When You Need AC Replacement
There are plenty of things that can go wrong with your air conditioning. Your unit might leak, or one or more parts may wear out. You might hear strange sounds or notice it isn’t cooling as efficiently as it did last summer.
While our technicians can often perform repairs, there comes a point when paying to fix ongoing issues becomes expensive. If your system is struggling to keep up, it might be time to consider a full replacement.
There are a few signs that it might be time to replace your older AC unit:
- Poor performance
- Major component failure
- Unit is more than 10 years old
- Rising utility bills
We can help you determine whether an AC replacement might be the best option for you. Another advantage of replacing an older unit is that a newer one will perform more efficiently. This means lower monthly energy bills. And of course, your new unit will come with a manufacturer’s warranty. Depending on the terms, this may cover the cost of parts or labor for several years, giving you added peace of mind.
Many homeowners also notice better overall comfort after replacing an aging system. Newer units are often quieter and better at maintaining consistent temperatures throughout the home. In some cases, replacing your AC system may also allow you to upgrade to a smart thermostat or zoned cooling for even greater control and efficiency.
Our technicians will assess the unit size that you need. This will involve taking several factors into account, including the square footage, configuration, and insulation level of your home.
Correct calculation is essential, and bigger isn’t always better. For example, a central AC unit that’s too large for your home or business may short-cycle, resulting in higher bills and uneven cooling.
