Should I Replace My Air Conditioner This Spring?
The days are already starting to heat up, and the warmest months of the year are not far off. Spring is the time when most people start to get their air conditioning systems in order, making sure that they’re in the best possible shape before summer starts. For some people, though, making sure that their homes are properly air conditioned will take more than a simple checkup. If you aren’t sure whether or not your air conditioner can make it through another summer, read on to find out.
Operating Costs
The cost of operating your air conditioner is going to rise and fall as your demand does. However, over time the wear and tear on the system will reach a point where it starts to affect the efficiency of the system. The air conditioner will have to operate for longer periods of time in order to compensate for the loss of efficiency, which will in turn drive up costs. If your air conditioner is costing more and more to operate month to month, you should talk to a professional about installing a new one.
Rising Repairs
An air conditioner shouldn’t need repairs more than a handful of times throughout its life. Most of those times, though, are going to be concentrated towards the end of its lifespan. As the wear on the system mounts, various parts are going to start failing in rapid succession. This will lead to repairs being necessary every few months, rather than every few years. If you have to keep repairing different parts of your air conditioner multiple times a year, it’s a good sign that you need to have a new air conditioner installed.
