The weather is heating up and Bell Air Conditioning Inc understands you want to make sure you keep comfortable all summer long. So, if your air conditioner isn’t running correctly, how do you know whether to make the investment toward repairs or purchasing a new system?
Here are some questions you should contemplate when deciding if you need a new air conditioner:
- How old is my system?
If your system is 10 to 15 years old, you may choose to contemplate investing in a replacement air conditioner. The technology and efficiencies in HVAC systems have continued to develop in recent years and there many extra features that benefit your home and wallet. - How often are the breakdowns occurring?
If your repairs have been few and far between, it may not make sense to take the jump to a new system. However, if your system is requiring repairs on a more frequent basis, you are putting a lot of money into fixing a system that may not be functioning properly. - Have you noticed an increase in your energy usage?
It’s a good idea to monitor your monthly energy usage. And since temperatures do differ throughout the year, it’s a good idea to do once a year comparisons to get a more definite account of how your energy usage has changed. If your system is running harder to accomplish the same results, it will result in higher energy use. - Do you notice a change in your home comfort?
