When Should You Replace Your AC System?
If your air conditioner is more than 10 to 15 years old or experiencing ongoing issues, replacing it may be more cost-effective than continuing to repair it. Here are signs that it may be time for a new AC system:
- System runs constantly but fails to cool effectively
- Frequent or costly breakdowns
- Rising monthly energy costs
- Uneven temperatures throughout your home
- Loud or unusual noises
- Outdated refrigerant (such as R-22, which is no longer produced)
- Overall poor indoor air quality or airflow
We’ll assess your current system and give you honest advice on whether repair or replacement is the best option.
