It can be a tough decision, to decide if your air conditioner needs repair or if it’s time to change your full system. The expenses from continuous repairs can add up but buying a new air conditioner system can also be a large investment. So, before you pick either choice, there are a few things to remember to be sure that it’s time to stop restoring and start replacing:
- How often does your system break down?
- Does your home feel uncomfortable?
- How old is your system?
- How high are your energy bills?
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 extremely energy efficient, which will save you money in the long run and you won’t have to fear being left to sweat it out during those hot summer temperatures.
This is something that you should be able to detect immediately. If your house cannot stay at a steady and comfortable temperature, your air conditioner is either the wrong size for your home, in need of repair, or up for a replacement.
If you’ve seen your bills getting higher and higher without running your system more often, this could be a flag your AC is on its last lap. Look at your bill and analyze 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 systems age, they have to work harder and that requires more energy.
A good indicator that your air conditioner is on its last leg can be checking your energy bills and noting they are getting pricier and pricier. Assess your energy usage this year to last year and if you find a huge increase, know that a fresh system can work less hard for a boost in comfort and that it will conserve your home energy.
