Your air conditioning system is chugging away through another Dallas summer and suddenly the cool air stops blasting. You call an air conditioning professional to come out to take a look and by the time it’s all said and done you’re going to have to pay a pretty penny for the repair. So at what point do you call it a day and just upgrade your current AC equipment?
Age
Naturally the older your system gets, the more it’s likely to malfunction and lose efficiency. Air conditioning systems over eight years old are already much less efficient than the new energy-efficient models available today. But if your system is more than 14 years old, odds are you are going to invest more money over time to keep it functioning than if you just invested in a new, energy-efficient air conditioning system.
Money
To keep on topic with the above statement, ultimately it’s going to start costing more to replace parts and repair issues than it would to just invest in a new air conditioning system. Another factor to note is R-22, the common refrigerant for old air conditioning equipment, is being phased out for the safety of the environment. If your air conditioning system was assembled before 2010, you will most likely see a spike in the price of your refrigerant until you upgrade your system.
Efficiency
Science is constantly advancing and with that comes more energy-efficient air conditioning equipment. Systems now tend to cost less to run because they can cool the home more efficiently, saving you money on your energy bills – and who doesn’t want that?
