How Do I Know if I Need a New Air Conditioner?

|

The weather is heating up and Air Houston Mechanical LLC understands you want to make sure you keep content all summer long. So, if your air conditioner isn’t running properly, how do you know whether to invest in repairs or purchase a new system?

Here are some questions you should consider when determining if you need a new air conditioner:

  • How old is my system?
    If your system is 10 to 15 years old, you may choose to think about getting a replacement air conditioner. The technology and efficiencies in HVAC systems have continued to develop in recent years and their many extra features that benefit your home and wallet.
  • How often are the breakdowns occurring?
    If your repairs have been infrequent, it may not make sense to take the plunge to a new system. However, if your system is requiring repairs on a more frequent basis, you are putting a lot of money into fixing a system that may not be working properly.
  • Have you noticed an increase in your energy usage?
    It’s a good idea to monitor your monthly energy usage. And since temperatures do vary throughout the year, it’s a good idea to do annual comparisons to get a more definite picture of how your energy usage has changed. If your system is running harder to accomplish the same results, it will result in higher energy expenditure.
  • Do you notice a change in your home comfort?
    If your air conditioning system isn’t keeping you cool and comfortable, that’s a signal that something isn’t right.
