As a homeowner one of the difficult decisions you’ll have to make is concluding whether your system is in longing of an AC repair or if it’s time for a replacement system. A new AC is a huge investment, but so is the value of continually repairing a system that is in need of replacement. There are a few signs that it may be time to pause repairing and peek into replacing.
- The Age of Your System
If your air conditioner is between 10-15 years old, it’s probably time to start considering a replacement system. An AC made today will be more energy efficient, which will save you money in the long run and you won’t have to worry about being left to sweat it out during those heated summer months.
- Frequent Breakdowns
Occasional repairs may happen, but if your air conditioner is breaking down numerous times a season, it’s probably time to initiate looking into a replacement. The money you’re putting into your old system could be used to invest in a new, high-efficiency system.

Look at your bill and compare your energy usage this year to last year. A high increase in your consumption could be a sign that it’s time for a new system. As system’s age they have to try harder and that requires more energy.
