5 Key Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Air Conditioner

The air conditioner is one of those things you probably don't think about so long as it's doing its job — and if it's not, you might not have the background knowledge and perspective to know how serious an issue is.

When is it time to replace the air conditioner instead of sinking money into repairs or maintenance? Technology is continually improving, but at what point does your unit become too old?

The HVAC experts at Guaranteed Service field these questions frequently, and here's how they summarize their answers. It's time to replace your air conditioner if it:

• Is more than 14 years old
• Uses expensive R22 Freon
• Needs frequent repairs
• Struggles to keep your home cool
• Runs nonstop
• Pushes your electric bills higher and higher summer after summer

The good news is that modern air conditioners are significantly more energy-efficient and are designed to last much longer, so the investment made now will pay dividends for years to come.

Guaranteed Service technicians will ensure you get the proper unit for the size of your home. It's fairly common for people to size the system incorrectly, which can lead to poor performance, higher utility bills, unhealthy mold, and damaged equipment. Guaranteed Service technicians also stand behind their work 100 percent, offering an extended parts and labor warranty on new installations.
