When Should You Repair Your AC Unit in Cape Coral
Replacing all or part of a heating and cooling system can be a big investment. When an older unit has continuous issues or shows signs of reduced energy efficiency, it could be more economical to upgrade your home comfort system. A Tempstar dealer can help you diagnose your heating and cooling system, as well as help you choose a replacement that fits your needs and budget.

 Some reasons to repair the unit:

  • The cost of repairs is less than one-third the cost of a replacement
  • The unit is less than 10 years old
  • The unit is still under warranty (see your warranty terms)
 
Here are some reasons for replacing your heating or cooling unit:

  • The cost of repairs is near 50% of the cost of a replacement
  • The unit requires frequent repairs.
  • Humidity problems that signal operating issues
  • Warranty expirations
  • High dust and low air quality problems
  • The furnace is more than 15 years old, and the heat pump or AC is more than 10 years old
art by addressing your air conditioner's stage of life. Remember that average units have about 10 to 15 years of life in them, so if yours is anywhere close to double digits, replacement may be the better move. If age isn't a strong deciding factor, think back to how well your unit performed last summer. Constant repairs, strange noises, higher-than-normal energy bills and other performance issues should also inform your decision to repair or replace.


Look for signs of trouble when prepping for the season
If you're already thinking of summer, it's a sign that you should start prepping your AC for the season as well. Make your way down this maintenance list, keeping an eye out for issues that will need repair before the warm weather settles in. You can also perform a DIY central air conditioning checkup to make sure your unit is ready for months of delivering cool comfort.

When in doubt, err on the side of caution
Make your decision well before summer arrives. Air conditioning service providers get really busy during heat waves, making service calls to help those without cooling comfort. Plus, if you take care of it weeks ahead of the start of the summer season, all systems will be a “go” when it is time to turn the AC on.

If you think your AC unit needs some help, call your local air conditioning service provider ASAP. Seriously, pick up your phone right now. You still have time to get the best deal on a new central air system, as The Spruce notes that spring and fall are the ideal times to shop for cooling systems.

Preparation is key when it comes to AC repair or replacement. And being prepared for any home system or appliance breakdown is always a good idea. See how plans from Total
