Is your air conditioner getting old? Have you considered replacing it? Do you know when its time to replace your air conditioner? Below is a list of the top 4 signs that it’s time to replace your old air conditioner (AC) for a new one:
Age of Your Air Conditioner
Is your air conditioner 10-15 years old or older? Depending on the model of your AC, most units have a lifespan of 10-15 years, and some as high as 20. Let’s face it, the heat here in Texas really takes a toll on your AC so it could be shorter than that. If your AC has made it past the 15 year mark, it may be time to have it replaced.
Rising Energy Costs
Is it costing you more each year to run your AC? If your energy costs are rising each year and you’re using your AC about the same amount, it could be a sign that your AC is losing its efficiency. Newer units are more catered to energy efficiency standards and will help you to cut down on your energy costs.
Constant Repairs to Your AC
Are you calling the air conditioning company every summer to come and make repairs on your AC unit? If so, its probably time to invest in a new unit that won’t require the additional expense of repairs.
Your AC Unit Doesn’t Keep the House Cool
Do some areas of your home stay cooler where other areas are warmer? If your AC isn’t functioning well enough to keep the entire house cool, it is time to consider replacing your current AC unit. A new one will help stabilize the temperature in your entire house.
