Do I replace the air conditioner or repair it? Which makes more sense? Which is more affordable? Does my air conditioner still have plenty of life? How do I know? Prescott Air Conditioning offers this guide to help Prescott homeowners know when to replace your home’s air conditioner.

Signs your unit may need to be replaced:

• If it is more than 15 years old.

When deciding whether to replace or repair the air conditioner, consider its age first. Air conditioners have a typical lifespan of about 10-15 years. So, if your home’s air conditioner is acting up (especially again) and it is over 10 years old then it’s probably a time to replace it.

• If your energy costs keep increasing.

If your local utility company hasn’t increased the rates, then your air conditioner might be working overtime to keep your house comfortable. That may be an indicator that it’s the wrong-sized unit or that it is failing mechanically and needs to keep running to keep you and your family cool.

• If repair calls are more frequent and and costly.

At Prescott Air Conditioning, we will inspect your system, explain in as great detail as you like, and advise you on what needs to be repaired. We love going into technical detail about our findings! We invite you to join us and watch our work – if you want. This way we’ll better explain the results and how much it will cost.
