With proper maintenance and care, your air conditioner should provide years of reliable service, but there comes a time when even the most durable machine needs to be replaced. If yours is reaching that time, you should plan installation now, before our La Habra, CA summer hits.
But is your old air conditioner really all done? Or can you get another few summers out of it? There are a few easy ways to help answer those questions. Here are 3 signs that you should replace your air conditioner.
1. Higher Monthly Costs
Efficiency is one of the biggest advantages to a new system, which hasn’t gone through all the wear and tear that your old one has. A new system can save you a great deal on monthly bills, enough to help offset the cost of installation. Specifically, look for a new unit with a higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating than your existing one: a guarantee of lower bills for the same amount of work
2. Extensive Repairs
Repairs are necessary every now and then, but when they start piling up, it’s probably a sign that your air conditioner is ready to be replaced. In fact, even a single repair may be too much if it costs an excessive amount. It may be worth it simply to get a new one rather than to keep pouring money into a lost cause.
3. Age
An older air conditioner isn’t necessarily ready to be replaced, but when you combine age with the kind of problems described above, that usually the best sign that you should invest in a new system.
