Beat the Summer Heat With New AC
In the middle of summer, the last thing anyone wants is to face a searing day of July heat. Instead of chancing this fiasco, invest in an AC replacement now! There are tons of reasons why upgrading to a new AC is worth it, but three stand out as the most important reasons folks decide to get new AC installed. Keep reading to find out more!
Improved Efficiency = Money Saved
Air conditioners generally have a 20-year lifespan. Once a unit has reached its 10-year mark, its efficiency begins to suffer. After a decade of hard work, air conditioners start to lose 20-40% of their efficiency, which means that the home’s energy bills will begin to spike. What’s more, an older air conditioning unit will struggle to cool the house, leaving the house warmer and more humid than in previous years.
A new air conditioner can net homeowners 20-40% in efficiency savings. More importantly, newer air conditioners will cool the home faster, lowering the overall energy bills of the house for the summer.
Fewer Repairs = Fewer Headaches
The average cost of repairing an old air conditioner can range anywhere from $150-$500 a visit for moderate repairs. That price goes up if a coil breaks or the condensate pump needs replacing. The truth is, older AC units need more frequent maintenance, with most units requiring a yearly repair after 15 years of use. Over time, these repairs start to add up. What’s worse, when air conditioners need repairs, they typically can’t be in use. In the dead heat of summer, this means homeowners have to suffer the cost of the repairs and sit in a hot house until the HVAC technicians can arrive.
Investing in a new AC unit reduces the headaches that come with older units. Repairs are far less frequent, and the chances of a new unit breaking down are slim. Homeowners can enjoy summers with the risk of a broken AC unit looming over everyone’s head when a new unit handles the cooling!
The Right Size = The Best Solution
Too-large units will shorten the cycle time of the AC unit. Humidity levels in the home will increase, and cooling will be uneven throughout the home. A too-small unit will be unable to cool the house and experience overworking, causing electrical bills to spike. The result of having an ill-sized unit, large or small, is increased energy bills, constant machine breakdowns, and a hot house.
When it comes to finding the right AC replacement, reach out to a local HVAC expert for help. They’ll measure the home and find the correct SEER rating before suggesting models and solutions that will fit the house’s needs.
