Is it time to replace your air conditioner?
Replacing your AC is a significant investment. Watch for these common signs that indicate it might be time for an upgrade rather than another repair:
Age
Your AC system is over 10–15 years old.
Frequent breakdowns
You're calling for repairs more and more often.
High energy bills
Your cooling costs are rising significantly without explanation.
Poor performance
Your home has hot spots or the system runs constantly without cooling effectively.
Strange noises
Loud banging, grinding, or squealing can indicate major component failure.
Uses R-22 refrigerant
This older refrigerant is being phased out, making repairs more expensive.
