If your unit is 10 years or older and the cost to repair it is pricey, then it could be a good time to consider replacing your ac unit. One general rule of thumb many ac repair technicians use to calculate whether it’s more cost efficient to repair or replace a unit is to multiply the repair cost by the age of the unit. If the cost of the repairs multiplied by the age of the unit (in years) exceeds $5,000, it’s reasonable to replace it.

Before your technician arrives, make a list of symptoms to help identify the problem. Did the unit stop working? Did it make a noise? Is there an odor? Is there a water leak? Is it not receiving power ? Is it not cooling properly? Answering questions like this with our customer service representatives when setting your appt can assist in speeding up the repair time.

The unfortunate eventual outcome of not changing your air filter, besides a higher energy bill from running an inefficient HVAC system, is that it will stop working altogether. Your HVAC system is powered by a fan motor that has to work harder when there is a clogged filter. Dust and dirt restrict airflow. This extra strain can make the motor overheat or even break, dust and dirt will recirculate throughout your home.

The frequency of changing your air filters depends on several factors. How many people live in your home Air Quality in your home – If there are any smokers in your family, or you like to burn a lot of scented candles, perhaps sometimes leave the sliding door partially open for your pets to come in and out, you’ll have to change your filters more often.

On average a system can last between 10 to 15 years with preventative maintenance. The life expectancy of any HVAC system or equipment depends on a variety of factors, weather conditions, geographical location, whether you have had preventative maintenance and service performed on them, as well as the type of equipment and your usage. We recommend you have a qualified HVAC technician perform maintenance at least twice a year on your equipment. Maintenance will prevent and catch potential issues with your air conditioner, and reduce the likelihood of failures taking place down the road.
