It’s a difficult decision to make when it comes time to replace your A/C. Home comfort systems are major investments.
Unless you’re a professional, it can be difficult to determine whether your unit will need to be replaced or merely repaired.
Thankfully, with some helpful advice from our NATE-certified technicians at Delaware Heating & Air, here are some warning signs it might be time for a new AC.
Age of AC Unit
As your AC continues to age, your equipment is susceptible to repairs. Even the most maintained AC units on average last a decade. With HVAC technology constantly changing and improving, it can become inconvenient to find the equipment that your AC needs to run the most efficiently.
Warmer or Decrease in Airflow
Do you feel like your house is struggling to keep cool even after adjusting the temperature? Poor or warmer airflow could be a possible warning sign your AC is in need of service or needs replaced. If cleaning or replacing your air filter doesn’t improve the airflow in your home, it may be time to call a professional.
Unusual Noises & Smells
When an AC is running correctly, there should be no smell coming from the equipment and should sound like a gentle hum. When unusual noises or smells start to occur, you could have bigger problems. When your equipment starts to experience these issues, it is best to call a skilled technician to diagnose the problem occurring with your AC.
