Nobody wants to wait until the AC unit goes out of control and needs to be replaced. If you ever wait until you reach that point, you’ll never have an AC that cools or heats your room at the time that you need it most. Don’t do guesswork of repairing it until it has been checked by a professional to prevent accidents like a fire. Once you experience major problems with your AC, call a qualified technician to check it. HVAC contractors know when it’s time to replace your AC unit. 

What are the advantages of replacing your AC system?

• One of the advantages is that you can save money on energy bills. You can save up to 20 per cent on electricity and another 20 per cent on your gas energy bills if you change the furnace or boiler.
• You’ll have peace of mind knowing that your system is in good condition when you need it most.
• You can sleep well knowing that your home and family are safe from risks because your cooling or heating system is working properly. Older systems have the risk of igniting when used heavily as compared to new equipment.

How HVAC contractors know if your HVAC equipment needs to be replaced

An AC which is already old must be replaced. The savings that you get from energy bills when you purchase a new AC is worth its cost. If you notice that your monthly energy bill is going up, buy a new energy-saving HVAC system. Another way HVAC contractors determine if the AC needs to be replaced is analyzing the room temperature. If it’s cold in certain areas of your home but warm in others, it’s time to replace it.

Another way to determine if it’s time to buy a new cooling system is when your unit starts making a loud noise. This is a major sign that your equipment is fastly deteriorating and about to fail. Prices of central ACs range from $3,000 – $7,000 depending on the brand, unit’s efficiency and size. Ductless mini split ACs range from $500 to $2,000 depending on BTU power and SEER.

Following the advice of HVAC contractors makes sense because it comes from a professional. You should never think that prolonging the life of your 10 – 15 year old AC is more practical than buying a new one. Get a brand new unit and save yourself from headaches.
