While the current air conditioning system has served you well, the time may be coming to replace it. There are several signs that tend to indicate the age of having repairs done is coming to a close, and you will need to think about a new AC installation in Durham. Here are a few more common ones; if any of them are happening now, it’s time to have a word with a contractor.
If the unit seems to be running more often than in the past, that could mean it’s getting close to the end of its useful life. Pay close attention to the weather. If it’s much like it’s always been this time of year, the problem is not higher temperatures. The issue is more along the lines of a system that’s wearing out and working harder in an attempt to keep the home cool.
Even if you don’t notice any increases in the time the unit runs, do look closely at the power bill. Is it more than normal for this time of year? Assuming the weather is not unseasonably warm, it’s safe to assume that the unit is not working as efficiently as in the past. A contractor can examine the system and tell you if the cost of repairs would be close to the expense of investing in a new unit.
Last, do consider the age of the current system. If it’s getting close to the two-decade mark, the day when it finally stops running may be sooner than you think. Consider a new AC installation in Durham as a way to avoid being left in the heat at the worst possible time. As a bonus, that new unit may have some features that weren’t around when the old one was installed.
If anything seems unusual about the way your air conditioner is working, call for help. It won’t take long to determine if repairs are the way to go or if you should start looking at replacement systems.
