Do You Need a New AC Unit?

If you’re unsure as to whether or not you need a new AC unit, don’t worry- you’re not alone. Cooling systems can be tricky to understand, but here are a few tell-tale signs that it may be time for AC replacement in Huntingdon Valley:

• 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 an indication that your AC unit is no longer operating as efficiently as it used to and may be past its prime. Signs of inefficiency include long AC 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: As of 2020, US production of R-22 refrigerant has ceased due to the substance’s deleterious effects on the environment. If your AC unit uses R-22, you’ll need to replace your system or alter your refrigerant.

How to Choose a New Air Conditioner 

When choosing an AC unit for your home, there are many different types to take into consideration. Not sure which air conditioner is right for you? Here are a few things to think about.

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: Different AC units have different energy needs. If you would like an AC unit that is more energy-efficient, we can help you to understand the different energy ratings and select a unit that best suits your needs.
