AC Replacement Service
Sometimes it’s easy to know when to replace your air conditioner because the system has failed. However, many experts suggest that replacing it before that happens makes more sense. So, how do you know when your air conditioner is past its prime and ready for replacement?
Here are the signs to watch for:
Your AC is Over Ten Years Old? Frequent Breakdowns & Repairs
Nothing lasts forever, including your air conditioner. The average AC lasts between 12 and 15 years, so if your system is reaching the end of its expected lifespan, it’s wise to plan on replacing it before it fails.
Raise in Energy Bills
Your air conditioner can lose up to 5% efficiency every year without routine maintenance. A decrease in efficiency means higher energy bills for you. If your AC usage hasn’t changed, but your energy bills continue rising, it’s probably because your air conditioner is drawing too much power to do its job.
Your AC Uses Freon
Freon or R-22 refrigerant was banned for sale and import in the United States in January 2020. So, if your air conditioner uses this chemical as a refrigerant, it’s becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to get it when you need a recharge. Once the available stock is depleted, there’s no more to be gotten. The good news is that air conditioners that use Freon are over 20 years old now and within their window for replacement.
Replacing an air conditioner doesn’t have to be an unexpected purchase. We recommend replacing your system before it reaches the end of its life to avoid disruption and allow you to choose the perfect system for your needs.
