Signs you need a new AC
Most air conditioners only last 10–15 years. If yours is approaching”old age”, you might want to consider replacing it.
Repair costs add up quickly. Here’s a little tip: If the cost of a repair multiplied by your AC’s age is more than the cost of a new unit, the repair probably isn’t worth it.
Air conditioners tend to lose efficiency as they get older. As the unit suffers more wear and tear, it has to work harder (and use more energy) to cool your home.
If your warranty is no longer valid, the manufacturer won’t guarantee the parts on your AC. That means you’re stuck paying for all repairs out of pocket, which usually isn’t worth it compared to getting a new unit.
