Common Signs You Should Replace Your AC Unit
The HVAC System Is Outdated
Once your AC unit reaches 15 years old, it’s time to consider replacing it with a newer system. Old HVAC systems are more likely to fail unexpectedly, making purchasing a faster, updated system a wise choice. Additionally, older air conditioners are usually powered by R22 Freon – a type of refrigerant. However, this refrigerant is banned today. Studies have discovered that R22 Freon is toxic and leads to environmental contamination.
If your system is outdated or powered by this freon, we recommend replacing your unit. A new air conditioning unit can be more environmentally friendly, safe to use, and less costly to repair than a unit using banned refrigerant. If you suspect your AC unit is outdated, do not hesitate to contact Cook’s Air Conditioning & Heating Specialists to discuss the possibility of HVAC replacements.
The AC Unit Requires Frequent Repairs
It’s a fact: older AC units need more repairs and maintenance to function properly. Unfortunately, this constant upkeep can quickly become expensive. When the cost of your repairs exceeds the price of a new air conditioner installation, you might want to save your money by replacing your air conditioner.
Your Utility Bill Is Excessive
Older air conditioning units are not very efficient. An old HVAC system might unnecessarily strain and overwork itself in order to produce the cooling effect that you desire. This can not only damage your unit, but it can also run up your electricity bill as well. If your AC unit is leading to expensive utility bills, call Cook’s Air Conditioning & Heating Specialists.
