Repair or Replace Your Air Conditioner

Repair or Replace Your Air Conditioner
Check your AC for minor repairs before deciding to replace it

When your air conditioner starts to fail, you may need to decide whether to repair it or replace it. Depending on the depth of repair your unit may need, replacing it may be a more efficient option. Although, replacing your old air conditioning unit can cost a pretty penny.

If your air conditioning unit has stopped functioning properly or is not cooling efficiently, it may be for a number of reasons. Check filters, ventilation, electricity bills, and the age of the machine before deciding on which action to take.

Prevention: Put off buying a brand new unit until it is completely necessary.  Take preventative maintenance steps to ensure your AC unit’s longevity and efficiency. Changing the filters regularly is extremely important. Filters provide quality airflow and can restrict it if left dirty for too long.

Ventilation: Keep your outdoor unit clean of debris, dust and waste. If the air conditioner is not cooling, there may be something blocking the airflow. Easily adjusting or eliminating the obstruction may be all you need to cool your house again.

High Bills: If your electricity bill all of a sudden skyrockets, this might be an indication that something is extremely wrong. A repair may help, but if the unit is quite old it may be smarter to purchase a more efficient model.

Age of the Cooler: Out-of-date equipment does not do its job efficiently. If your unit is old, noisy and rusty, it may be time to switch to a newer, energy-efficient model.
