The weather is heating up and Jack's Heating, Cooling, Stoves & Fireplaces realizes you want to make sure you remain content all summer long. So, if your air conditioner isn’t running well, how do you know whether to make the investment toward repairs or purchasing a new system?
Here are some questions you should consider when establishing if you need a new air conditioner:
- How old is my system?
If your system is 10 to 15 years old, you may choose to consider getting a replacement air conditioner. The technology and efficiencies in HVAC systems have continued to develop in recent years and there a lot of added features that favor your home and wallet. - How often are the breakdowns occurring?
If your repairs have been a rare occasion, it may not make sense to take the jump to a new system. However, if your system is requiring help on a more frequent basis, you are putting a lot of cash into fixing a system that may not be operating properly. - Have you noticed an increase in your energy usage?
It’s a good idea to monitor your monthly energy usage. And since temperatures do vary during the year, it’s a good idea to do annual comparisons to get a more specific picture of how your energy usage has changed. If your system is working harder to achieve the same results, it will result in higher energy expenditure. - Do you notice a change in your home comfort?
