What to Consider
If you think that you should just wait for your air conditioner to break down entirely before replacing it, you are thinking about the situation all wrong. Your air conditioner is most likely to give out on you when it is working its hardest, after all. Waiting for it to fail completely puts you at risk for a period of discomfort. Instead, consider:
- Age: Is your air conditioner approaching the end of its projected lifespan? Is it beyond this lifespan? If so, now is a good time to start looking at your replacement options. It’s better to plan a system replacement than to schedule one due to a complete breakdown.
- Performance: Is your air conditioner no longer able to cool your home effectively? Has it always struggled to do so, perhaps because it actually isn’t of the right size for your home? Whatever the case, you deserve a great performance from your AC. Replacing an operational system due to poor performance quality is completely reasonable.
- Efficiency: Did you inherit a rather inefficient air conditioner with your home? Was a low-efficiency model the only one that you could really afford at the time of purchase? If so, then you may want to upgrade your air conditioner to a more efficient model, offsetting the initial expense with energy savings over time.
