When to Replace Air Conditioner Systems
It can be difficult to know specifically when to get a new air conditioner. Below are a few clues that it’s time to begin planning for a new one.
- Monthly utility costs are going up. As your air conditioner grows older, it becomes less effective. Eventually it needs too much time or power to keep things cool.
- Your home feels muggy or humid. An ineffective air conditioner has a more difficult time keeping moisture levels in check. You may notice rooms feel muggy or inconsistently cooled.
- The air conditioner is running consistently. It’s natural for your air conditioner to run a lot more as the temperature increases. However, consistent heavy use increases deterioration, reducing the equipment’s life expectancy and making energy bills more pricey.
- Your air conditioner is old. With regular upkeep, 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 service. We advise complete replacement if repairs are ending more probable and/or expensive.
- Your AC system uses R-22 refrigerant. This cooling agent is out of production because of its destructive impacts on the ozone layer. Fixing a refrigerant leak on systems with R-22 coolant is really costly as the remaining supply is only available in limited, recycled amounts.
