The Top 3 Signs That AC Replacement Is Needed Before the Start of Summer

The start of Summer is actually the perfect time to have any AC unit replaced. However, the homeowner must first know what to look for to trust they are making the right decision. Of course, it is always best to consult an HVAC professional before making any decisions, but there are three signs in particular that point to the inevitable need for AC replacement. It is important to mention these signs to the professional before they come out to take a look. There are some scenarios where the AC unit could potentially just need to be repaired. 

However, in most cases, when the AC unit experiences any of the below signs, it is time for a replacement. Continue reading to learn more. 

How Old Is the Unit? 

There are several different factors at play when discussing how long an air conditioning unit lasts. Some of the factors include: 

  • The type of unit it is
  • When it was manufactured
  • If it was new when the homeowner got it
  • Whether or not they stuck to a regular maintenance schedule 

Generally, a good rule of thumb to remember is that after 15 to 20 years, if the ac unit starts to give the homeowner trouble, it is probably time to replace the unit with a new one. That said, there have been ac units that lasted longer than 20 years. It’s important to note that this doesn’t happen often but is still possible. Homeowners should always call a professional to take a look at the unit before they decide to purchase a new one. 

Have Energy Costs Increased?

A significant decrease in efficiency is another telltale sign that it is time for a replacement. Homeowners can easily scale how efficient their ac unit is by looking at the energy bill each month. If the bill tends to increase from one month to the other, this could be a sign of a loss of efficiency. This is especially true if the bill continues to increase slowly over time. 

The sooner homeowners call a professional, the better. It will only save them money in the end. 

Does It Take Forever To Cool the House?

However, other things could cause this as well, like a clogged air filter. If the air filter was recently changed and it still seems like the ac unit runs longer than it should or longer than it used to, it is probably time to call a professional. 

The longer homeowners neglect this type of problem, the more expensive it gets for them in the end, as far as monthly bill costs are concerned.
