When to Replace an Air Conditioner
It is all too common for people to wait until their AC has completely failed before replacing it. This is understandable, because you probably want to squeeze the last bit of life you can before spending money on a new unit. However, if the thought of going without cold air is unbearable to you, knowing the signs that your air conditioner is failing is beneficial. While the following signs individually may just indicate an aging unit or another problem, when combined, these symptoms could be telling you it’s time to replace the unit:
- Age- every appliance has a lifespan and an air conditioner is no different. 10-15 years the average life of a well-maintained unit. This number does not mean that the unit will die when it hits 15 years old, but it certainly will be running less efficiently than before
- High electric bills- it’s common to see fluctuations in your energy bills over the course of a year. However, if it seems like your bill is steadily increasing at a rapid pace, chances are it has to do with an inefficient HVAC unit
- Uncomfortable inside temperatures- the whole point of an AC unit is to keep your home cool and comfortable. If you can never find the cool relief you need in your home, a new unit may be what you need
- Expensive repairs- constantly calling a professional to fix various issues will add up quickly. Consider how much you’re spending on repairs versus the cost of a new AC unit
- Type of Freon- older air conditioners rely on a type of refrigerant called R22. This coolant is being phased out by the government making it expensive. Newer units use R410A which is far less costly than R22
