California Summers Require Reliable Cooling
The summer in Southern California can be overwhelmingly hot, and it’s important to have an effective air conditioning system in place to keep you and your family safe and healthy through times of extreme temperatures. If you’re having issues with your equipment, you should always have a professional assess the situation for needed repairs. However, depending on your unit, it may be time to invest in a replacement.
Replacing cooling or heating equipment can be daunting, and it’s important to work with experts to determine what’s best for your home. If you think it might be time for an air conditioner replacement, be sure to speak with a professional about next steps. Not sure if you’re ready to invest in a replacement? Read on for signs that it’s time to make the call!
Consider Your Equipment’s Lifespan
Age isn’t just a number when it comes to your cooling equipment. The older your air conditioner is, the more likely it is that you’re nearing time for a replacement. As your system ages, it can become more cost-effective to invest in a more efficient unit than to continue making repairs.
If your air conditioner is more than ten years old and breaking down frequently, it might be time to replace it. A commonly followed rule for comparing repairs vs. replacements is the “$5,000 rule.” If the estimated cost of a repair multiplied by the age of your unit comes out to more than $5,000, you should speak with a professional about if it’s time for something new.
