Reasons for Air Conditioner Replacement
If your air conditioner won’t turn on at all or is hardly blowing any cold air, those are signs that it may be time to replace your air conditioner. Uneven cooling or a system that is constantly running can cause spikes in your electricity bill and general discomfort. Fante’s offers maintenance and repair services that can help extend the life of your air conditioner, but being prepared for the need to install a new air conditioner may save you more in the long run.
Air Conditioner Over 10 Years Old
Newer air conditioning systems that receive seasonal maintenance over the course of their life can usually last upward of 15 years. After around the 10-year mark, air conditioners often no longer run at peak efficiency and are likely outdated from a technological standpoint. We recommend regular maintenance because a technician can usually spot issues before they develop into a more serious problem.
Large Increase in Energy Bills
Your monthly utility bill can often reveal troubles with your air conditioning system. If you have tracked your cooling bills over the years, you’ll be able to easily see a usage pattern. Investing in a smart thermostat and applying energy-saving tips can help keep operating costs down but if your bill is suddenly higher this year, it may mean that your AC is working too hard and may need repair or replacement.
Wanting a More Efficient System
As of January 1, 2015, the federal government has mandated that all AC units have a minimum SEER rating of 14. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and is a measure of how efficient your air conditioner or heat pump is at cooling. If your system has a lower rating than that, it likely indicates that it is older and may not be efficient. The higher your SEER rating is (up for 25), the more money could save each month. If you are unsure of what your SEER rating is and would like to know, Fante’s can provide an inspection.
Constantly Needing AC Repairs
Needing air conditioner repair repeatedly over the course of your system’s lifespan is to be expected but if the repair bills are starting to pile up, it may mean that the unit is nearing the end of it’s life. If your air conditioner unit is still relatively new, it could indicate improper installation or even misuse of the system. While repairs can seem like the more affordable option in the short term, frequent repairs will end up costing you more money, time, and discomfort.
Still Using a Freon (R22) System
Freon—which goes by the technical name refrigerant R-22—has long been used in air conditioners but has since been phased out by the federal government due to the harmful effects it has on the ozone. Manufacturers stopped making R-22 in 2020, and the supply available is limited. As it continues to diminish, costs will rise, which will make it even more cost-effective to switch to a new system that uses R410A refrigerant.
Types of Air Conditioning Systems We Replace
There are a number of different cooling options for homeowners in South Jersey and Pennsylvania. In older homes that do not have ductwork, ductless mini-splits are often a practical option. If ductwork is available or can be installed, a central air conditioner or heat pump is an option. You can also add mini-splits to your existing system to achieve zoned cooling and heating. Whatever you need, Fante’s can help you stay comfortable.
Central Air Systems
Central air conditioning is the most prevalent cooling methods for homes and businesses in our region. Fante’s installs and replaces them in addition to providing maintenance and repair services.
Ductless Mini Split Systems
Often used for additions or to retrofit older structures, ductless mini-splits provide both cooling and heating. They are not only affordable but highly efficient and thus, cost-effective long term.
Geothermal Cooling
Most heat pumps are air sourced. But you can also invest in a heat pump that is ground sourced or geothermal. Geothermal heat pumps cost more upfront but are highly efficient and thus more cost-effective over the long term and better suited for harsh winters than air-sourced units.
Heat Pump Systems
Heat pump systems are similar to central air conditioning systems. The main difference is that a heat pump can essentially run in reverse and thus both heat and cool a home or business.
