Telltale Signs Your AC You Need an AC Repair Appointment
Is your HVAC system a senior citizen?
The average life expectancy of most HVAC systems is around 10-15 years. Properly maintained systems with needed AC repairs made as needed will increase the lifespan of your system. Missing routine maintenance and prolonging needed AC repairs can cut the system lifespan quite dramatically. Aging HVAC systems will be less efficient and can require more frequent maintenance and repairs.
Frequent AC Repair
Systems that have had routine maintenance neglected often times require more frequent repair. The cost of these repairs can sometimes begin to approach the cost of a new AC system. In addition, a failing HVAC system is not as energy efficient and can cost more in utility bills.
An AC replacement can be a money-saving investment if your repairs are beginning to equate to the amount you have spent on repairs and loss of energy efficiency.
Loss of Efficiency
New HVAC systems are designed to be more energy efficient than their predecessors. Reducing utility bills is great for budget-minded homeowners. In addition to reducing energy consumption, newer HVAC systems greatly improve indoor air quality. Another perk to consider: opting for a newer system can even increase the value of your home.
