Replacing your air conditioner is a blessing in disguise. If your air conditioner is having issues, there’s a good chance it’s an old model. Replacement is a great opportunity to switch to a more modern, high-savings unit. If you begin to notice any of these signs, it might be time to ask an HVAC contractor to swap your old system out for something that’ll save you some money.

Notice These 5 Issues? Time For a New AC

1. Rising Energy Payments

HaveHVAC Contractor you noticed a rising energy bill over the past few years? As air conditioning units age, they become less efficient, requiring more energy for the same amount of cooling. If you’re suspicious of your AC, have an HVAC contractor assess it. It could be wasting your money. An ENERGY STAR®-certified system could save you up to 40% on your cooling-related energy expenses.

2. Frequent, Expensive Repairs

If you’re calling the HVAC contractor too often, you should start to wonder how the cost of all those repairs stacks up against just replacing your AC. It’s certainly not saving you any money, whereas a new one could.

3. Bad Smells

AC systems with ducts are prone to growing bacteria and mold. These decrease your home’s air quality and produce an offensive odor. Replacing your AC won’t just get rid of the smell: many newer systems come with built-in air purification systems, actively filtering these contaminants as well as dust, pollen, and other debris.

4. Breakdowns

Many aging AC units will break down despite all your efforts. This is a sign that the problems are deeper than an HVAC contractor can affordably repair. Be sure to have your unit replaced before the summer arrives.

5. Old Age

In many cases, all of these issues can be attributed to old age. Most central air systems become inefficient and issue-prone after 10 years of operation. An old unit is just losing you money — if you know it’s inefficient, it’s time to call the HVAC contractor about a replacement.
