For the majority of your air conditioner’s life, simple repairs can go a long way to extending the lifespan of your unit. Small repairs usually seem like the best option to return your home to a cool oasis. However, these repairs make recognizing the end of your unit’s life rather difficult. When is the right time to replace your air conditioner? Our experts have collected some common signs that they look out for in a failing air conditioning system.
The most important factor in replacement is the unit’s age. Air conditioners are designed to last 10-15 years serving your home, but that means there’s no hard and fast rule for AC replacement. When your unit reaches 10 years old, all repairs and malfunctions become more serious. If you have an older AC unit AND you also experience any of the following signs of AC failure, it’s time to consider an Alexandria AC replacement.
Your cooling unit should deliver frosty, consistent air to your living areas. It’s that simple. If your unit doesn’t, then it’s time to look at an upgrade. Other signs of poor AC performance could include hot and cold spots, low airflow, long waits for cool air or even hot air instead of cold. If your unit isn’t performing correctly, it’s time for the pros to take a look. Southern Air will be able to recommend a simple repair or a replacement.
From the second your AC starts running, its efficiency starts to fall. The natural order of heating and cooling units means that your unit will never be more efficient than on its first day of use. When your unit is getting older, efficiency will start to suffer. Keep an eye on how much energy your utility bill reports your home using. Increases in energy consumption over time often indicate that your system is sucking down more energy every month. You might also notice a sudden spike in energy usage if your unit is failing.
While small repairs can make sense during the middle of your unit’s lifespan, the closer your Alexandria AC gets to the end of its life, the less cost-effective repairs will be. Once your AC is deteriorating, repairs likely don’t make much sense anymore. If you have noticed more frequent repairs over the past few years, it could signify that more and more parts are simply wearing out. A newer unit may be an investment, but it can easily be cheaper than continued repairs on a unit that will die.
