When to Replace Your Air Conditioner
Eventually, everything needs to be replaced – including your home’s HVAC system. While replacement is a big up-front investment, it may be the most cost-effective solution, especially if your system is old and tends to break down frequently.
Signs that it’s time to replace your AC system include:
- Your system is more than 10 years old – The average AC lasts for about 10 to 15 years. If your unit is older than 10 years, it will start breaking down more often.
- Frequent equipment breakdowns – As your AC gets older, it requires more effort to work at full capacity. It might be more cost-efficient to replace the unit with a new, energy-saving model.
- Expensive energy bills – If your energy bill continuously increases without you using more energy, your old AC might be at fault. Older systems require more energy to work like they once did.
- Inefficient operation – If your AC fails to cool your home or just doesn’t work the way it used to, it’s time to install a new AC system.
Types of Air Conditioning Installations
You have several different options to cool your home effectively. The right choice depends on your home’s layout, existing ductwork, and cooling needs.
Central Air Conditioning Systems
Central air conditioning systems keep the entire house cool, which makes the hottest months of the year more comfortable. If you are looking into replacing an existing central air conditioning system and have existing ductwork, this may be the best option for your home and budget.
Ductless Mini-Split Systems
If your home doesn’t have ductwork already installed or you only want to add air conditioning to a few areas, a ductless mini-split system may be the best option for you. These wall-mounted units offer several advantages:
- Cheaper installation costs – You avoid the expense of installing ductwork throughout your home.
- Less noise – Ductless heat pumps offer a more quiet solution to heating and air conditioning. They are relatively silent, often emitting half the decibels compared to traditional HVAC units and ductwork.
- More energy efficient – Since these units don’t lose treated air to duct leaks and let you control which rooms receive what temperature, they’re more energy efficient. This means you’ll spend less on energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
