Signs Your AC Unit Needs an Upgrade
When our air conditioners begin to give us trouble, many homeowners believe they just need repair services. However, in some cases, a repair would simply be a band-aid to a much more serious issue that requires a full-on replacement. Some of the signs that your AC system needs an upgrade include:
- Old Age: Most air conditioners have an average lifespan of around 10 to 15 years of age. When our units begin to increase in age, the first thing to go is our unit’s efficiency. A malfunctioning air conditioner has to work ten times harder than a brand new unit and the result is often a steadily increasing energy bill.
- Frequent Repairs: Another sign that it’s time for a replacement unit is if you find yourself needing repair services often. A good rule of thumb when it comes to repairs is to never spend more than 50% of the cost of a new unit repairing an old one.
- Uneven Airflow: Another telltale sign that it’s time for an upgrade is if you notice certain rooms/areas in your home are warmer than others despite being set to the same temperature. If your AC is running but your bedroom feels like a sauna, this is a good indication that your system can no longer meet your cooling demands.
- Noisy Operation: While air conditioning systems are hardly ever completely silent, your AC shouldn’t be disrupting your life with its loudness. Sounds such as buzzing or rattling may indicate that your unit has loose or damaged internal components. Sounds such as grinding or whistling may signal that you have sediment buildup in your unit’s tank.
- Humidity Issues: A properly functioning AC system will be able to regulate humidity levels in your home and keep moisture levels between 30% and 50%. So if you notice you’re experiencing too much humidity or not enough moisture in the air, your AC unit may be to blame. For supplementary humidity management, call us today for humidifier and dehumidifier installation services.
Benefits of Routine AC Maintenance Services
Your home’s AC system is like a good relationship: it requires maintenance and attention. There are numerous benefits to ongoing, regular maintenance of your cooling system. Some of the benefits you can expect to reap with routine AC maintenance services include:
- Fewer repairs: Routine maintenance is the most effective preventative method you can do to ensure your cooling system is always operating properly. During your regular tune-ups, our contractors will be able to tighten up loose components and catch small problems before they become big ones.
- Increased energy efficiency: In today’s environment, energy efficiency is key. When our AC units aren’t working properly, they consume more energy than usual trying to keep up with your household’s cooling demands. This means more gas emitting into the atmosphere that may have unwarranted effects on the environment.
- Extended lifespan for your unit: Routine maintenance is also a great way to get the most out of your AC unit. By fixing small issues when they first occur, you can feel confident knowing your unit will be running smoother than ever.
- Lower energy bills: As we stated above, faulty systems consume more energy than usual meaning your energy bills will continue to increase as your energy consumption rate goes up. By making sure your system is in pristine condition, you will be saving money otherwise being thrown away at energy bills.
- Enhanced air quality: Another benefit you can expect to reap with routine maintenance is cleaner air. Over time, your unit can become clogged with dirt, debris, and other unwanted contaminants that have a negative impact on our air quality and our health. Professional maintenance will ensure your air filters are clean and also inspect your ductwork to make sure your air ducts are negatively affecting your home’s air quality.
