Should I Replace My Air Conditioner Before Summer Starts?

A typical summer in Ingleside TX brings daily high temperatures between 88°F and 94°F and a lot of humidity. Residents depend on their air conditioners in summer — a lot. But maybe you've noticed your inside air conditions declining over the last few summers. Could that mean this year is the time to switch out your air conditioning unit before summer arrives? Here are some signs that it is.

It’s between 10 and 15 years old

Most air conditioning systems keep working for as long as 10 or 15 years. As they get older, they start to become more inefficient. If your system’s older than 10 years and you’re noticing some issues, consider full air conditioning replacement. If it’s more than 15 years old, it’s safe to assume it needs to be replaced.

It’s costing a lot to use

As older air conditioning systems experience normal wear and tear, they have to work harder and longer to keep up with your home’s needs. You’ll see the results of this decreased energy efficiency in higher utility bills. If your energy bills over the last couple of summers were higher than you’d like, now might be the time to replace the unit.

Breakdowns happen more often

A good air conditioning system typically needs repairs no more than once or twice during its life. If breakdowns are starting to happen every few months, the window on your air conditioning system’s usefulness may be closing.

Air quality is worse

In most places, hot summer air conditions are at least a little more harmful in terms of pollutants. Air conditioning units help keep inside air clean, but the older they get, the less they work. This summer may be the time for you to replace yours.
