When is it Time to Replace Your AC Unit?

Several factors can indicate it's time to replace your AC unit:

  • Age of the Unit: Most air conditioning units last around 10-15 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching or surpassing this age range, it might be time to consider a replacement.
  • Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself constantly calling for repairs and the costs are adding up, it might be more economical in the long run to replace the unit rather than continue repairing it.
  • Decreased Efficiency: As air conditioners age, they tend to become less efficient, resulting in higher energy bills. If you notice a significant increase in your energy costs despite regular maintenance, it could be a sign that your AC unit is struggling to keep up and needs replacement.
  • Inconsistent Cooling: If certain rooms in your home consistently feel warmer than others, or if you notice uneven cooling throughout your house, it could indicate that your AC unit is failing to distribute cool air effectively, which might warrant a replacement.
  • Strange Noises or Odors: Unusual noises or odors coming from your AC unit could indicate mechanical issues or mold growth, both of which may necessitate a replacement.
  • Refrigerant Leaks: If your AC unit is leaking refrigerant, it can affect its performance and potentially pose health risks. Repairing refrigerant leaks can be costly, so it might be more cost-effective to replace the unit, especially if it's an older model.
  • Outdated Technology: Newer AC units often come with advanced features and technology that improve energy efficiency and performance. If your current unit lacks these features, upgrading to a newer model could result in long-term savings and better comfort.

Ultimately, the decision to replace your AC unit depends on the extent of the issues you're experiencing, the age of the unit, and the cost-effectiveness of repairs versus replacement. It's often a good idea to consult with a professional HVAC technician to assess your specific situation and provide recommendations tailored to your needs.

What Is the Right Cooling System for Your Property?

To pick the right system for your home or business, you should consider a few factors. First, you ought to determine what size would be optimal. This will correspond with the size of your property. A unit that has a higher or lower cooling capacity than what your home or commercial location needs will not be efficient. 

While sorting through different sizes of systems, you will likely notice multiple types of technologies. Some of the most common include central air conditioners, heat pumps, and ductless mini-split systems. Central units are durable and can keep your home or business at a cool, even temperature. Heat pumps offer both heating and cooling and can be very energy efficient. Ductless mini-split systems provide localized temperature control and are great for remodeled or newly constructed spaces without existing ductwork. 

In addition to size and type, you should consider the efficiency of the unit itself. Look for technologies with a high seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). Typically, 14 or above is a good rating, but many systems go up to and above a rating of 20. By choosing one that fits your budget and has the highest SEER rating possible, you will be able to maximize your monthly cost savings.
