How can you tell if your air conditioner is on its last legs?

If you suspect that you need a new air conditioner, then there’s a good chance you’re right! There are many telltale signs of an AC unit that’s preparing to kick the bucket. Here are four signs that you will need a new air conditioner this summer.

  1. If your air conditioner is ten years old or more, it might be time to start shopping for a new one. If you’re at 15 years or more, AC failure may be on the horizon.

  3. If you have noticed a frequent need for AC repairs, it’s a bad sign. It’s especially bad if the repairs get progressively more expensive and more frequent. A small repair here, and patch-up there – these things happen. But when the repairman seems to be at your house every week, it’s time for a new AC unit.

  5. If your air conditioning runs more and more but never seems to get the house cool enough, it’s on its last legs. This is a sure sign that you will need a new air conditioner before the season is done.

  7. If your air conditioner has begun making loud, violent, or terrifying noises when it switches on, it probably means that moving parts are rubbing together and breaking each other down. Especially if those parts aren’t replaced or repaired, you will have a dead AC unit on your hands in no time.

Don’t wait for your air conditioner to completely fail you. Hire a qualified HVAC company, ask them to recommend the right AC unit for your home, and schedule the installation. That way, you will only have to go without air conditioning for a few hours and you will know exactly when it’s happening.
