Do I Need to Replace My AC?

Should you repair your damaged air conditioner or replace it with a brand-new unit? Having your air conditioner quit on you in the middle of summer isn’t a fun experience, but it doesn’t often happen without warning. While minor issues can sometimes cause your system to stop working, most air conditioners rarely fail beyond repair without showing you some signs that they might be at the end of their lifespan.

Some of the most common signs that your unit needs replacement services to include:

• Age: Most air conditioners have an expected lifespan of roughly 20 to 25 years. At roughly about the 20-year mark, your air conditioner will show signs of age, including reduced efficiency, more minor breakdowns, and difficulty keeping up with demands.
• Constant repairs: If you’re having to repair your air conditioner multiple times a year, or at least one fairly large time per year, then it’s definitely time to replace it with a more reliable system.
• Expensive repairs: Not all repairs are as simple as cleaning out your intake duct or replacing your air filter—some repairs are labor-intensive, and pricey. If you need more than one major repair, or your repair is more than half of the cost of a new system, replace it.
• Strange sounds or smells: Though not every sound your AC makes implies damage, rumbling, banging, or loud humming, there could be an issue with your unit’s motor. Your best choice might be to replace it.

All of the new systems we install here at Magic Electric, Plumbing, Heating + Air come from leading industry names, including Bryant. This allows us to offer a great selection of products so you can find something that will meet your needs perfectly.

Reliable Air Conditioning with Professional Maintenance

Maintenance is key when it comes to your air conditioner. Even a small failure can bring your air conditioner offline, but maintenance can prevent these failures from happening and will address many of your most important parts so they continue to operate properly.

Why should you invest in professional maintenance?

• Maintenance keeps your AC running efficiently, reducing energy usage and lowering utility bills.
• Maintenance improves indoor air quality.
• Maintenance helps catch small issues before they become costly repairs or the need for replacement.
• Maintenance improves functionality and climate control in your home.
• Maintenance extends the life of your AC unit, giving you years of extra service and value.

Is AC maintenance worth it? Between the money you save on energy costs, the money you save from better reliability and a lack of breakdowns, and the money you save from years of extra service from your AC unit, maintenance is absolutely worth it for every homeowner.
