Advantages of Installing a New Air Conditioner

Replacing the current air conditioner can be an expensive project, but the truth is that keeping an old air conditioner in service may be more expensive. As an air conditioner ages, it loses efficiency and requires expensive repairs that increase the monthly costs of keeping the home comfortable. With a new air conditioner, homeowners can rely on lower bills through increased efficiency and eliminating unexpected repair bills. Additionally, taking the opportunity to install a new air conditioner can allow the owner to resize the unit so it conditions the space adequately. 

Increase Energy Efficiency

Air conditioners are rated and priced by their efficiency. However, the efficiency rating is only accurate for the first few years the air conditioner is in service. As the air conditioner ages, it will lose several percentage points of efficiency every couple of years, meaning that bills will slowly creep up. This means that homeowners will pay much more while getting poorer results. When a new AC installation is scheduled, homeowners can expect bills to decrease naturally due to efficiency improvements. Homeowners can save money every month by installing a new air conditioner. 

Since owners are deciding to install a new air conditioner, why not increase the savings? The scenario above compares an older and new unit with the same efficiency rating. Why not pay extra for a highly efficient air conditioner and watch the savings compound? This will also continue to pay dividends as the unit ages and loses efficiency. Since it was more efficient, it will continue to be cheaper to operate. 

Lower Repair Costs

The great thing about a newer air conditioner is that it has a far smaller likelihood of developing problems that require repairs during the first few years of operation. The same cannot be said for air conditioners that are 15 years old or older. As the air conditioner ages, wear and tear spreads throughout the system until multiple parts fail. 

Homeowners will find themselves in the difficult position of paying for major repairs every year. These repair bills can seriously add up and put a crunch on summer budgets. Why not take advantage of a new air conditioner and get some relief from repair bills? Warranties will also be in place to make sure the owner isn’t on the hook for manufacturing problems. 

Resize the AC Unit

Over the years, many people will spend some money renovating their homes or adding square footage to their living spaces. When renovations include new insulation, windows, or additions, the load calculation on the current air conditioner can be woefully inaccurate, costing owners lots of money for long cycles. During air conditioning installation, professionals will do new load calculations and ensure that the new system will be better equipped to condition spaces that have outgrown their old air conditioner.
