About Blair’s AC Replacement

A functioning HVAC system is vital to keep the home at an enjoyable temperature and keep humidity at bay. When your unit begins to wear out, it can quickly become uncomfortable. At Blair’s Air Conditioning & Heating, we can help you replace your AC before you and your family find yourself battling the heat. Learn more about how our professional AC replacement can help you restore your home’s comfort.

Signs You Need an AC Replacement

If you aren’t sure if your unit needs to be replaced or not, we can help you spot the warning signs before it breaks down. Sometimes your HVAC might need a simple fix, and if that’s the case, you can call us to get it running again in no time. Most of the time, however, if your air conditioning system shows one or more of these signs, then it’s time for an AC replacement.

Here Are Some Typical AC Warning Signs You Can Look Out For:

Your Unit Needs Frequent and Expensive Repairs.

If your AC has been breaking down frequently it may cost less to replace it than it would be to fix it. An easy trick to determine if it’s worth fixing is to multiply the age of your unit by the cost of repair. If it exceeds $5,000, then it will be more cost-effective to replace it. For example, if your unit is eight years old, and the repairs will cost $750, multiply the numbers together and you get $6,400. That is the predicted cost of your future repairs. A better use for that money would be to invest in a new AC unit.

Your HVAC Unit is More Than 10 Years Old.

The older your AC is the more likely it will have issues. All air conditioning units have a lifespan of 8 to 12 years. Beyond that, your old AC unit could begin to wear out and cost you money with frequent repairs and higher electricity bills. If your model is past 10 years, it will be worth your time and money to invest in an AC replacement.

The Electricity Bills Are Higher Than Normal.

When considering an AC replacement, you should also consider your electricity bills. Older ACs tend to raise the cost of your electricity bill because they tend to be less efficient, while a new HVAC unit can lower costs. A way to know your unit’s efficiency is by checking its SEER rating. A SEER rating, which stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, is a measure of your HVAC system’s efficiency over a cooling season. The higher the SEER rating you have, the more efficient it will be and the more you can save on your energy bills in the long run. If you have questions regarding your equipment or current SEER ratings, call Blair’s service professionals for your answers.

The AC Unit Runs Inconsistently.

Have you noticed the temperature in your home is never as cool as you want it to be? Warm temperatures and high humidity are the first sign your unit is on its last leg. If your air conditioning turns on and off or runs constantly, it won’t be able to efficiently cool your home. It could also be a sign something else is wrong with it. For example, the AC is becoming worn out, has broken parts, is leaking refrigerant, or more. Whatever your problem may be, call Blair’s for a diagnosis or replacement.

You Hear Strange Noises.

Clunking, clanging, or any other noise than a steady hum is often a sign you need an AC replacement. The noises could be from loose or broken parts, refrigerant leaks, a faulty compressor, or electrical issues. Sometimes it could be a simple fix, but it’s more often a sign of something worse. Try turning it off and on first. If the noise continues, it’s time to call a professional.

Your Unit Has Broken or Dirty Evaporator Coils.

If you’ve noticed your air conditioning unit running inefficiently or even refusing to run at all, you could have broken and dirty condenser coils or a frozen evaporator coil. Condenser coils are releasing heat to the outside. With proper maintenance, these coils should be cleaned regularly. If not, the dirty coils can overheat your system. A frozen evaporator coil is often a result of other issues with your AC unit like poor airflow, refrigerant leaks, dirty evaporator coils, and more. If you notice issues with your coils that might be a sign that your AC is beyond repair and you need to replace it.

When you start noticing your HVAC system acting out of sorts, don’t wait until it breaks down. Contact us at Blair’s Air Conditioning & Heating for a professional evaluation.

Right AC Replacement for Your Home

How to Find the Right Unit for Your AC Replacement

Now that you know your AC needs to go, you will need to find a new unit to replace it with. There are a few things to consider when choosing a new HVAC system:

The Size of Your Home

The size of your home determines the size of your AC. If you have a larger home, you will want a larger system that can comfortably cool your home. If your air conditioning unit is too small or has a lower cooling capacity, it won’t be able to consistently keep the temperature cool or it could drive up your energy bills as it works overtime. Conversely, if you have a smaller home, a larger unit could inconsistently turn on and off, costing you more on your energy bills.

Central v. Mini-Split

There are essentially two different types of HVAC systems you can choose from to cool your home. One is a central AC and the other is ductless, also known as a mini-split. A central AC depends on an indoor unit, an outdoor unit, and ductwork to cool your home while a ductless system only has an indoor and outdoor system. Which one you choose depends on your home needs and what you want out of your air conditioner. We have several options for you to choose from for your AC replacement and we can help you find one that will suit your needs.

When in doubt, you can always ask us for a professional opinion. We can help you determine which air conditioner is right for your home’s needs.
