6 Signs That It’s Time to Install a New Air Conditioner

Air conditioners are huge investments; that’s why some homeowners are reluctant to replace their existing units. However, the cost of a new AC and its installation may only be a fraction of frequent repairs and steep electric bills if continue to use an old, faulty unit. Not to mention hundreds of uncomfortable days and nights.

Here are the perceptible signs that you need to install a new air conditioning system:

The Existing Unit Is More Than 10 Years Old Already

Generally, properly-installed and well-maintained air conditioners can last up to 15 years. However, if your decade-old unit already demands costly repairs, consider getting a replacement. This is particularly sensible considering the technological advancements in cooling systems in the past 10 years.

Your Unit Is Using R22 Freon

Freon is a moderately toxic, non-flammable refrigerant brand name often used generically. R22, a type of Freon, was banned in the U.S. as of January 1, 2020, due to its high ozone depletion potential. If your AC uses Freon, it will need a safer replacement. Contact Sunrise Heat & Air for assistance.

Frequent Failures and Costly Repairs

Calculate the total cost of all the repairs you made last year. Does it exceed the price of a new AC system? An inefficient unit can lead to higher energy bills. While the upfront cost of a new unit and installation may be significant, it’s a worthwhile long-term investment. Also, consider the inconvenience of frequent breakdowns.

Your Living Space Is No Longer Comfortable

Has it been an hour since you turned on the AC but the room is still uncomfortably warm? Aging and incorrectly-sized systems do not provide sufficient cooling. This means your unit is consuming electricity and you’re not benefiting from it.

Strange Sounds from the AC

Unusual sounds from the AC could be signs that the unit wants to retire already. Strange sounds often indicate loose or broken components like constant clicking which is a common sign that the thermostat is failing. If your air conditioner has been working for more than 10 years now, don’t be surprised if it starts to get noisier.

Moisture Buildup

Properly functioning AC systems can manage moisture buildup. If you see moisture and inefficient cooling, it may mean low refrigerant or a faulty pump, risking your home. Excess moisture promotes mold growth, harming health and structure. Frequent issues may warrant a new system.

Not All AC Systems Are the Same, Check the SEER Rating

Different air conditioning systems have different installation requirements. Furthermore, cooling requirements vary per customer. Sunrise Heat & Air has a team of experts on different AC system that offers customized solutions to residential, commercial, and industrial settings in Tampa Bay Area. This practice ensures everybody gets what they truly need.

If you’ve decided to install a new AC, make sure to check the SEER rating. It measures the maximum efficiency of a unit. So, higher the SEER rating is equivalent to greater energy efficiency. The minimum SEER rating of newer units is at 13. 22 SEER is the highest.

What SEER Rating to Look For

Logically, higher SEER rating also means higher price tag. It’s also important to note that the U.S Department of Energy imposes minimum SEER requirements that vary by geographical region. In Florida, federal standards require an efficiency of SEER 14.
