being said, getting a new air conditioner even at 10 years old might save 20-40% on cooling costs, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
- You’re investing a lot on air conditioning repair. We suggest complete replacement if repairs are becoming more probable and/or expensive.
- Your AC system uses R-22 refrigerant. This refrigerant is out of production because of its harmful effects on the ozone layer. Fixing a refrigerant leak on systems with R-22 coolant is extremely costly as the remaining supply is only available in limited, recycled supplies.
