Here are some questions you should contemplate when establishing if you need a new air conditioner:
- How old is my system?
If your system is 10 to 15 years old, you may want to think about investing in a replacement air conditioner. The technology and efficiencies in HVAC systems have continued to develop in recent years and there many extra features that help your home and wallet. - How often are the breakdowns occurring?
If your repairs have been infrequent, it may not make sense to take the plunge to a new system. However, if your system is requiring repairs on a more frequent basis, you are putting a lot of money into fixing a system that may not be functioning properly. - Have you noticed an increase in your energy usage?
It’s a good idea to keep an eye on your monthly energy usage. And since temperatures do change throughout the year, it’s a good idea to do once a year comparisons to get a more accurate idea of how your energy usage has changed. If your system is working harder to achieve the same results, it will result in higher energy expenditure. - Do you notice a change in your home comfort?
