As a homeowner one of the toughest decisions you’ll have to make is deciding whether your system is in demand of an AC repair or if it’s time for a replacement system. A new AC is a big investment, but so is the figure of routinely repairing a system that is in need of replacement. There are a few signs that it may be time to stop repairing and look into replacing.
- The Age of Your System
If your air conditioner is between 10-15 years old, it’s probably time to start contemplating a replacement system. An AC created today will be highly energy efficient, which will save you money in the long run and you won’t have to fret about being left to sweat it out during those heated summer months.
- Frequent Breakdowns
Unusual repairs may occur, but if your air conditioner is breaking down multiple times a season, it’s probably time to start looking into a replacement. The money you’re putting into your old system could be used to invest in a current, high-efficiency system.
- Your Energy Bills are Rising
If you’ve noticed your bills getting higher and higher without running your system more often, this could be a sign your AC is on its ending leg. Look at your bill and compare your energy usage this year to last year. A large increase in your consumption could be a sign that it’s time for a new system. As system’s age they have to task harder and that requires more energy.
- Your Home is Uncomfortable
You’ll notice this problem instantly. If your system is having problems maintaining a comfortable temperature, it could be a hint that your AC is in need of repair or replacement. It may also mean that your system is the improper size for your home.
