An expert air conditioning service can perform an inspection to help you determine whether your air conditioner needs to be repaired or replaced. Here are three signs that can indicate your A/C needs attention:
Excessive Energy Costs
Your air conditioner’s efficiency is directly related to its condition. Without regular maintenance, your air conditioner can lose five percent of its efficiency every year, and that only adds up with age. As an air conditioner wears, it becomes less efficient. Inefficient air conditioners require immediate attention by a qualified air conditioning service, and may be candidates for replacement if they are eight or more years old.
Frequent A/C Repairs
It is normal for your air conditioner to need repair a few times across its lifespan, but if your air conditioning service is coming to your home several times in a single season, it may be time for a new air conditioner. Recurring problems could indicate a faulty unit. If your air conditioner is beyond a certain age it can make more sense to have it replaced than continuously repaired.
Ineffective Cooling
If particular rooms of your house remain uncomfortable or you experience drastically uneven cooling, your system may need tuning or repairs. Older air conditioners that have become altogether ineffective are typically more trouble than they are worth to repair; and instead should be replaced by a newer and more efficient unit.
