How to Know When to Replace an AC System
Most air conditioning systems last about 10 to 15 years with regular maintenance. But even the best units don’t last forever. If your AC is showing signs of age or struggling to keep up with your cooling needs, it might be time to consider a replacement.
Here are some common signs it’s time to install a new AC system:
- Frequent Breakdowns: If you’re calling for repairs more than once a season, you’re probably spending more money patching up an old unit than you would on a new, efficient system.
- Rising Energy Bills: Older AC systems lose efficiency over time. If your cooling costs are going up without a clear explanation, your system may be working harder than it should.
- Uneven Cooling: Hot spots, poor airflow, or rooms that never seem to get cool could mean your system is no longer performing properly.
- System Age: If your AC is over 10–15 years old, it’s likely using outdated technology that costs more to operate and doesn’t cool as well as today’s high-efficiency models.
- Loud Noises or Strange Smells: Grinding, rattling, or musty odors are often signs of failing components inside your unit.
At 1st Choice A/C, Heating, Plumbing & Gas, LLC, we’ll inspect your current system and give you honest feedback. If a replacement is the right call, we’ll help you choose a solution that gives you reliable comfort, better efficiency, and lasting value.
