Is It Time to Replace Your Air Conditioner?
If your air conditioner has been maintained by an HVAC professional, but has become unreliable or provides substandard cooling it is time to consider a replacement. An older air conditioner may run smoothly and still provide comfortable cooling, but if it is over 10 to 15 years old, it will probably need replacement soon. Older air conditioners are not as energy efficient as newer models, and quality parts may become increasingly scarce. If your air conditioner has been delivering cooling for over 15 years, investing in a replacement will save you money on energy consumption and prevent the risk of suddenly losing your comfort to a failure.
Reasons to Replace Your Air Conditioner
Greater Energy-Efficiency
Air conditioners have become 20 to 40% more energy-efficient in the last decade, according to the US Department of Energy. Choosing an air conditioner with a higher seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) will lower your energy consumption, providing monthly savings that will pay for your AC replacement over time. Newer air conditioners have features to provide economical cooling, like air filter replacement reminders and efficient operation at high-temperatures.
Increased Reliability
A well-maintained air conditioner typically provides reliable cooling for at least 10 years. You can count on your air conditioner to turn on when you set your thermostat to cool and deliver comfortable cooling throughout your home or business. When an air conditioner is over 10 years old, it may overheat or cycle when you need cooling the most.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Older air conditioners require more maintenance to keep them running smoothly. If your old air conditioner requires frequent refrigerant recharges the costs can add up quickly. Rust and corrosion on the outdoor condenser unit can allow pests to nest in your AC during the winter, and result in expensive cleanup and damages. Replacing your air conditioner and following an annual maintenance plan will keep your maintenance costs as low as possible.
Access to Quality Replacement Parts
Repairing an air conditioner that has been discontinued for some time can be expensive and may require aftermarket parts. A recently manufactured air conditioner will have reasonably priced parts from top brands available for long-lasting repairs. Before 2010, air conditioners used R-22 refrigerant, which has since been phased out by the EPA. If your air conditioner uses R-22, it will become increasingly difficult to recharge your AC. New air conditioners use environmentally friendly and available refrigerants like R-410A.
