When Should You Repair Your Air Conditioner and When Should You Replace It

Your聽AC聽is聽chugging聽away through another聽the U.S.聽summer and聽suddenly聽the cold聽air stops聽coming out. You call an聽A/C system聽professional聽to come聽to your home and聽evaluate the problem聽and聽before it's over聽you’re going to have to pay聽a chuck of change聽for the repair. So聽when do聽you聽give up聽and just聽replace聽your current聽A/C聽equipment?

Age

Obviously聽as your system ages聽it’s likely to聽fail聽and lose efficiency.聽A/C systems聽over聽eight聽years old are聽actually聽much less efficient than the聽new聽energy-efficient聽equipment聽available today.聽But聽if your聽equipment聽is more than聽13聽years old,聽you are probably going to聽lose聽more money over time to keep it聽running聽than if you just聽bought聽a new, energy-efficient聽A/C system.

Money

To聽continue with聽the聽statement above,聽eventually聽it’s going to聽begin costing聽more to聽invest in new聽parts and聽repair聽issues than it would to just聽invest in聽a new聽air conditioning system. Another聽factor聽to聽remember聽is聽R-22, the聽usual聽refrigerant for old聽A/C聽equipment, is being聽withdrawn from the market聽for the聽safety聽of the environment. If your聽air conditioning system聽was聽manufactured聽before 2010, you will聽soon聽see a聽jump聽in the聽price of聽your refrigerant until you聽replace your equipment.

Efficiency

Engineering聽is聽always聽developing聽and with that comes more energy-efficient聽A/C systems.聽New systems tend聽to cost less to聽operate聽because they聽are capable of cooling聽the home more efficiently,聽decreasing聽your聽utility聽bills Ð and who doesn’t聽enjoy聽that?
