When your air conditioning stops working, your first question is usually if you should repair or replace it. Knowing when to do an air conditioning repair versus a replacement depends on several factors. Ideally, a certified member of our team will be able to best answer those questions, but here are some things that you can look at before contacting us so we can handle your air conditioning repair or replacement for you.
First, consider the age of your air conditioning unit. If you have had multiple repairs on your air conditioning unit over many years, it is time to look at the possibility of needing a replacement. Air conditioning units over 10 years old are most likely leaning toward needing a replacement. However, if your AC unit is relatively new, or this is the first time you have needed something fixed, then air conditioning repair is probably the way to go.
Other things to look at regarding air conditioning repair versus replacement are the quality of your airflow and whether that airflow is cold. While you might find that air is blowing from your air conditioning, if that air is not cooling down your home to your selected temperature, or if your electricity bill is higher than expected, your air conditioning unit is not working effectively. This is when it is time to call for air conditioning repair. However, if this is a reoccurring issue, a replacement maybe in order.
Finally, if your air conditioning is making strange or loud noises, this is a sure indication that something is wrong. With an AC inspection, we would be able to sort out if this is a situation for air conditioning repair or if you would need a replacement. However, if you hear your air conditioning making loud or strange noises, it is important to turn it off and call us immediately.
These are just a few situations that may lead you to call for air condition repair. No matter what the issue is, and for any additional questions or help in any of these areas, call our team at Custom Air and Heat Inc. today and let us help you with air conditioning repair or replacement as needed.
