As long as they are well-maintained, your heating and cooling systems should last a long time. Replacing your system is likely not something you think about very often, but as a homeowner you should know when it is time for a new air conditioner unit. The team at Absolute Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning in Lincoln, NE, have shared the most common signs that will indicate it’s time.

The following factors will help you make a smart decision about when to have a new air conditioner unit installed in your home:new air conditioner unit

  • Age: Most systems have an expected lifespan of approximately 10 years. This may vary depending on how well you maintained the system and how much use there was. However, if your unit has been around for over a decade and breaks down, replacing is typically a smarter investment than repairing it.
  • Repairs: Age, wear and faulty systems are all possible culprits for the fact that your system requires repairs. If you find that your unit is breaking down often or your HVAC repairman tells you there’s a particularly expensive repair needed, it’s likely worthwhile to just get a new system that you can rely on. You may even save money by avoiding those future repairs.
  • Energy Use: As systems get older, they become less efficient and require more energy to get the job done. In contrast, newer models are coming out each year which are more energy efficient than the models before them. If you’d like to lower your energy consumption and save on that electricity bill, a new air conditioner unit is the perfect step toward that goal.
