When Is It Time To Replace Your Air Conditioner

air conditioner replacement

Noisy duct work, stale air and/or warm spots should get your attention. They're all strong signs that you're in need of a prompt service call. At times, it's best to go with the cost of complete or partial replacement over repairs.

There are 3 basic areas to consider when making that decision. Take a close look at the efficiency, operation and maintenance aspects to help you determine if a scheduled ac replacement should be on your agenda.

Optimum Efficiency Will Save You Money Over Time

Hesitating to replace an ac unit that's no longer capable of running efficiently is like postponing the chance to save money. In fact, it's even worse - it's costing you more to continue to operate it. How do you know when you're air conditioning is inefficient? One huge sign post is when your energy costs creep up as your comfort level swoops down. You know there's something seriously wrong when you just don't get the cool environment that you're paying for.

Modern AC Units Bring Greater Savings

The most popular residential ac units today can reduce energy consumption by up to 50% while delivering optimum cooling. The older your cooling system is, the greater your energy savings are apt to be with an ac change out.

Today's commercial cooling options include ac systems that give you maximum temperature and energy-saving control. Electronic panels make it easy to include or exclude rooms and entire zones. Programmable timing delivers cool comfort when and where you need it, saving even more energy and money when you don't.

Repairs Over Time Can Cost More Than Replacement

When your existing air conditioning unit requires frequent service calls, it doesn't take long for the expenses to add up. Even a few repairs each year can put a dent in the overall operating budget. Professional ac replacement lowers energy consumption and cost, while delivering greater repair-free operating time.

Selecting The Best Replacement AC

It's extremely important to have the right capacity for your structure's needs. Selecting a unit that's too-high capacity will wreak havoc with humidity control. Choosing a too-low capacity unit will leave you sweltering when the temperatures soar.

Aside from selecting the most appropriate air conditioning unit for your needs, it has to be installed in the best location, have the right type and amount of insulation and professionally mapped-out and installed duct work.

Once you decide to change up your air conditioning components, we'll help you to select the equipment that will fill your specific cooling requirements. We'll keep you in the comfortably cool zone and comfortably within your replacement budget.

Call us and let us know what you are looking for and our experienced technicians will visit your home or business and conduct a proper inspection of your current system, recommend available suitable upgrades and provide an all-inclusive estimate.

Advantages Of Planning Ahead For Your AC Change Out

Planning ahead for your ac change out gives you plenty of time to consider all of the available options after a thorough inspection of your current system. It's best to avoid having to decide on a replacement unit after your existing one either fails completely or is gasping its last breath and can't function adequately to keep up with the demand for cool air.

You've heard of Mr. Murphy. His law says that your inefficient, struggling ac equipment is going to give up when you need it the most - the hottest, most humid days! That's when there's a surge of procrastinators calling in for urgent repairs.

To make sure that you don't have an extended wait to get back into the comfort zone in your home or work place, beat the rush by contacting us now to discuss your plans to update or replace your air conditioner. To learn more about services our company offers, please visit our homepage.

Maintenance

As Benjamin Franklin said, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
