When to Get a New AC Unit Installed
Many of the people who call us for help with AC services aren’t sure if they should get their AC unit repaired, or if they should get it replaced with a newly installed system. There are definitely times when repairs make more sense, but there are also times when an installation will be more cost-effective. We can help you make that decision confidently.
Here are a few signs that you should install a new AC unit:
- 10 years or older: The typical AC unit has a 10 year lifespan. After that point, the manufacturer’s warranty will likely be expired and parts will start wearing down from normal use. At 10 years, you should start to consider getting an AC system replacement. At 15 years, though, it should definitely be done.
- Inefficiency: Does it take a while for your air conditioner to actually cool down your house when you switch it on? An inefficient system makes for an uncomfortable living space. You can correct it quickly by getting a newly installed AC unit. Then, protect its efficiency with routine maintenance.
- High energy bills: Along the same lines of inefficiency, you might need to get a new AC unit if you notice your energy bills keep rising. As your air conditioner wears down, it will consume more power to perform the same job as before.
- Frequent repairs: If you keep calling our Spring AC technicians to perform repairs, then we will probably recommend that you get a new system instead to save you money in the long run. We offer special financing options to qualifying customers to help flex your finances.
- R22 Freon use: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated the discontinuance of R22 Freon, which older machines use as a refrigerant. You can keep using your Freon-based AC unit. However, in 2020, it will be incredibly difficult and likely expensive to find Freon refills.
Why AC Size Matters
Whether you’ve outgrown your old air conditioner or need to replace a broken one, finding the right sized AC is important is important to both your comfort and your wallet. An oversized air conditioner will cool a room too quickly, causing the unit to short-cycle. This puts undue wear and tear to the system. If the AC is too small, it won’t cool the home properly.
So how do you find the right fit for you? Air conditioners are measured by British Thermal Units (BTU). Consumer reports recommends having 20 BTUs per square foot of the living space (whether it’s a single room or a whole house). For example, 6,000 BTUs would be enough for a 150 sq. foot space but you’d need at least 34,000 BTUs for a 2,500 sq. foot area.
If you’re not sure what size AC you need, turn to our skilled technicians. We’ll help you figure out which unit is right for you and provide reliable Spring AC installation.
