When to Replace Air Conditioner Systems
It can be hard to understand specifically when to get a new air conditioner. Below are a few clues that it’s time to start preparing for a new one.
- Monthly energy bills are going up. As your air conditioner grows older, it becomes less efficient. At some point it needs excessive time or energy to keep things cool.
- Your house feels muggy or humid. An ineffective air conditioner has a more difficult time keeping humidity levels in check. You may notice rooms feel muggy or inconsistently cool enough.
- 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, reducing the equipment’s life expectancy and making energy bills more expensive.
- Your air conditioner is out of date. With routine upkeep, 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 costs, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
- You’re spending a lot on air conditioning repairs. We suggest full replacement if repairs are becoming more likely and/or expensive.
- Your air conditioner uses R-22 refrigerant. This cooling agent is out of production due to its harmful impacts on the ozone layer. Fixing a refrigerant leak on models with R-22 coolant is extremely costly as the remaining supply is only available in limited, recycled amounts.
