I Don't Know When to Replace My AC!

Since most air conditioners last 15 to 20 years, keeping track of your cooling system’s age will help you plan for an AC replacement. Even if you’re not sure how long ago you installed your current unit, it will show signs that it needs replacing. If you notice these issues, it might be time to plan for a new AC installation.

Rising Energy Costs

Even though it seems as though costs keep rising, your energy bills should stay within the same range. You can tell if higher bills are the result of inflation versus energy waste by comparing energy usage from month to month. When energy waste multiplies from one billing cycle to the next, there’s a problem with your air conditioner.

In some cases, you can reduce energy waste with prompt AC repairs. If your home’s energy consumption continues to rise in spite of regular maintenance and repairs, a Beech Grove HVAC company can install a new and more energy-efficient system.

Your Home Is Too Warm

Frozen AC coils or a refrigerant leak can cause your air conditioner to push out warm air. An HVAC technician can repair these issues and restore proper cooling in both new and older AC models. 

However, the cause of a warm home might be different with an older cooling system. An old AC might have suffered too much wear and tear to function properly any longer. A weakened system won’t be able to keep up with your home’s cooling needs. In this case, an AC replacement is the best option.

Frequent Repairs

High and frequent repair bills indicate a need for an AC replacement. Talk to your Beech Grove HVAC company about a new air conditioner installation when you need multiple repairs in a single season. 

You can tell if this is a problem if you look at last season’s repair bills and see that you spent more for repairs than a new system would cost. In this case, you would save money by replacing the old unit.
