Figuring Out If Its Time for AC Repair or Replacement

May 26, 2016

As a homeowner one of the hardest decisions you’ll have to make is determining whether your system is in demand of an AC repair or if it’s time for a replacement system. A new AC is a big investment, but so is the cost of routinely repairing a system that is in need of replacement. There are a few signs that it may be time to layoff repairing and glance into replacing.

  1. The Age of Your System
  2. If your air conditioner is between 10-15 years old, it’s probably time to start contemplating a replacement system. An AC made today will be more 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 hot summer days.

  3. Frequent Breakdowns
  4. Random repairs may transpire, but if your air conditioner is breaking down numerous 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 current, high-efficiency system.

  5. Your Energy Bills are Rising
  6. If you’ve seen your bills getting higher and higher without running your system more often, this could be a sign your AC is on its final lap. 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 modern system. As system’s age they have to work harder and that requires more energy.

  7. Your Home is Uncomfortable
  8. You’ll notice this one instantly. If your system is having problems 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 wrong size for your home.
