Signs You Need Air Conditioning Replacement

If you already have an air conditioning system, you may be wondering how to know when it’s time to get it replaced. Here are a few helpful tips on what to look for when considering AC replacement:

  • Old Age: The average lifespan of an air conditioner is 10-12 years for older systems and 15-20 years for newer models. If your AC is past the 10-year mark and experiencing consistent issues, you may want to consider a new unit rather than repair, especially if the system has not been consistently maintained throughout the years.
  • Frequent Problems: When the costs of continuous repairs and maintenance start to pile up, it might be more cost-effective to invest in AC replacement. Breakdowns are inconvenient, and can be downright dangerous in the summer, so regular air conditioner breakdowns are a sign you should look into getting a new one.
  • Increased Energy Bills: Have you noticed a sharp uptick in the bottom line on your energy bills? This could mean your current air conditioner is inefficient due to old age or malfunction. If you haven’t been using extra energy, yet you’re still seeing a rise in energy cost, it may be a sign that your AC unit is reaching the end of its life.
