There are several ways to know if it’s time for a new AC installation:
The main reason it might be time for a new AC system is due to failure or the age of the system. While some HVAC technicians say ACs have shorter lifespans, a well taken care of AC system should last approximately 15-20 years. After that time, the unit is much more likely to fail or need expensive repairs. If your system 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 stifling Richmond Heights, MO summer.
Another reason your home may require a new air conditioner is when the cost of repairs becomes expensive. A professional and truthful HVAC technician in Richmond Heights, MO will be able to inspect your AC and tell you if the cost of repairs makes it worthwhile to get a new system installed. You should call a professional for AC repair if your unit shows any of the following symptoms:
Once a professional HVAC technician has inspected your system, they’ll be able to present you with a quote for needed repairs and advise if it may make more sense to install a new system. The cause of death for an older AC unit is usually a failed compressor or a leaking coil. Those are both very expensive repairs, 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 are more energy efficient.
Another reason you may need to replace your AC is if you find yourself making a sequence of yearly repairs. For instance, say you spend money on refrigerant every year, your system has a leak and replacing the lost refrigerant will not repair the leak. As the cost of refrigerant increases every year, you’ll have to spend more money each year. Eventually, you’ll end up paying more just trying to keep that unit functional than you would on a brand new, more energy-efficient system that would be covered under warranty.
While it may not be a good idea for every homeowner, it may be worth it to replace your furnace when you get your AC installation. If your furnace a similar age as your AC unit, some things to think about:
When you a determine a new AC installation is best for your home, choosing the right AC system reduce your energy bills and make your home cooler than ever before.
