AC Repair vs Replacement
The timeless dilemma: Repair or replace? When it comes to maintaining your AC unit, the key factors are cost and how its age impacts performance:
0-8 Years: Given its youthful state, the unit likely has several active years left. During this phase, opting for repairs is generally more economical.
9-14 Years: As the unit begins to show its age, maintenance becomes a consideration. Consistent care might still make repairs a viable choice. Yet, if it’s been running on overdrive with scant upkeep, a new unit might be a better long-term investment.
15+ Years: Having braved the varied temperatures of Tustin (we know there isn’t much variance), your AC has seen its fair share of action. Considering its age, replacement might be a prudent choice. With older parts becoming rare, dwindling efficiency costing you more, and modern units boasting better technology, a new purchase often makes sense.
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.
DIY Tips for AC Tune Up
There are things you can also do on your end as far as HVAC tuning to extend the shelf life of your unit. Here are a couple tips from us to you:
