A good quality Air Conditioning unit can last anywhere from 10 – 15 years, but the older the model and the more extensive the repairs the more likely it is that a new one will be more suitable than repairing the old one.

So, how do you know when it is time to replace your air conditioning unit?

• If you regularly maintain your air conditioning unit it should provide consistent air levels at your chosen temperature. If the air isn’t dispersing as usual, there’s usually a problem. It could be a clog in the piping and might need maintenance work, or it could mean that your unit is on the way out.
• When your air conditioning unit is blowing hot air when it is meant to blow cold, or cold when it meant to blow hot air, it’s time to get a professional to look at it.
• Your air conditioning unit will always produce some moisture, but an air conditioning unit in a good state of repair will be able to handle it. Once an air conditioner starts to leak it’s a telling sign that you might be in need of an upgrade.
• What’s that smell? When your air conditioning unit starts to smell, it’s time to start looking at fixing the issue or a possibly replacement unit.
• If you are forever calling the maintenance person to fix your air conditioning unit it might be more financially prudent to buy a new one.
• Power bills unusually high? Air conditioning can suck a lot of energy when it’s functioning properly, but when it’s broken you might find it drains even more energy.
