Three Signs An AC System Is Ready for a Replacement

Before replacing an air conditioning unit, it is best to first look for the signs that the system is not functioning as it should, and experts recommend asking for a second opinion. The average lifespan of an air conditioning unit is about 15-20 years.

Several signs that signify the AC unit may be ready for a replacement are abnormal sounds and smells, high energy bills, rust, and age. Sometimes, the system only needs a quick AC repair, but this is not always the case.

Abnormal sounds and smells

abnormal smellsAnytime an abnormal sound or smell comes from the system, there is cause for concern. Most of the time, homeowners should not hear anything from their AC system except the cool or warm air blowing. However, when there is a problem, it is not uncommon to hear banging, hissing, or the loud sound of the motor.

Usually, when there is a loud sound, it points to a problem with the motor, but sometimes it means the AC system is working too hard. What about smells? Most AC systems do not have a scent to them. If homeowners suddenly smell something in the air blowing from their AC vents, this is a sign that something is wrong. The smell of burning metal is a cause for concern too!

Outrageously High Energy Bills

An increase in the energy bill can mean many things, but it usually points to the fact it’s time to install a new AC system. When homeowners are saddled with high energy bills, it can be overwhelming and frustrating. High energy bills usually occur when the AC system takes a lot of energy and time to cool or heat a home.

Older models are not designed to use as little energy as possible, meaning that high energy bills are common. However, there are options to try when installing a new AC system. For example, looking for a high-quality and energy-efficient AC system is a great option, especially one compatible with a smart thermostat.

Other Signs To Watch Out for

There are also a few other signs that it is time to change and replace the AC system in a home other than the smell, noise, or cost. Sometimes, the outside of the AC system is rough and looks rusted. Rust can cause the system to decrease in efficiency and eventually stop working. Air conditioners with rust can be fixed, but only if caught in the early stages. Otherwise, it will need to be replaced.

Rusted or rough-looking units can be due to age and normal wear and tear. AC systems have several parts that wear down over time, so if the unit shows signs of aging, it may be time to replace it. Homeowners should immediately call an air conditioning company if they notice any of the signs above to prevent further damage.
