No matter how high quality your air conditioning unit is, it will still need to be replaced eventually. Here at Humphrey Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc., we offer air conditioning replacement services for when your unit is failing to keep your home cool when it’s hot out. Going without a fully functional air conditioning unit is not something you want to put up with. We want you to recognize the signs that your unit needs to be replaced before it shuts down completely. Here are a few of those warning signs.
- It runs nonstop. Your air conditioning system is designed to run when you need cool air, not nonstop. A constantly running unit means there’s something wrong, typically something to do with the contractor. A unit that runs nonstop won’t get any time to cool down and “rest,” causing the motor to burn out. If this is the case with your system, you’ll want to hire an air conditioning replacement service before burnout occurs.
- It’s reached 10 years of age. The average lifespan of an air conditioning system is between 10 and 15 years. As systems age, their various components become worn out, and while repair services can help address normal wear and tear with age, there’s only so much that can be done when the entire system has reached the end of its life. No matter how well your system seems to be functioning, once it reaches 10 years old, you may want to start looking at replacing it.
- It’s making a lot of noise. Properly functioning air conditioning systems don’t make a lot of noise. Older, damaged systems tend to screech, rattle, click, and make other noticeable noises that indicate the system is breaking down or has severe issues. Be sure to reach out to an air conditioning replacement service if your unit is making more and more unusual noises.
