How To Know You Need AC Replacement
We know that air conditioner replacement can be daunting due to its upfront cost. Sometimes all you need is a repair, but that’s not always sufficient, depending on your problem. There are a variety of circumstances that indicate that air conditioning replacement is a better option for you. We’ve compiled a list of such scenarios so you can have an idea when to look into replacement:
- Over 15 Years Old: As an AC unit reaches the end of its lifespan, any problems you encounter may mean that replacement is a better option so you get an upgrade to a failing system.
- Increased Energy Bills: If you haven’t been running your AC more than usual, but your energy bills are spiking, that could mean your AC unit is losing efficiency.
- Frequent or Large Repairs: The general rule of thumb is if a repair costs more than half what a replacement would cost, it’s more cost-effective to replace the system. If you’re getting a lot of repairs done, those costs can also add up. In that case, it would be better to replace.
- Weird Noises: Banging or squealing sounds can mean there’s a problem with the compressor or additional worn out components of the system, which can be expensive to repair and might warrant a replacement.
If you’re still unsure if you need an air conditioner replacement or repair, contact our HVAC experts. We’ll help guide you to the right decision.
Types of Air Conditioning Installation
There are a few different types of systems that can be installed to cool your home. Here are the options we provide at Blaze Heating, Cooling, Electrical & Plumbing,
Central AC Systems
This system requires ductwork to be installed and then sends cool air through vents into each room. It’s one of the most popular kind of air conditioners due to its even distribution and ability to effectively cool large spaces.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps move heat around from inside your home to outside and vice versa to both heat and cool your home. Many of these units can use much of your existing ductwork to transfer the air.
Ductless Mini Splits
Ductless mini splits are a type of heat pump system that does not require any duct work. It uses a wall-mounted system to cool air with refrigerant, and requires minimal installation and maintenance.
Why Hire a Professional
You may want to try to save money by installing your air conditioner by yourself, but that’s not the best idea. Trained HVAC professionals can help choose the right size AC unit for your home, so it adequately cools the space and runs with the most efficiency. Additionally, there are many complex components to AC installation. If you don’t install the unit correctly, that could lead to inefficiency, which will increase the amount you’ll pay on your energy bills. We have all the tools and equipment we need to install your AC unit properly the first time, so you shouldn’t require repairs for a long time, saving you money.
