Tips for Choosing the Right AC Unit
When selecting a new air conditioner, there are several tips to consider to make sure that the new system perfectly fits with a home. In addition to considering the size of the whole space and the cooling capacity of the unit, residents will want a unit with maximum energy efficiency.
Models with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating are more likely to ensure optimal energy savings. Residents should also talk to an HVAC professional about determining which AC unit would best suit the household’s needs. From central air conditioning systems to ductless mini-split systems, experts can discuss pros and cons to help residents achieve maximum comfort and efficiency.

Warning Signs That Your AC Needs to Be Replaced
Most air conditioning systems have a lifespan of around 10 to 15 years, so if an AC is older than this, it may be time to consider replacing it. Just because an air conditioner has not hit this expiration date does not mean that it can keep operating properly. When an AC shows multiple signs of trouble, it may not be a good idea to force it to limp along for a few more months.
Homeowners should seek a full replacement when noticing signs like:
- Increased energy bills – If bills have skyrocketed without a corresponding increase in usage, the AC may be working harder than it should be to keep the home cool.
- Frequent repairs – When an AC constantly needs to be repaired, it may be time to consider a replacement. Multiple repairs can add up quickly, and a new system may be more reliable and cost-effective in the long run.
- Poor performance – Has the AC been struggling to keep the rooms cool or is it making strange, loud noises? These are common signs that it is on its last legs, requiring a replacement to ensure the home stays cool and comfortable.
