The weather is heating up and A&M Heating & Cooling LLC realizes 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 consider when establishing if you need a new air conditioner:
- How old is my system?
If your system is 10 to 15 years old, you may prefer to think about investing in a replacement air conditioner. The technology and efficiencies in HVAC systems have continued to evolve in recent years and there a lot of extra features that favor 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 plunge to a new system. However, if your system is requiring help 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 keep an eye on your monthly energy usage. And since temperatures do differ over the year, it’s a good idea to do once a year comparisons to get a more definite picture of how your energy usage has changed. If your system is laboring harder to produce the same results, it will result in higher energy consumption. - Do you notice a change in your home comfort?
