AC Repair vs Replacement
The perennial dilemma: should you repair or replace? The best approach to AC unit maintenance often hinges on cost-effectiveness and how the unit’s age impacts its performance:
0-8 Years: Your unit is relatively young, with a good chunk of its lifespan ahead. Repairs are usually the more cost-effective option during this period.
9-14 Years: The unit starts showing signs of wear and tear. If it’s been well-maintained, repairs might still be the way to go. However, if it’s been working hard with minimal maintenance over this decade, investing in a new unit could be more economical in the long haul.
15+ Years: After facing the highs (and occasional lows) of Bellflower’s climate, your unit has certainly put in the miles. At this juncture, it might be wise to opt for a replacement. The reasons are manifold: older parts get tricky to source, the efficiency of aged units might dent your finances, and advancements in technology mean newer models often perform better.
Common Air Conditioner Problems
What can go wrong with your AC unit? Here are some useful tips on common issues that you might come across with your air conditioner.
– Uneven airflow – Probably one of the most common problems for AC units, if the air coming from your unit is weak or not cold enough, it can be a result of poor duct flow or or a clogged filter.
– Condenser not pushing hot air – If your condenser is not pushing out hot air, it is usually indicative that the unit is not cooling properly because the condenser sends hot air to the refrigerant. This issue can happen for multiple reasons such as dirty coils, refrigerant leaks, or natural wear and tear.
– Filter – A dirty filter is definitely a frequent issue that arises within most AC units. This can lead to the filter getting clogged, and is relatively easy change on your time. However, if the task can seem to daunting to you, reach out to a technician to get assistance.
