Do You Need a New AC Unit?

It can be hard to tell whether or not you need a new AC unit, especially if you’re not familiar with cooling systems. Here’s a few signs that it may be the right time for Bala Cynwyd AC replacement:

• Your AC unit is at least 15 years old: Replacing an AC unit is typically recommended every 15 years. If your AC unit falls within this age range, it may be time for a replacement. We can assess your cooling system to determine whether or not an upgrade is necessary.
• Your AC unit isn’t cooling your home like it used to: This is likely a sign that your AC unit is no longer working as efficiently as it used to and may need to be replaced. Inefficient AC units often have long run times, high energy bills, and uneven cooling.
• Your energy bills have gotten more expensive: An air conditioner unit generally consumes a large amount of energy, so your energy costs are expected to go up during the hotter months of the year. If there is a significant spike in your air conditioning-related energy expenditure, it may be time for a replacement unit.
• Your AC unit breaks down all the time: An air conditioning unit that necessitates a lot of repairs is not often worth fixing. You may want to invest in a new AC that will have a longer lifespan and need fewer repairs. If you’re unsure of whether or not you should replace your AC, reach out to Green HVAC today. We’ll send an AC professional to your home to take a look.
• Your AC unit uses R-22 refrigerant: R-22 refrigerant is harmful to the environment, so US production of it was stopped in 2020. If your AC unit uses R-22, you’ll need to swap out your system or change your refrigerant.

How to Choose a New Air Conditioner 

There are many different types of AC units, so it can be difficult to decide which one is right for your home. If you’re wondering how to choose a new air conditioner, here are some factors to consider.

The size of your home: There is a range of sizes for AC units. It is crucial to select an AC unit that is the appropriate size for your home; otherwise, it will not be effective in cooling your space.

Your budget: Different air conditioners come at different price points, so it is essential to select one that falls within your budget. If you are struggling to afford the AC unit that is most suitable for your residence, Green HVAC can provide special financing to help bridge the gap.

Your energy needs: AC units have varying energy requirements. If you’re interested in an AC unit that conserves energy, we can help you understand the different energy ratings and select a unit that suits your needs.
