7 Signs You Need a New Air Conditioner

No one wants their AC to die on the hottest day of the year. These are the signs that it may be time to plan a replacement rather than keep paying for repairs.

Watch for these

• Your system is more than 10 to 15 years old
• Energy bills keep climbing for the same usage
• Repairs are getting more frequent and more expensive
• Some rooms never get comfortable
• The house feels humid even when the AC runs
• Strange noises or smells when it starts
• It struggles to keep up on the hottest days

Repair or replace?

A good rule of thumb: if a repair costs more than a third of a new system and the unit is old, replacement usually wins. If it is a newer system with a minor issue, repair is the smart call. We give you an honest comparison either way, with no pressure.
