Signs You May Need a New

Air Conditioner Installed

​

If you already have an air conditioner, and have had one for a few years, it’s important that you know the signs that you need a new system. It’s especially important that you have your air conditioner evaluated every spring, lest the system unexpectedly break down on you during a hot summer day. There are a few signs that you need a new air conditioning system.

 

First, keep an eye out for higher operating costs from month to month. This is likely caused by accumulated wear and tear on the system, forcing it to operate for longer and longer to compensate. Second, you should also keep track of how often you need to have your air conditioner repaired over the years.  An air conditioner shouldn’t need repairs more than a handful of times in its life, but most of the instances of repair will be clustered towards the end of it. If you need to repair your air conditioner more than once every year, it’s likely that you need a new one.

Conditioning Repairs

​

Just as with air conditioner replacement, there are many different kinds of signs that you need repairs for your air conditioner. First, you should keep an eye out for drops in output. That’s a sure sign that you have a problem with your air conditioner. Next, watch for leaks in the system. Any fluid that is dripping from your air conditioner could be a sign of a refrigerant leak, which will drain the system of what it needs to continue operating.

​

You should also beware of strange noises, as they are often an indication of some sort of serious problem with the system. A loud grinding sound is indicative of worn down air handler bearings. If the bearings are not replaced, the air handler might overheat and burn out. Short cycling is the sound of the system turning on and off every couple of minutes. This dramatically increases the wear and tear on the system, shortening its lifespan and increasing the chances of various parts breaking down. If you hear this sound, you should definitely call for repairs as soon as possible.
