Signs an AC Needs To Be Replaced Before Summer Begins

Replacing an AC is a big decision. It’s not the cheapest thing in the world to do, but that’s far from the only consideration. It can also be a bit of a hassle, especially if it needs replacing right when the homeowners need it to stay cool in the house. Plus, it can be hard to know when the old AC unit is on its last legs. Luckily, here are some tips that homeowners can use to determine whether they should replace their AC unit before summer starts. 

The AC Unit Is Older

Air conditioners last a long time, but not forever. Unfortunately, the machinery degrades over time, and eventually, it becomes more cost-effective to replace the system than to keep paying for repairs. This is why age is one of the major factors to consider when thinking about replacement. Air conditioners have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years, so those with units 15 or older should consider getting a new one. 

But it’s also best to consider other factors, as well. Some 20-year-old AC units run fine for a couple of more years before they need to be replaced. And some 10-year-old AC units start causing problems that grow increasingly expensive to fix. Some homeowners who purchase a new house with a relatively young AC system are surprised to find that it needs replacing. Unfortunately, this is usually the result of improper maintenance by the previous owners. 

It’s Losing Efficiency

Something else to look at when considering a replacement AC is efficiency. When units start to head down the drain, they often start losing efficiency. This is usually reflected in the energy bills during the warmer months. When there haven’t been any significant changes in household energy use, but the bills keep going up and up, it could be the air conditioner struggling to work. 

Those who suspect that their AC is losing efficiency should contact a professional HVAC company. There are several things that AC techs can look at to help determine whether it’s time to get a new unit or simply repair the old one. 

The Home Isn’t Cooling Well

Those air conditioners that struggle to cool the home will run for hours at a time with little to no change in temperature. Certain areas of the house will be warmer than others, and the AC may even make noise as it struggles to get the temperature down. 

If this is happening in the springtime, it’s a big sign that the AC needs replacing. When the summer heats sets in and the AC is still struggling, it makes for some long, hot days. Plus, summertime is a busy time for HVAC companies, so it’s not uncommon to have to wait a while for a replacement unit to be delivered and installed. This is why it’s crucial to get a replacement AC unit installed before the busy summertime months arrive.
