As a homeowner one of the toughest decisions you’ll have to make is determining whether your system is in longing of an AC repair or if it’s time for a replacement system. A new AC is a large 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 pause repairing and peek into replacing.
- The Age of Your System
If your air conditioner is between 10-15 years old, it’s probably time to start looking into a replacement system. An AC created today will be more energy efficient, which will save you money in the long run and you won’t have to fear about being left to sweat it out during those scorching summer temperatures.
- Frequent Breakdowns
Occasional repairs may happen, but if your air conditioner is breaking down multiple times a season, it’s probably time to initiate looking into a replacement. The money you’re putting into your tired system could be used to invest in a new, high-efficiency system.
- Your Energy Bills are Rising
If you’ve seen your bills getting higher and higher without running your system more often, this could be a clue your AC is on its final round. Look at your bill and measure your energy usage this year to last year. A large increase in your consumption could be a sign that it’s time for a new system. As system’s age they have to task harder and that requires more energy.
- Your Home is Uncomfortable
You’ll notice this one immediately. If your system is having difficulty maintaining a comfortable temperature, it could be a sign that your AC is in need of repair or replacement. It could also mean that your system is the improper size for your home.
