Air conditioning repair services can help extend the lifespan of your system. However, eventually, your system will need to be replaced if you want to guarantee your home has reliable access to cool air. Here are a few of the top signs that you need air conditioning replacement, not repair.

Signs You Need Air Conditioning Replacement, Not Repair

  • Your system is old. Most air conditioning systems can last 10 to 15 years with maintenance and repair services. If your system is older than 10 years, the time for replacement may be near. This ensures that your system is up to date, as newer systems are more efficient and reliable.
  • You need frequent repairs. Repairs should last a while, so if you find that your system is constantly in need of repair, you should consider air conditioning replacement. Frequent repairs on an older system aren’t as effective as they are on newer systems and may end up costing you more money than is necessary.
  • Your system struggles to cool your home. Sometimes a struggling air conditioning system can be repaired and then function properly, but if your system seems like it’s always running and still fails to keep your home cool, it has probably outlived its usefulness. A constantly running system is also energy inefficient, which means you’ll likely pay more money in energy costs for an unreliable system.
