Signs You Need To Replace Your Air Conditioning System
Routine AC maintenance will help ensure you have a longer-lasting, more efficient system. Sometimes, however, air conditioners get to the point where they need a replacement.
When determining when to replace your unit isn’t an exact science, certain telltale signs point to a unit on its last legs:
- Old age: Most cooling devices have an average lifespan of about 10-15 years. Consider replacing any unit nearing or older than that.
- Frequent and costly repairs: If your air conditioner keeps breaking down and demands costly repairs, a replacement might prove more cost-effective than constant repairs.
- Poor operation: Is your AC unit working as well as it always has? If not, have an HVAC professional inspect the unit for a potential replacement.
- Poor energy efficiency: While investing in a new unit might seem costly, replacing it with a newer one means fewer repairs, a longer unit lifespan, and lower energy bills.
- AC uses R-22 refrigerant: If your AC unit still uses R-22 refrigerant, which causes significant environmental damage, consider replacing it with a new one.

Central Air vs. Ductless Mini Split Systems
With all the air conditioning systems available out there, choosing a cooling system can prove challenging. When shopping around for a new unit, many property owners find themselves making the central air vs. mini-split comparison.
It’s a tough choice because central air and ductless mini-split systems (heat pumps) have their pros and cons. While both systems operate on the same principles for cooling indoor air, they differ significantly in their installation, setup, and delivery of cool air.
Ducted central air systems work effectively for cooling an entire home. Ductless systems can also cool an entire home, but they better suit room additions, converted spaces, or older homes without ductwork. Trust our team to help you make an informed choice.
