When to Replace Air Conditioner Systems
It can be challenging to know precisely when to get a new air conditioner. Here are a few clues that it’s time to start preparing for a new one.
- Monthly utility costs are going up. As your air conditioner grows older, it becomes much less effective. At some point it requires too much time or power to keep things cool.
- Your house feels damp or humid. An inefficient air conditioner has a harder time keeping moisture levels in check. You may notice rooms feel muggy or inconsistently cooled.
- The air conditioner is running constantly. It’s natural for your air conditioner to run a lot more as the temperature rises. However, constant heavy use increases deterioration, shortening the equipment’s life expectancy and making energy bills more costly.
- Your air conditioner is out of date. With routine maintenance, air conditioners can last 15 years or longer. That being said, getting a new air conditioner even at 10 years old might save 20-40% on cooling expenses, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
- You’re investing a lot on air conditioning repairs. We suggest complete replacement if repairs are ending more likely and/or expensive.
- Your AC system uses R-22 refrigerant. This refrigerant is out of production due to its destructive effects on the ozone layer. Fixing a refrigerant leak on models with R-22 coolant is really costly as the remaining supply is only available in limited, recycled supplies.
