It can be hard to know when it’s better to replace your aging air conditioner or keep repairing it. Sometimes, getting a new unit makes more financial sense. Let our air conditioning experts evaluate your air conditioner and help you decide if it’s worth investing more money to keep it running or if you should install a new one.
Putting in a new air conditioner is expensive when you factor in the cost of the unit and the labor for installation.
However, sometimes it makes more financial sense to take the plunge and buy a new unit, such as when:
Your current unit is over 15 years old.
It’s getting tougher to find parts for your AC.
Your energy bills are rising because your system is inefficient.
The cost of the air conditioner repair is more than half the cost of a new one.
When Should You Get a New Air Conditioner?
It’s not uncommon to wonder when it’s time to get a new air conditioner for your home. And to be fair, most people would rather spend the money repairing their old unit than shelling out for a new one.
According to ENERGY STAR®, the average air conditioner should be replaced every 10 to 12 years. While you can extend its service life to 15 if you’re lucky, the fact that the unit sits outside subjected to weather means it will wear out faster than a furnace.
If you’re not sure whether it’s time to replace your AC, call our expert technicians for an inspection and consultation.
