Should I Replace My Air Conditioner?

The days are heating up! Before you know it, Nebraska’s hot summer will be around the corner. Spring-time is when most homeowners make sure air conditioning systems are ready to go before summer arrives, starting with an AC check up. Rather than do-it-yourself, you should call your favorite Omaha heating and cooling company for AC maintenance services.

Notice Uptick in Operating Costs?

As demand rises and falls, so does the cost of operating your ac. Over time, system efficiency starts to decrease due to regular wear and tear, along with equipment age. Also, there is a correlation between failing to regularly maintain the system and reduced product life. Anyhow, with any major appliance as time goes by, perhaps around the 15-20 year mark, the air conditioner tends to operate for longer periods of time to compensate for efficiency loss. Now that drives up your utility bill.  So, if your electric bill keeps increasing, it’s time to discuss with your HVAC technician about the possibility of a new AC installation.

Plethora of Repairs?

If you also start to notice a steady increase in the number of air conditioning system repair calls, talk to your technician about it. If you hired a reputable AC repair company in Omaha, for instance, he or she would have already communicated his/her replacement recommendation, if any, during the Spring check up. Bottom line, an air conditioner shouldn’t need repairs more than a handful of times throughout its system life.

Red Flag

If you experience a rapid succession of repairs of old AC equipment, that’s a sign that you may need a new system. Many repairs over a short period of time often signals the end of an AC’s lifecyle.  Say, repairs every few months, rather than every few years – are clues.
