We’re almost halfway through May and Spring is in full bloom in Massachusetts. Summer is right around the corner and many residents need to make sure they’re prepared for the heat. High-temperatures can make it tough for an aging A/C system to keep up so it might be time for an upgrade. Here are a few reasons why Spring is a great time to install a new A/C system.
HVAC System Warning Signs
HVAC systems are built to be durable but nothing lasts forever. An air conditioner generally has a service life of 10-12 years with proper maintenance. Here are a few warning signs to look out for if you’re wondering if it’s time to replace your A/C.
More Frequent Repairs
A system that requires more frequent maintenance may indicate that your equipment is damaged or leaking. Repair costs can quickly pile up, which makes it wise to invest in a modern energy efficient A/C system.
Utility Bills Going Up
HVAC components grow less efficient as time goes on and make your system work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. As a result, you will see higher utility bills even with the same thermostat settings. A new system will cost more up front but has the potential to save you money over the long term.
Equipment Making Strange Noises
An HVAC system should be relatively quiet so you should call a certified technician if you hear any strange screeching, squealing, banging, or grinding noises. It’s possible that there’s a minor issue that’s making the noise but it could also be a bigger problem that’s best to get taken care of quickly.
Inconsistent Temperatures
An air conditioner should be able to keep you cool during the hottest days and if it’s not able to do that; it may be a sign of trouble. Aging units often struggle to keep up with the temperature as it increases throughout the day and should be replaced if chronic uneven cooling is an issue.
