Reasons Why You Should Replace Your Old AC Unit
Several factors should be considered when deciding between repair or replacement for an old air conditioner. Here are some reasons why replacing your existing unit could be the better choice:
Cost-Effective Solution: Repairs might be expensive depending on how much damage a system has sustained and if parts need to be replaced. Modern versions have energy-saving features that cut monthly rates and increase efficiency so that a new installation may save you money. Many energy companies offer rebates for Energy Star-certified equipment, which could lead to significant savings.
Improved Performance & Efficiency: Older models need more maintenance than newer ones with energy-efficient features (EER). A new system will work better with no regular repairs or replacements due to worn parts or age-related issues like refrigerant leakage, which often plague older systems.
Longer Lifespan & Warranty Coverage: If routine maintenance isn't done at least once a year, an air conditioner's lifespan can drop to 10-15 years, depending on climate and temperature changes (twice during peak seasons). Most manufacturers offer 5–10 years guarantees, covering issues directly related to materials used during production, like compressor failures caused by corrosion due to improper manufacturing techniques.
# What To Look For In A New Air Conditioner System
Before investing in a new unit, specific criteria should always be considered before making any significant decisions regarding replacements/repairs, including but not limited too:
Size & Layout Of Space: The size and layout of each space must first be evaluated to determine specific requirements needed for efficient operation; larger areas require powerful systems capable of producing enough BTU's circulate cool air evenly area while smaller areas don't require the same level power output order to achieve desired results.
Budgetary Restrictions: Knowing exactly how much money is available to spend also plays an important role in helping decide whether to replace the existing system, purchase a newer model, and consider the cost of labor required to purchase necessary components before making the final decision.
SEER Rating: SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio rating given based amount of energy consumed to produce a one-watt cooling capacity. A higher SEER number shows a more efficient product performing tasks under varying temperatures, meaning lower bills for electricity month after month!
