When Do I Need a New A/C Unit
1. Age: If your A/C unit is more than 10-15 years old, it may be time to consider a replacement. Older units are often less efficient and more prone to breakdowns.
2. Frequent breakdowns: If your A/C unit requires frequent repairs or has been breaking down more often than usual, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than continue to pay for repairs.
3. Rising energy bills: If you notice a steady increase in your energy bill even though you aren't changing your usage habits, your A/C unit may be losing efficiency and struggling to cool your home.
4. Uneven cooling: If some rooms in your home are consistently warmer than others, despite adjustments to your thermostat, your A/C unit may be struggling to distribute cool air evenly.
5. Strange noises: If your A/C unit is making strange noises such as grinding, squealing, or rattling, it may be a sign that it's time to replace it.
6. Freon leaks: If your A/C unit uses Freon refrigerant and is leaking, it may be time to replace it. Freon is being phased out due to its harmful effect on the environment, and the cost of Freon is increasing rapidly.
