Do You Need a New AC Unit?

If you’re unsure as to whether or not you need a new AC unit, don’t worry- you’re not alone. Cooling systems can be tricky to understand, but here are a few tell-tale signs that it may be time for AC replacement in Norristown:

• Your AC unit is at least 15 years old: Replacing an AC unit is typically recommended every 15 years. If your AC unit falls within this age range, it may be time for a replacement. We can assess your cooling system to determine whether or not an upgrade is necessary.
• Your AC unit isn’t cooling your home like it used to: This is likely a sign that your AC unit is no longer working as efficiently as it used to and may need to be replaced. Inefficient AC units often have long run times, high energy bills, and uneven cooling.
• Your energy bills have gotten more expensive: AC units typically use a lot of energy, so it’s not unusual for your energy bills to go up during the summer months. However, if you notice a significant increase in your AC-related energy costs, it could be time for an AC replacement.
• Your AC unit breaks down all the time: AC units that often need repairs are not usually worth the hassle. Perhaps it is time to invest in a new AC unit that will have a longer lifespan and need fewer repairs. If you are unsure of whether or not your AC needs to be replaced, reach out to Green HVAC today. We will send an AC contractor to your residence to take a look.
• Your AC unit uses R-22 refrigerant: As of 2020, US production of R-22 refrigerant has ceased due to the substance’s deleterious effects on the environment. If your AC unit uses R-22, you’ll need to replace your system or alter your refrigerant.

How to Choose a New Air Conditioner 

When choosing an AC unit for your home, there are many different types to take into consideration. Not sure which air conditioner is right for you? Here are a few things to think about.

The size of your home: Air conditioners come in a variety of sizes. It’s important to choose an AC unit that’s the right size for your home, or else it won’t be able to cool your space properly.

Your budget: When choosing an AC unit, it is essential to consider price. Green HVAC can provide special financing to make the AC unit that is most suitable for your home fit your budget.

Your energy needs: AC units have varying energy requirements. If you’re interested in an AC unit that conserves energy, we can help you understand the different energy ratings and select a unit that suits your needs.
