When should you replace your air conditioner?
These signs are worth checking before you decide:
- Rooms stay warm even when the AC is running.
- Repairs are becoming frequent or expensive.
- Cooling bills have risen without a change in use.
- The system is unusually noisy or keeps breaking down.
- A major repair on an older unit may cost more than it’s worth.
We assess your existing system first. If a repair is the better value, we’ll explain that too.
