Air Conditioning Installation
Signs You May Need a New Air Conditioner
Even a well-maintained AC system won’t last forever. Knowing when it’s time for a replacement can save you from costly repairs, high energy bills, and unexpected breakdowns.
Here are the Most Common Signs That You May Need a New Air Conditioner:
Your AC is 10–15+ Years Old
Older units lose efficiency and are more prone to breakdowns, especially if they use outdated refrigerants like R-22.
Frequent Repairs
If you’re calling for service multiple times a season, replacement is often more cost-effective than continued repairs.
Rising Energy Bills
A sudden increase in energy costs may mean your AC is working harder than it should to keep up.
Inconsistent Cooling
Hot and cold spots throughout your home or business often signal system inefficiency or failing components.
Excessive Noise
Grinding, banging, or rattling sounds could point to major internal issues.
Weak Airflow – Poor circulation from vents may mean your blower motor or compressor is failing.
Humidity Problems
If your AC can’t control indoor humidity, it may be undersized or nearing the end of its life.
Frequent Short Cycling – Turning on and off repeatedly can indicate an oversized system, electrical issues, or failing components.
Visible Leaks or Moisture
Refrigerant leaks or pooling water around the unit are serious warning signs.
Poor Indoor Air Quality
More dust, odors, or allergens indoors may mean your system is no longer filtering air effectively.
