The average life of an air conditioner is about 10 to 15 years. Just like any other piece of equipment, frequent, costly repairs and decreased performance are good indicators that the air conditioner is reaching the end of its lifespan. If this is something you’re experiencing, it may be time to consider replacement by requesting HVAC installation services from Blue Heating and Cooling.
Trust us – it’s always better to replace HVAC equipment on your own terms as opposed to waiting for an emergency situation. You don’t want to suddenly be without air conditioning service. When it comes to HVAC service, always be proactive rather than reactive.
How is efficiency measured in HVAC equipment?
The SEER rating (or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) for HVAC equipment illustrates how energy efficient a unit will be when properly installed in your home. The higher the SEER number, the more efficient the system will be. Today’s units are required to have a minimum SEER rating of 13.
What is a heat pump? Do I need one?
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, using electricity to move heat between the house and the outdoors. Air source heat pumps are the most common kind, and they can cut your electricity costs by as much as 40 percent as compared to a standard air conditioning unit. Talk to one of our technicians about heat pump installation in your home.
How do I know it’s time to replace my air conditioner?
If you’ve been spending a lot of money on air conditioning service and repair, you might want to consider replacing your unit, particularly if it’s approaching 10 years old. At this point, not only is your unit outdated and running less efficiently than it should, but it’s also nearing the end of its useful life.
