It can be a hard decision, choosing if your air conditioner needs repair or if it’s time to swap out your full system. The expenditures from incessant repairs can really accumulate, but purchasing a new air conditioner system can also be a huge decision. So, before you choose either option, there are a few details to consider to be certain that it’s time to stop restoring and start replacing:
- How often does your system break down?
If your air conditioner is between 10-15 years old, it’s probably time to start considering a replacement system. An AC built today will be highly 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 scorching summer days.
- Does your home feel uncomfortable?
This is something that you should be capable to detect instantly. If your house cannot hang around a steady and comfortable temperature, your air conditioner is either the wrong size for your home, in need of repair, or in line for a replacement.
- How old if your system?
If you’ve noticed your bills getting higher and higher without running your system more often, this could be a clue your AC is on its ending lap. Look at your bill and analyze your energy usage this year to last year. A high 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.
- How high are your energy bills?
A great signal that your air conditioner is on its last leg can be inspecting your energy bills and noticing they are getting pricier and pricier. Contrast your energy usage this year to last year and if you find a huge escalation, know that a new system will be able to work less hard for a boost in comfort and that it will conserve your home energy.
