Repair or Replace Your Air Conditioner?

4/6/2015

There are certain telltale signs that indicate it’s time to consider heating and cooling replacement. Although some homeowners wait until their air conditioner is no longer working to find a replacement, it is much better to be proactive and consider your options before an emergency strikes.

Additionally, making a good decision on the product and the installer can save you thousands on the lifetime expense of your system.

When to Replace Your Air Conditioner

It may be time to call a professional contractor to help you make a change if:

• Your air conditioner is more than 10 years old.
• You haven’t had annual maintenance on your heating and air conditioning system. A poorly maintained system can cut up to 5 years of an HVAC system’s lifespan.
• Your equipment needs frequent repairs and your energy bills are going up.
• Your cooling equipment needs an expensive repair. Do a cost-benefit analysis to see if the repair makes sense.
• Some rooms in your home are too hot or too cold.
  Improper equipment operation, the wrong equipment size, duct problems, or inadequate insulation could be the cause.
• You use your air conditioner a lot. If you have a lot of air leaks in your home, the additional operating hours of your A/C will increase the risk of a breakdown.
• Your home has humidity and other indoor air quality problems. Poor equipment operation, inadequate equipment, and leaky ductwork can cause the air to be too dry in the winter or too humid in the summer.
• Your home is excessively dusty. Leaky ducts can pull particles and air from attics, crawl spaces and basements and distribute them throughout your house. Sealing your ducts may be a solution.
• Your heating or cooling system is noisy. You could have an undersized duct system or a problem with the indoor coil of your cooling equipment.
