Know If Your AC System Needs Replacement

An air conditioning unit is a significant investment, so it’s important to know when you need to replace your old AC unit.

If your air conditioner is over 15 years old, replacing it might be necessary. Older units may lack the energy efficiency needed to cool homes today. In addition, older units can make strange sounds, leak water onto the floor near them, or not start up at all.

External issues like a lack of maintenance can also warrant an AC replacement. If your unit experiences problems with consistent cooling, you should call our professionals for servicing and inspections today.

 

Picking A New Air Conditioning

As temperatures begin to rise, most people will make the switch over from heating to cooling their homes. Whether you are moving into a new house or apartment, need to replace an old unit or simply want to upgrade it’s time for you to learn about the different types of air conditioning units available. By knowing what is available and which models are right for your home, you can save money on your electric bill while still staying cool this summer.

There are three different types of air conditioning units available today: window units, central units and mini splits. Each one has their own advantages and disadvantages, which you should keep in mind when making your decision. If you’re going to be doing a lot of traveling or won’t need a unit for very long then the window models may be best for you, but if you want something that can cool down large rooms then buying central cooling is probably your best option. Mini-splits offer the most flexibility as they allow single area control of temperature instead of just heating or cooling an entire home at once.

 

Can Repair Be The Option For Your AC Unit

Is it time for you to replace your air conditioner? If so, you may be wondering if there are any other options. While replacing your air conditioning unit is the most common option, not doing anything might also work. The question is, what should you do?

The answer depends on an assessment of two factors. First, take a look at the age of your current air conditioner. It will almost always make sense to choose replacement over repair once an air conditioner has reached its 13th birthday.

Second, consider how many repairs your unit requires each year; older units with more frequent repairs simply do not last as long as newer units without any repairs at all. These two factors will provide a good idea of what is best for your home.

In some cases, there are signs that signal an air conditioner may be on its last leg. For instance, you might have heard strange noises coming from it recently or perhaps the temperature inside is not as cool as it once was. You can also check to see if your air conditioner is leaking; you might notice puddles of water near the outside unit. These are all signs that it may be time for a new ac installation.
