Your trusty air
conditioner works for you non-stop, but eventually, it will have
problems, or maybe even completely break down. In most cases, you can
have it up and running again by hiring an HVAC contractor to do some
repairs. Nevertheless, there are times when you should know how to
give up on it and buy a new one, as constant repairs at that point
could be too costly.
Ten Years of Service
Sure, there may be many
air conditioners capable of running for much longer than ten years,
but its efficiency will already have been significantly reduced.
Besides, your ten year old AC might already be outdated, so you
should consider upgrading to a more advanced and perhaps more
energy-efficient model.
High Energy Bills
Speaking of
energy-efficiency, do you notice that your energy bills seem to be
steadily rising over the years? This might be because your old air
conditioner is already expending a lot more energy than it used to
just to maintain the typical levels of cooled air that you’re
having it produce.
Temperature
Inconsistences
In turn, this
increasing energy usage could also lead to inconsistent temperatures
in different areas of your house. Your AC could no longer sustain the
temperature long enough, hence some rooms become warmer much faster
than others, while some rooms get cooler faster than others, as well.
