Air Conditioner Replacement
Struggling with your current air conditioner or making constant repairs is not likely to bring you the performance or cooling you need in your home. Additionally, replacing an air conditioning system is a big undertaking that requires expert knowledge of both mechanical and electrical systems; unless you have this kind of knowledge, it’s always best to hire a professional who brings training, expertise, and experience to each job.

Replacing Your AC: A Great Opportunity
Many homeowners tend to look at air conditioner replacement
in a negative light, but it is actually a great opportunity for you and your home. Why? For starters, you can gain better energy efficiency. Most likely, your current air conditioner is at least 10 years old or older; as such, there’s a good chance that it has a SEER rating lower than the minimum standard, which is 13. This is because the federal law changed in 2006, upping the standard SEER rating from 10 to 13. Every point higher on the SEER ratings can equal savings in energy, which will translate directly to your home’s monthly energy bills.
Another reason air conditioner replacement is a great opportunity is that it allows you to choose a new air conditioning system that may work better for your home than your current one. The options for whole-home cooling have increased significantly, giving homeowners a chance to install an air conditioner replacement that meets all their needs.
Reliability can become a huge issue with an aging air conditioner. Many of our customers have had the experience of walking into a hot, stuffy home when cool air was expected – this isn’t exactly the experience a homeowner wants after a long day at work. On the other side of the coin, you may have frequent repairs, costly repairs, or both, which at some point may add up to the cost of a new system. Why nurse along with an ailing system when you can install an air conditioner replacement that will be both reliable and durable?
The Age of Your Air Conditioner Matters
Constant repairs should always be a factor when considering the replacement of your existing AC, as is reliability, but there’s another factor that weighs just as heavily: age. The simple fact is, no air conditioner lasts forever. Most air conditioners have a lifespan of about 10–12 years, and heat pumps have an average lifespan of about 15 years. As your air conditioner approaches its maturity, components begin to breakdown; you may also be losing money monthly due to system inefficiency. Maintaining your system is very important, but maintenance does have its limits.
If your system has reached its maturity or even gone past it, it may be time to start looking at what an AC replacement can do for your home.
