AC units have long been an integral part of the modern house. They provide a place to cool off during the hottest summer days and provide other advantages, such as reducing the risk of asthma attacks, allergies and respiratory problems. In recent times, however, there’s been some doubt over whether it’s more beneficial to repair or replace your AC unit if it breaks down or is inefficient. If you’re not sure then speak with a certified HVAC technician at Waychoffs Air Conditioning.

What are some signs your air conditioner is not working efficiently?

 

If you find your air conditioner running faster than normal, emits an unpleasant smell, or makes loud noises, it could be due to dirty filters or clogged Evaporator coils. To avoid these issues make sure that you change your filters frequently and regularly clean the coils using a vacuum and brush.

 

Repairing a damaged AC unit is costly and time-consuming, whereas replacing it is a more affordable option.

 

Another aspect to be aware of is whether or not the AC is efficient. Is the AC cooling every room or are some rooms warmer then others.

 

The price of a new unit varies depending on the dimensions and the model of the model. You can expect to pay between $2,000 and $5,000 for a brand new AC system.

 

The choice of whether to replace or repair the AC system is contingent on how old your system is as well as its efficiency level. If it’s a brand-new AC system then it might be covered by warranty.

 

If your equipment is 10 years old or more repair may not be worth the cost because it will likely break down again soon after repairs have been completed.
