5 Signs to Replace Your AC
It can be difficult to know when to replace your air conditioner, especially if this is the first time for you. It can also be tricky to assess, as many problems with an air conditioner can be resolved with repairs, which will usually be less expensive than a new system — so when is it really time to replace? Consider if these symptoms sound familiar for your system:
- Struggling to keep up with daily cooling needs
- Over 15 years old and in need of repairs
- Frequent repairs that add up to more than half of a new installation cost
- Sky high energy bills despite regular usage
- Desire to switch to a more energy-efficient unit or system
Of course, there are other situations in which the need for replacement might arise; repairs so expensive that replacement is the only obvious choice, for example. For more complex cases, our team can help you make the right decision after weighing possibilities.
Which Air Conditioning System is Right for You?
When upgrading your air conditioning today, there are many options to consider. Beyond the simple question of efficiency, BTUs, and expense, you also have options regarding the type of cooling system you can install: central or traditional air conditioning, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits.
Traditional air conditioning combines an exterior condenser unit with a duct system to push cold air into each conditioned room in your home. They’re straightforward and familiar, with few real drawbacks even if they lack the broad benefits of newer technologies. As a result, they typically cost less to install if you have existing ductwork.
Air source heat pumps have similar components, but the exterior and interior units can also trade roles, allowing you to move heat into your home for winter heating that’s far more efficient than any furnace.
Ductless mini-splits use the same technology again, but instead of a single unit that blows air through ducts, the exterior unit is connected to multiple “mini-splits,” which blow air directly into rooms, meaning you can save space on ducts and keep rooms at different temperatures.

FAQs
Why does my AC keep turning on and off?
Your air conditioner might be short-cycling, turning on and off due to overheating or a thermostat issue. It might also be sized poorly or have flawed ductwork, making it cool your thermostat off before it cools your entire home. If your system is tripping the breaker and losing all power, you have a problem that warrants immediate attention.
When should I repair my AC vs. replace it?
You want to replace your air conditioner when repairs become a waste of money, which can be difficult to assess outside of massive repair costs or an old system. Compare the repair cost versus how many years of service you expect to get without further repairs. Don’t forget to consider whether your monthly power bills will be substantially lower with a newer unit.
