Knowing When It's Time To Replace Your Heating And Air Conditioning System

By Carolyn Collins


Your air conditioner plays a crucial role in keeping your home comfortable throughout the year. While proper maintenance is crucial in extending the lifespan of your unit, you will eventually have to replace it at some point. Understanding the signs that will indicate when your Jackson heating and air conditioning unit has reached the end of its life can help you know when the time comes to invest in an upgrade.

On average, residential air conditioners have a lifespan of between 10 and 15 years. So if you've had yours for a decade or so, now is the time to start shopping for a suitable replacement. Although the upgrade will be quite the expensive exercise, it will end up saving you money in the long run.

Like is the case with everything else in your home, the performance of your AC unit will naturally decline over time. Eventually, it will reach a point where it's no longer able to keep your home comfortable as it once did. Such performance declines are often accompanied by noisy operation. If your air conditioner has been giving you sleepless nights of late, why not give yourself a break by getting an upgrade?

Whenever your air conditioner shows signs of malfunctioning, you'll naturally start thinking how you're going to have it repaired. But if the equipment starts breaking down so often that it causes you endless headaches, replacing it with a more reliable system would be more prudent. A brand new installation will save you on the cost of frequent service repairs and give you peace of mind as well.

If your power bills have been increasing of late without a corresponding rise in air conditioner usage, this could be a sign that your AC needs to be replaced. While your unit requires a lot of energy to do its job properly, it shouldn't be so much that your electricity bills start causing you headaches. There's not much you can do to make an aging HVAC unit more efficient and, as such, investing in a modern system would be your best option.

During a typical AC installation process, technicians will usually take measurements to determine what size of equipment would best suit the particular household. This means your current system was recommended based on your home's original size and layout. So if you have recently increased the square footage or are thinking about it, plan on how you'll replace your air conditioning system as well.

Upgrading to a newer air conditioner equipped with some smart features can not only make your home more comfortable, but also save you money as well. Some modern units have programmable thermostats that automatically switch the system on and off at specific times. With such technologies, you have an enhanced ability to control your home's indoor temperature.

Even with proper maintenance, you'll inevitably reach a point where you'll start seeing signs that your air conditioner is on its last leg. If any of these issues sound familiar, don't wait too long for your AC system to suddenly stop working on a cold winter night. Make an appointment with a local air conditioning contractor so they can help you find a better replacement before you face an emergency.
