How to Know When You Need a New AC Installation in Des Peres, MO

There are several ways to know if it’s time for a new AC installation:

Age

The main reason it might be time for a new AC system is if it fails or is approaching the end of its lifespan. While some HVAC technicians claim shorter lifespans, a adequately taken care of AC unit should last roughly 15-20 years. After that time, the risk of failure or need for expensive repairs goes up dramatically. If your unit is getting up there in age, you should schedule an appointment with an HVAC specialist to ensure it will be up to the task of colling your home through another sweltering Des Peres, MO summer.

Cost of Repairs

Another reason your home may require a new air conditioner is when the cost of repairs becomes expensive. A qualified and honest HVAC expert in Des Peres, MO will be able to check the health of your unit and tell you if you are likely to end up paying more by sticking with your current system. You should request an appointment with an heating and cooling specialist for AC repair if your unit is experiencing any of the following:

  • It won’t turn on
  • It doesn’t cool properly
  • Insufficient airflow
  • Frequent cycling
  • High humidity
  • Water leaks
  • Bad smells
  • High energy bills

Once a professional HVAC technician has examined your system, they’ll be able to present you with an estimate for any repairs your system needs and advise if it may make more sense to install a new system. Most older AC units quit because of a failed compressor or a leaking coil. Fixing those costs a lot of money, and for units that are up there in age, more often than not it’s more cost effective to install a new AC – especially given that newer units will lower your electricity bill.

Series of Annual Repairs

Another reason you may need to replace your AC is if you find yourself making a series of annual repairs. For example, say you spend money on refrigerant annually, your system has a leak and replacing the lost refrigerant will not fix the the issue. As the cost of refrigerant increases every year, you’ll have to spend more money each year. Eventually, you’ll wind up paying more just trying to keep that system functional than you would on a brand new, more energy-efficient system that would be covered under warranty.

Consider a New Furnace Installation Too

While it won’t make sense for every homeowner, you may want to replace your furnace when you get your AC installation. If your heating system also getting up there in age, some factors to consider:

  • Your home comfort and energy efficiency will be higher when both your heating and cooling systems are meant to work together.
  • In the end, you’ll pay less for labor, as there will be fewer visits to your home, and in some cases, some of the installation work that was performed for your new AC system will then need to be undone to perform the installation of your new heating system.
  • Both your furnace and AC will be under the same warranty.
  • It’ll be easier to qualify for utility rebates and new  federal tax credits.

How to Choose the Right AC Unit For Your Des Peres, MO Home

When you a determine a new AC installation is best for your home, making the right choices about your new AC unit can make your home more comfortable and energy efficient than ever before. The Des Peres, MO HVAC specialists at SmartHouse can help you find the unit is correctly sized for your home and meets your cost and efficiency needs. There are two important factors to consider when choosing a new unit for your AC installation:

  1. Seer Rating — SEER stands for “seasonal energy efficiency ratio.” It refers to the heat removed from your home during a cooling season divided by the amount of energy an AC unit consumes in that season. The higher the SEER rating, the lower your energy bills.
  2. Single-Stage vs. Variable Capacity Single-stage units turn on when the temperature goes above your thermostat settings, and turn off once the desired temperature is reached. A single stage is the most basic type of AC unit and typically is the cheapest.

    Variable capacity ACs and heat pumps don’t cycle on and off as a single-stage system does. Rather, they run throughout the day and night and vary their speed based on how much energy is needed to keep your home at a desired temperature. By sizing itself to how much heat you need removed, variable capacity systems are more energy efficient and increase indoor air quality.

Every Des Peres, MO house is different, and you need personalized advice to meet both your performance expectations and budget. Reach out to SmartHouse today at 314-648-3162 to bring an entirely new level of comfort and coolness to your home.
