We are starting to see more and more glimpses that summertime is upon us. For most of us, that means we are making sure that our AC is up to the task of keeping us cool in the severe, Vegas heat. Part of that comes from properly maintaining your system. Another part comes from knowing when your AC is on the way out so that you can replace it with a newer, more efficient system. It is important for homeowners to know and look for the signs of a failing AC system so that they are stuck with one that isn’t working and a long wait to get a new one installed. LV Heating & Cooling is here to share some signs that indicate it’s time to replace your AC.
How to Know When to Replace Your AC
For most of us, we aren’t professional HVAC technicians that have endless knowledge about our cooling systems. This is why it is so important to share these signs of a failing AC.
– Age: The number one thing that homeowners need to know is the age of their cooling system. This is something that is overarching when it comes to AC replacement. The age of your unit is going to greatly impact when you replace it with a new one. As an AC gets older, there are many more problems that you can run into and then finally, failure completely. Most AC systems will last between 10-15 years before they need to be replaced.
– Constant Repairs: When it seems like you are being hit with one repair after another, it can leave you scratching your head. This is a common occurrence as your AC ages. You will find that repairs are needed more often. If you are struggling with what seems like constant problems with your AC, it might be time to contemplate replacing it with a new one.
– Costly Repairs: Another thing to consider when it comes to repairs is the cost of the repair that is needed. When you start having larger repairs that you’re dealing with, it can be more beneficial to replace the unit rather than dumping a large sum of money into a repair that will only limp it along for another year or so.
– Higher Energy Bills: As your unit ages, you may start to notice that your energy bills are getting higher and higher as well. This is due to the fact that it isn’t as efficient as it used to be. When you compare your current bills with the bills you had last year, you shouldn’t see a drastic increase. If you are, this is a sign that it’s time to replace your system.
