The weather is heating up and Fleming Heating & Air Conditioning Inc realizes you want to make sure you keep comfortable all summer long. So, if your air conditioner isn’t running well, how do you know whether to make the investment toward repairs or purchasing a new system?
Here are some questions you should contemplate when determining if you need a new air conditioner:
- How old is my system?
If your system is 10 to 15 years old, you may choose to contemplate buying a replacement air conditioner. The technology and efficiencies in HVAC systems have continued to develop in recent years and there a lot of added features that benefit your home and wallet. - How often are the breakdowns occurring?
If your repairs have been infrequent, it may not make sense to take the plunge to a new system. However, if your system is requiring repairs on a more frequent basis, you are putting considerable cash into fixing a system that may not be working properly. - Have you noticed an increase in your energy usage?
It’s a good idea to monitor your monthly energy usage. And since temperatures do change throughout the year, it’s a good idea to do yearly comparisons to get a more definite picture of how your energy usage has changed. If your system is running harder to achieve the same results, it will result in higher energy expenditure. - Do you notice a change in your home comfort?
