Is There Ever a Bad Time to Replace Your AC?

outside-ac-unit-with-tools-on-topInvesting in a new air conditioning system isn’t exactly cheap, no matter how affordable of a system you find. But this is definitely one of the most important investments you’ll make for your home, given the constant heat we have to deal with. There’s no denying that we deal with a lot of sunny and hot weather around here… so if you need a new air conditioner, you need it now!

Having an efficient and effective air conditioner installed in your home is the only way you’ll be able to live as comfortably as you deserve. There are a lot of great air conditioners on the market today, and your technicians will ensure yours is properly installed. But when should this installation be? After all, it seems like any time we do it it’s going to mean an interruption in service, right? In St. Augustine, maybe, but there are some signs that indicate you just shouldn’t wait any longer on your cooling system replacement. These signs are as follows.

Your Air Conditioner Is Aging

If you’ve come to the crossroads of deciding whether or not now is the right time to replace your air conditioner, it’s a good idea to ask yourself how old it is. Many cooling system that have been well-maintained can last longer than their projected lifespans. But, the fact that an air conditioner can remain up and running does not mean it’s worth keeping it up and running.

You might be missing out on a number of benefits by not upgrading your air conditioner, such as higher efficiency ratings, improved performance quality, and more. Of course, not all older systems need to be replaced, but you don’t want to wait for a complete breakdown to find this out. Keep your air conditioner’s age in mind, and be sure to call for routine professional services.

You’re Experiencing Higher Operating Costs

When a system ages, the efficiency levels drop. And in recent years, the efficiency levels of newer models have risen. Add these two factors together and you can probably guess that you’re paying a lot more to operate your older air conditioner than your neighbor is to operate their brand new system. The fact is, we use our air conditioners on an almost constant basis around here, and low efficiency can lead to huge operating costs.

Whether you bought a relatively low rated cooling system to begin with in order to save money at the time of purchase, or your air conditioner is 10-15 years old and no longer capable of working as efficiently as it once did, spending your hard earned money on an inefficient system doesn’t make economic sense.

Your Air Conditioner Has Increasing Repair Needs

You shouldn’t have to run the risk of an unreliable air conditioner breaking down on you. But if you are constantly calling for cooling system repairs, that’s a risk you’re taking. If your air conditioner requires repairs a few times a year instead of once every few years, you should definitely think about upgrading it.
