Did you know that replacing an old air conditioning unit with a newer, more energy-efficient system could save you up to 40% on cooling costs?

There are many factors to consider when deciding if it is time to upgrade your AC unit, but the general rule is to replace it if it is 10 years or older. In fact, all homeowners are advised to replace their AC system every 10 to 15 years.

Here are other signs to look out for that indicate it is time to replace your North Port AC.

Your NorthPort AC System Keeps Needing Repairs

If you are experiencing repeated issues with your North Port AC, chances are your AC unit has become less efficient over time.

You might notice that your repairs cost more than half of a new AC unit. If it is also more than a decade old, buying a new system would be a better investment than continuing to dish out money on repairs.

When you live in an area with warm weather, it’s crucial to have a reliable, great air conditioning system in your home that can keep you cool during the hottest times of the year.

Your Home Doesn’t Stay at a Consistent Temperature

An aging North Port AC unit will often have issues keeping your home at a stable temperature. This could be attributed to a thermostat issue or a unit issue.

These inconsistencies usually mean that your North Port AC unit is no longer powerful enough to supply air throughout your whole house. An upgraded, more powerful AC unit can help create a more comfortable home environment.

You Notice More Dust in Your Home

Your AC unit is not only responsible for cooling your home, but it is also responsible for maintaining proper ventilation throughout your home. If your AC unit is working as efficiently as it should, it should improve the air quality by removing dust, dirt, debris, and dander.

If you find yourself seeing more dust around your home than usual, this could be a sign that you need a new AC system that is efficient enough to take care of it.

Your Energy Bills Are Increasing

You can expect seasonal changes in your energy bills, but you should have similar bills for the same months of different years.

If you’re noticing higher energy bills than usual, the root of the issue may be your AC unit’s motor breaking down. When this occurs, your AC unit needs more energy to cool your home, resulting in higher energy costs.
