How Can I Tell My AC Is Broken or Not Working Properly?
Scheduling AC maintenance is a great way to stay ahead of potential cooling system breakdowns, but there are some issues that may not be preventable, especially on older units. Be on the lookout for the following AC repair warnings signs:
- Strange rattles, squeaks or unusual noises from your AC
- The unit doesn’t turn on or off when it should or it short cycles (turning off and on in rapid succession)
- You notice leaking near the AC compressor (the outdoor section of your AC)
Should I Replace My AC Instead of Getting It Repaired?
Even well-maintained air conditioners don’t last forever, and that may be a good thing in the long run. Cooling technology is constantly progressing, and more efficient systems are being released every year. Older systems consume far more energy and may become increasingly inefficient as the age, leading to higher utility bills. Breakdowns may also become more frequent and expensive as the unit gets older. It may be time to look at purchasing a new air conditioner if:
- Your AC is more than 10 years old
- You still have a system that utilizes the old R-22 refrigerant
- Repairs and maintenance aren’t having a positive effect on performance or energy usage
- Your system simply isn’t providing the cooling performance you want
You may experience a variety of benefits from AC replacement, including:
If you’ve experienced more than one AC breakdown recently and your system is on the old side, now may be the time to upgrade to a better, more efficient AC. We can give you options for both air conditioner repair and air conditioner replacement.
