Warm weather is coming in hot, no pun intended. The question is: Can your current air conditioner handle the heat?
If you aren’t certain about the answer to this question, our technicians at Springfield Heating & Cooling present the following four warning signs it might be time for a new air conditioning unit.
Old Age
The older your home’s air conditioning system gets, the more likely it becomes necessary for repairs to be made when problems occur. On average, air conditioners usually last about a decade and without proper maintenance, it can even be less. Installing a new AC unit would save you hard earned money, especially when compared to the cost and labor of working on older equipment.
Warmer or Decrease in Air Flow
Air conditioners are meant to produce cool airflow, unlike fans that merely blow the air around. When you notice your air conditioner is producing warmer air or you feel a decrease in airflow, it’s a sign of trouble. If left unchecked, you could run into some problems. If you clean your system and replace your air filters, and you still have problems with airflow, it might be a good idea to call Springfield Heating & Cooling. If the issue persists it could relate to a bigger problem for your home cooling equipment.
Strange Smells or Odd Noises
Abnormal noises or strange odors coming from an air conditioner are major indicators that there is a problem with your equipment. This is another reason why routine maintenance is important. Maintenance helps to prevent unusual noises and smells from becoming a problem. Our professional technicians help spot any issues before they become expensive problems that require repairs. Overall, our service prolongs the life of all your HVAC equipment.
More Frequent Repairs
Does it seem like you’re having to call an HVAC technician more frequently for repairs? It might be time to invest in a new air conditioning system if so. Although routine maintenance is good for your system, your home cooling equipment should not be in constant need of improvement.
