As long as your air conditioner seems to be functioning, you might not think about it often. However, if you’ve had your AC for 10 years or more, it might be time to consider replacing it. Here are a few of the benefits of hiring an HVAC contractor to install a new cooling system.

Why Replace Your Old AC Unit?

1. Increased Efficiency

An older air conditioner may not run as efficiently as it once did, and outdated models tend to use more energy. By switching to a more efficient unit with a high SEER® rating—20 and above—you can save on your energy bills and lower your environmental footprint. Ask your HVAC contractor for help to choose the best model for your needs. 

2. Better Air Quality

Your older unit may not filter these particles out efficiently, which can irritate allergies and lower your air quality. Newer units filter out these pollutants properly, so your family can breathe easy while running your cooling system. However, even with a newer unit, it’s still essential to change the filter at least once every three months.  

3. Improved Comfort

You might not realize it, but your old air conditioner may not be cooling your home as well as it should be. If you are fiddling with the thermostat often, it might be time for a new unit. An HVAC contractor can install an updated unit that cools each room evenly and makes your home more comfortable. They may also recommend updating to a smart thermostat to give you even more control over your home’s temperature.
