AC Repair vs AC Replacement
If your unit isn’t used for even a decade and it’s not working properly, you may not want to replace your unit before at least trying a few repairs on it. While fixes may cost less, for the time being, some may wind up costing you more in the long haul. Therefore, you may wonder when you should try a repair and when a replacement would be best. Here are a few suggestions that can guide you.
Unit is nearing the ten-year mark
If your AC unit has been in use for about ten years already then it is most likely that you need to look for a new AC unit to replace it with. Depending on the circumstances, it can end up costing you more in time, energy, and aggravation, if you continuously keep trying to repair your old unit especially if it keeps breaking down or having problems. Overall it could be cheaper in many aspects to simply take the plunge and invest in a new one.
The unit sustained minor damage to an internal part
You may get lucky and find that you simply need to replace a faulty part and not the entire unit. If your unit is older, it may or may not be worth trying to eke out a few more years of use before replacing it.
Unit is leaking refrigerant
Unfortunately, if you see any leakage or any liquid coming out of your air conditioner, then this could be a bad sign. The truth is that in many cases this could signify that repairs are needed and these repairs are not cheap. They can be expensive and in many cases buying a new unit could be more practical. Sometimes it’s simply more cost-effective to replace a malfunctioning air conditioner than it is to repair it.
Unit needs a new compressor
Perhaps the most expensive air conditioner repair is the replacement of the compressor. It’s more expensive to fix an old device than to buy a new air conditioner.
Recently added more space to your home
If you’ve recently put an addition on your home, you might need to upgrade your unit to cover your expanded home’s total needs. By adding more space to cool down, you can add stress to a smaller unit, so it’s critical to make sure the equipment in place matches the requirements of your home and living space. A professional can take measurements of your home and determine what AC replacement unit would be most ideal for your newly added space.
Unit not cooling the house to your preferences
While your first impulse may be to blame your indoor temperature issues on the unit itself, the problem could be with the ductwork, insulation, or vents. It is important to have a professional confirm the reason for the issue before replacing your unit.
What types of AC units are available today?
A complete replacement of your air conditioning system is no small task. The good news is that you have many choices now to pick out from as your replacement for your AC unit. An AC professional can guide you through the pros and cons of all your available options and help you make the best choice for you and your family.
The most commonly used AC unit is the split system that makes use of a condenser coil and an evaporator coil. Such types of units are usually chosen by homes with existing ductwork, and energy-efficient models are already common across the industry. In areas where the climate is mild, heat pumps are popular, and for colder regions there is the geothermal variation type.
If your home has no ductwork, you can use a ductless mini-split system, which uses wall-mounted blowers in individual rooms to cool them down. If there are some rooms that don’t need cooling, these systems can be an economical option. These can actually end up more expensive than an HVAC unit if you use them to cool the entire house.
