When to Replace Your Air Conditioner
The typical air conditioning unit can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years, and during that time it will likely need repairs. At some point, though, repairs will no longer adequately solve the problem, and throwing money at repairs for a system that is nearing the end of its usable life will no longer make sense financially. But how do you know when it’s time to replace your unit rather than repair it?
Consider the following when making your decision:
- Energy efficiency. If your AC is more than 10 years old, it’s outdated when it comes to efficiency. It may be worthwhile to consider a newer unit that can more efficiently cool your home, keeping you comfortable while saving you money on your electricity bills at the same time.
- Cost of repairs. If it’s going to cost more than 50% of the value of your system to repair it, it’s probably better to replace it. Alternatively, you can use the $5,000 rule: if the cost of needed repairs multiplied by the age of your system totals more than $5,000, you’ll get more bang for your buck by purchasing a new system.
- Peace of mind. Getting a new system can offer you the worry-free assurance of knowing that your system will work when you need it. Plus, new systems come with warranties so that if something does go wrong, you won’t have to worry about putting more money into it.
Of course, these are just general guidelines – sometimes, a poorly maintained system that is only 10 years old might need replacement more than a 30+ year old system that has been fastidiously taken care of. If you have any questions about whether to repair or replace your heat pump, ductless AC, or central AC unit, Tri-City would be happy to inspect your unit, provide our honest opinion, and educate you on your options.
