If your air conditioner isn’t at peak operational function, it may not give you the comfort you need during the high heat of Texas summer. Though repairs may sometimes do the trick, there’s also a chance you may need a new air conditioner. Here are some possible signs your AC system requires a replacement:
Frequent Breakdowns
Things break down from time to time. However, if your air conditioner fails to give you cooling on a frequent basis due to damaged parts and wear and tear, you may be better off replacing the system. Frequent breakdowns are a good sign that your system has aged beyond effectiveness.
Loss of Efficiency
Are you seeing your summer cooling costs soar? If so, you may have a worn-out air conditioner that’s no longer operating efficiently. This can happen as the system ages and the parts no longer function as well.
Old AC System Requires Replacement
Most air conditioners last 10-15 years while providing optimal cooling. If your AC system has reached the upper end of this range, replacement may be a good idea before the air conditioner fails entirely.
Issues With Humidity
Along with cooling your home, your AC system provides humidity control. As the system ages, it may struggle with keeping humidity low in the house. If your home feels muggy and moist, you may need a new air conditioner.
Insufficient Airflow
Even though the air conditioner powers on, creates cold air and blows it through the vents, the airflow may not be sufficient enough to cool the entire house. If your once-strong and sufficient AC system no longer gives you the same level of cooling, you may need a replacement to regain comfort.
Your air conditioner works hard to combat the heat of Texas. Over the years, internal parts become worn, and the system ages beyond feasibility. When you need an AC replacement in your Cypress, TX, home, call Marcos’ AC & Heating Inc. right away.
