Signs That It’s Time for a New Air Conditioning System

Most of the time, problems with the AC can be fixed with a repair job. But nothing lasts forever, and an air conditioning system is no different. Here are the signs for property owners to watch for, letting them know that it’s time for something new: 

• Age: The average central air conditioning unit is built to last about 10 to 15 years. Once it’s in that age window, it’s important to keep a careful eye out for problems. It’s also a good idea to monitor how much is spent on repairs. Just like a car, your HVAC systems will also reach a point where it’s just financially more efficient to go with a newer model. 
• Higher Energy Bills: Systems lose their efficiency as they age, and that means they work harder to deliver the same amount of cool air to the home or business. Working harder means using up more energy, which leads to higher monthly costs.

• Bad Air Quality: When an air conditioning system gets older and starts to break down, it may start to absorb dust, dirt, and other particles. The result is all of that being distributed throughout the home or office space. If there are people living or working there with respiratory problems, this can become an immediate health issue. Otherwise, healthy people may develop those same problems. This becomes a liability risk for a business, and for a home, it risks the health of loved ones.
