Should You Replace Your AC Unit This Spring? | Comfort Zone
April 4, 2016

We’ve written during the last few weeks about how important it is that you schedule air conditioning maintenance this spring before the hot weather arrives. Maintenance gives your home’s AC the best chance to make it through the summer without running into malfunctions that will require emergency repairs. It also helps the air conditioner run without wasting energy.

However, at a certain point in an air conditioner’s life, maintenance and repairs will no longer be able to stop the decline due to years of wear and tear. In that case, the air conditioner should be replaced. How will you know that you should schedule an air conditioner replacement this spring?

Ask your technician during maintenance

One of the easiest ways to determine that your current AC is no longer worth keeping is to ask an expert about it. When you schedule spring HVAC maintenance, ask the technician after the inspection and tune-up for an expert opinion about system performance. The technician will give you an honest and informed opinion about the system’s expected lifespan and if a replacement is a more cost-effective choice than to continue with repairs.

Bills for repairs are mounting

Look over your bills for all the repairs the air conditioner has needed over the last few years. Have you spent $500 or more in one year to keep the cooling system running? That’s too high. And any single repair that costs half of the price to replace the AC is also too high. It’s better to have a new system put in.

The air conditioner costs more to run than ever

A well-manufactured air conditioner, like one from Daiken, should retain 95% of its energy efficiency throughout most of its life. When the efficiency starts to drop steadily, causing bigger and bigger summer utility bills, it usually means that air conditioner is coming close to the end of its service. Putting in a new AC with superior energy efficiency will help you save money—and the installation should pay for itself in a short while.
