Knowing when to fix your Frisco, TX, air conditioner and when to start fresh with a new system can be difficult. Of course, our technicians are happy to walk you through the process and provide you with the information you need to make the best choice. In the meantime, read through these common warning signs that it may be time to invest in an AC replacement.
1. Restricted Airflow
When your air conditioner gets older, it may struggle to keep up with the demands of cooling your home. Even with routine maintenance and all necessary repairs, the system as a whole may be too worn down to provide sufficient airflow to the entire house.
2. Decreased Efficiency
Seeing your cooling costs rise throughout the spring and summer is a good indication of a worn-out air conditioner. As the system ages, producing the same output may require more energy. When this happens, you’ll pay more to cool your home and may be better off opting for an AC replacement.
3. High Cost of Repairs
Frequent repair calls point to the need for a new AC. If you find yourself on the phone with us for breakdowns frequently and your AC is creeping up in age, you may find it more economically feasible to replace the system entirely.
4. System Is Old
Your AC should last for around 12-15 years with regular maintenance. Once your system pushes past the 10-year mark, it’s wise to keep an eye on performance. Coupled with frequent breakdowns and decreased efficiency, the age of your system is a good indicator of when it’s time to replace it.
