How Do You Know When Your Air Conditioner Needs to Be Replaced?

The prices of air conditioners make AC repairs the way to go unless you are in dire need of a new air conditioner. Our company can come to look at your existing AC unit and let you know if you should pay for repairs or if an air conditioner replacement is the way to go. We want you to save money, but there’s no sense in repairing something that will need to be replaced in a couple of months anyways. Here are some things to look for when you’re trying to determine if your air conditioner needs to be replaced:

Noisier than usual – A loud AC unit is annoying, but also a sign that you’ll need an air conditioner replacement soon. As your AC unit gets older, certain parts that run the electricity through the unit get old. The older parts then make more noise than they did when they were new. Sometimes the older parts in your AC unit can be replaced, but other times it makes more sense to just replace the unit.

The electric bill has significantly increased – If you notice a dramatic change in your electric bill, you should have a professional come look at your AC unit. No one wants to pay extra money for electricity to have an AC unit doing the same amount of work as before it was broken. A professional will be able to determine if you need an air conditioner replacement.

Inconsistent temperatures – The temperature gauge in your AC unit should be consistent. However, if you notice inconsistencies, you should have an AC company come take a look at your AC unit. A professional will be able to analyze the issue and figure out if your unit can be repaired or if a replacement is necessary.
