Sign That It's Time for an Air Conditioning Replacement
The last thing homeowners want to deal with in the middle of the summer is an unexpected AC breakdown. As your unit ages, it will usually show signs when it needs repair or is ready to be replaced.
- If your AC is more than 10-15 years old and running into problems, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than repair it.
- Frequent and costly repairs can indicate that your AC is reaching the end of its lifespan. Investing in a new unit helps you save on repair costs and enjoy reliable comfort.
- Decreased performance may be a sign that your AC is struggling to keep up. If you notice uneven temperatures and worsening indoor air quality, you may want to consider a replacement.
- Rising energy costs are common as your unit ages and becomes less energy efficient. Upgrading to a new energy-efficient unit can help reduce utility costs.
We recommend keeping an eye out for performance issues and consulting with an Island Breeze professional to determine if it's time to replace your air conditioner. Our team will walk you through repair and replacement options to help you know when it's time for a new unit.
What to Consider Before Purchasing a New AC
A new air conditioner is no small investment! Before deciding on a new unit, homeowners should consider what they want and need from an air conditioner to narrow down the search.
We recommend working with a professional to determine your home's capacity requirements. The wrong-sized AC will struggle to keep your home cool and drive up energy costs.
Take time to consider your budget and energy efficiency goals. Utilizing financing options is an easy way to get what you need without compromising your budget.
Look into available warranties and consider enrolling in a maintenance plan to ensure your new investment runs smoothly for as long as possible.
HVAC Maintenance FAQS
How much is an AC replacement?
The cost of AC replacement varies depending on the size and kind of the unit, the complexity of the installation, and any extra components required. AC replacement for a normal residential home might cost between $3,000 and $7,000, or more. Larger or more energy-efficient units, as well as any required ducting changes, might raise the total cost. It is best to seek several quotes from trustworthy HVAC providers to get a more precise cost.
What size air conditioner do I need for my home?
The size of the air conditioner you need for your home depends on several factors, including the square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, and climate. A common rule of thumb is to use 20 BTUs (British Thermal Units) per square foot of living space. However, it’s best to have a professional perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact size needed. An AC unit that is too large or too small can lead to inefficiency, higher costs, and uneven cooling.
