4 Clear Signs You Need a New Air Conditioner
Your house relies on noisy window units
Window units cool one room at a time and run up your power bill in the process. Central HVAC covers every room from a single unit, and the monthly energy savings are usually significant. Running multiple window units is a costly workaround that a residential installer can help you move past.
You just finished a home addition or garage conversion
Your existing system was sized for your original floor plan. A new addition means new square footage that your old unit probably can’t reach. A properly sized new system will keep every corner comfortable without overworking itself.
Your cooling equipment uses banned R-22 Freon
R-22 production ended in 2020, and the refrigerant still in circulation is expensive. That price won’t come down. Repairs on an R-22 system start costing more than the equipment is worth pretty fast. An air conditioning replacement puts you on a current refrigerant standard and stops the cycle of costly repairs.
Your summer power bills look higher than ever
An aging system works harder to hit your thermostat setting, and you pay for every bit of that extra effort. Steady increases in your power bill with no obvious explanation usually point back to the cooling system.
