When Should I Have My AC Replaced?
The question of whether or not you are in need of an AC replacement can be tough, as it truly varies on the situation.
To make things easy, if your unit is 12 years or older, and the cost of an AC repair is more than a couple hundred dollars, you would be better off to just have your air conditioner replaced with a new one.
Old air conditioners run on Freon and this type of coolant is currently being phased out by the government and replaced by Puron, which is better for our environment. With this being said, the cost of any Freon-related repair has skyrocketed from what it used to be.
The entire United States is currently running on reserves and it will no longer be available for purchase at all after 2020.
Reasons To Replace Your Old Air Conditioner
- Increase the overall comfort of your home.
- Save money on your energy bills (high-efficient HVAC units).
- Peace of mind that comes with your new air conditioner’s warranty.

AC Replacement and Installation FAQs
When it comes to choosing whether to repair or replace your AC unit one straightforward formula you can try is this: simply multiply the age of the unit by the cost of repairs. You should replace it if the total surpasses $5,000. You should also consider replacing the air conditioner if you find yourself repairing the same system over and over. Also, when thinking about replacing your HVAC, age does matter. If your air conditioner is more than 10 years old it's probably time to replace it.

AC installation times vary based on the size and kind of unit, the intricacy of the installation, and the contractor's timetable. Residential air conditioning installations typically take between one and three days. More intricate installations, or further ducting adjustments, may cause the timetable to be extended. Your HVAC contractor can give you a more accurate quote depending on your individual situation.
When choosing a new AC unit, consider the following factors: the size of your home, which determines the required cooling capacity (measured in BTUs); energy efficiency ratings (look for units with high SEER ratings); the type of AC unit (central, ductless, window, or portable); the initial cost and long-term operating costs; the unit’s noise level; and available features such as programmable thermostats, smart home compatibility, and air quality enhancements. Additionally, consider the brand's reputation and warranty coverage, as well as the installation requirements and costs. Consulting with a professional can help ensure you choose the best unit for your needs.
The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating measures an air conditioner's cooling efficiency. It's calculated by dividing the cooling output during a typical cooling season by the total electric energy input during the same period. A higher SEER rating indicates greater efficiency.
SEER is important because:
- It helps consumers compare AC unit efficiency
- Higher SEER ratings mean lower energy consumption
- It impacts long-term operating costs
- It's used for energy regulations and rebate qualifications
- It reflects technological advancements in AC systems
