When Should I Replace My Air Conditioner?
Posted on Sep 23rd, 2011 in Uncategorized
Certain telltale signs indicate that it’s time to consider replacing your air conditioning and heating system, or to improve the performance and comfort of your existing system. You will know that it is time to call a professional contractor to help you make a change if:
Your heat pump or air conditioner is more than 10 years old.
FPL recommends that if your system is more than 10 years old that it be replaced so that you can benefit from higher energy savings. Just like any other electronic device, after 10 years, your unit may be obsolete and cost you much more to operate than newer, more efficient systems with superior technology that is now available today.
You know you are paying too much for your electric bill.
During the hot Florida summers, your air conditioner can be responsible for as much as 75% of your total electric bill. By putting in a new high efficiency air conditioner, you can drastically reduce that portion of your costs. Some units can even save up to 70% of your cooling cost.
Your equipment needs frequent repairs.
If you are often putting money into your air conditioner, it may be costing you more than it is worth to keep that old system running. Most new units come with long manufacturer warranties so you don’t have to worry about repair costs.
You are not happy with your total home comfort.
Whether your house is too humid or you have hot and cold areas in your home, a new air conditioner installed by the right contractor can fix many of these problems. You don’t have to live with an uncomfortable feeling.
Live Comfortably with D&D!
