When to replace your air conditioner?<\/h2>\n

On average, air conditioning units last 10-15 years while HVAC systems last 15-20 years.\u00a0Your heating and cooling systems last longer when they are properly maintained, such as by cleaning the system’s filters and air ducts routinely<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When to replace your air conditioner depends on you begin to notice your cooling system is working less efficiently than before or when you notice your temperature is not properly adjusting. Be on the look out for the 7 troubling signs below and the possibility of a repair or replacement.<\/p>\n

How often to replace your AC unit?<\/h3>\n

Air conditioning units can last a surprisingly long time, but they can also break unexpectedly. You can expect to replace an AC unit every 10-15 years unless you experience problems with the unit.<\/p>\n

Be sure to keep up with maintenance<\/a> and proper storage of the unit once the weather becomes cold. Storing your AC unit in a cool, dry and less-trafficked location of your home will allow you to re-install the unit come spring. Repairing AC units requires an expert technician, so always rely on expert advice before replacing your AC unit.<\/p>\n

In cities like Erie, where seasonal temperature swings put added pressure on HVAC systems, even well-maintained units can wear out over time. Many homeowners explore a home warranty in Erie<\/a> to stay prepared for unexpected cooling system repairs.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

What are the 7 signs your air conditioner needs to be replaced?<\/h3>\n

1. You\u2019re not getting cold air.<\/h4>\n

Maybe it\u2019s obvious, but when you\u2019re not getting any cool air, there\u2019s probably something wrong with your AC. From low Freon levels to a broken compressor, any number of issues could be a factor. Call in a professional, or if you have a home warranty with Select, make a claim<\/a>. There\u2019s no need to wait to beat the heat. If the repair is extensive, you may be looking at a replacement instead.<\/p>\n

2. The air flow isn\u2019t all that great.<\/h4>\n

So maybe you\u2019re getting cool air throughout your home, but you\u2019ve noticed that your AC isn\u2019t pushing air out the way it used to. This could mean any number of things, including issues with your AC\u2019s compressor or blocked\/damaged vents. While it\u2019s possible to have a professional manage these repairs, they can be quite expensive depending on your system\u2019s age and the extent of the issue. When the costs get too high, you might want to consider the cost for a new unit.<\/p>\n

3. You\u2019ve found moisture and leakage around the unit.<\/h4>\n

While condensation around an air conditioner is normal, excessive leakage can represent a much larger problem. If you have an issue with a refrigerant leak or notice large pools of water around your AC unit, you may have a serious issue that need to be addressed right away. Leaking coolant can pose a health risk to you and your family, and excessive water leakage can damage floors or furniture and may even lead to mold growth. Call in an expert ASAP!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

4. You\u2019re hearing unusual sounds you haven\u2019t heard before.<\/h4>\n

Did you hear a loud grinding sound coming from your AC? How about rattling, banging, squealing, and other noises that just don\u2019t seem right? Turn off your AC system and get an expert out to look at it as soon as you can. These noises often reflect a serious issue \u2013 such as a belt slipping out of place or broken motor bearings \u2013 that could lead to a costlier repair or need for replacement if not addressed immediately.<\/p>\n

5. Some zones aren\u2019t cooled (aka the thermostat isn\u2019t working).<\/h4>\n

Occasionally, issues with your AC system aren\u2019t about the main cooling unit, but your thermostat. A broken thermostat may prevent the system from effectively cooling any given area in your home or apartment. If the other rooms feel fine and the issue is contained to a single zone, it may be worth having a professional check your thermostats to see if they\u2019re culprit. If so, you might be lucky enough to have to replace a thermostat or two instead of replacing the whole system.<\/p>\n

6. You\u2019ve had it for more than 10-15 years.<\/h3>\n

The average AC system lasts about 10 to 15 years. If your system is older than that, congratulations! You got a great return on your investment. However, with newer models focusing on energy efficiency, you may save money in the long run through an upgrade. When your older system breaks down, consider it an opportunity to upgrade to a modern setup.<\/p>\n

7. Your AC system needs frequent repairs.<\/h3>\n

Eventually, if you find yourself paying to have the same system repaired repeatedly, it may be time to throw in the towel. Sooner or later, it\u2019ll be more cost effective to simply replace it. After all, repairs not covered under a home warranty can be incredibly costly.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n
