- Give Your Air Conditioner a Trial Run
Sometimes heating and cooling systems simply stop working while not in use. This usually happens to older systems with end-of-life issues, but it can also happen to younger systems with unresolved issues from last summer. If the system isn’t working like it should, or if it isn’t working at all, you can schedule HVAC repair and get the problem taken care of before you need actually need your air conditioner.
If your heat pump or air conditioner still works, schedule HVAC maintenance to ensure that it works efficiently. Your technician will inspect and clean the entire unit to prime it for optimal summer performance. If any existing issues or potential problems are detected, you can get air conditioner repair on the spot.
Heat pumps and air conditioners generally last from 15 to 25 years. Because AC replacement is expensive, it is common for homeowners to keep their existing units instead of replacing them. The downside is inefficiency. A new system will always be more efficient than an old one.
If your cooling costs were steadily increasing last summer, chances are good that they will increase even more this year. If your present system is losing efficiency, an air conditioner replacement can maximize indoor comfort while offsetting installation costs with lower energy bills.
