Is Your AC Ready for Retirement?

As the summer heat approaches, many homeowners start to wonder if their air conditioning system is up to the task. At Stegall Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, we often encounter customers who are unsure whether it’s time to upgrade their AC unit. Here are five tell-tale signs that indicate it might be time for a new air conditioning installation:

1. Age of Your Current System

If your AC unit is over 10-15 years old, it’s likely operating at a much lower efficiency than newer models. This means higher energy bills and less comfort for you.

2. Frequent Repairs

Are you constantly calling for AC repairs? If repair costs are adding up, it might be more cost-effective to invest in a new system.

3. Inconsistent Cooling

Do some rooms feel like a sauna while others are freezing? Uneven cooling could indicate your system is struggling to keep up with demand.

4. Strange Noises

Unusual sounds coming from your AC unit, such as grinding, squealing, or banging, often signal serious issues that may warrant a replacement.

5. Rising Energy Bills

If you’ve noticed a steady increase in your energy costs without a corresponding increase in usage, your AC might be working overtime to maintain comfortable temperatures.

Benefits of Upgrading Your AC System

Investing in a new air conditioning system can offer numerous advantages:

• Improved energy efficiency
• Better temperature control
• Enhanced air quality
• Quieter operation
• Potential tax credits or rebates
