It’s getting hotter. You have probably already experienced at least one scorching day here in Austin this year! Can you imagine how hot it’s going to get in June, July and August? It’s a good thing you have a trusty AC Unit in your home.
But wait…. What if you don’t have a trusty AC unit? Do you know if your cooling system is good to go for this Summer or is it in need of a complete replacement?
Now is the time to think about how well your AC Unit is working. If your AC is old enough to remember the Gulf War, it is time to replace it! Hopefully our list today will be of use to you for when you decide whether or not to call a local air conditioning company for help. Here are our top reasons to replace your AC Unit:
Too Many Repairs
A good AC unit can last many years if it is properly taken care of. In fact, some units can be working relatively well at the ripe old age of 10 or a bit older! But if you’ve had your AC unit for a really long time, all the breakdowns are likely costing you in repairs. You’re not saving money by keeping that old AC unit in action!
Energy
As technology gets better and better, so does the energy efficiency of AC units. A highly beneficial reason to replace your AC unit is to start saving some electricity! Older models, generally speaking, are simply not as efficient as most newer models. You need to consider how much you could save in the long run.
Risk Of Failure/An Inconsistent Unit
Your AC unit might be working fine but what about when it malfunctions occasionally? Are you going to be okay with a faulty AC when the heat outdoors is reaching record highs?
Your cooling unit may have clogged up on you before. It could have been when the weather was a bit cooler. Now that it’s late April, think about the upcoming weather! The last thing you want is a random malfunction to occur in the heat.
It Doesn’t Work!
This one is a no-brainer. If you turn the setting to 72 degrees after coming home from walking in the scorching sun and, after a few minutes, you’re still sweating, it’s time to admit to yourself that your cooling unit is busted. If you have to think about whether or not it’s working…. It’s not working! Get it replaced.
