AC Replacement Saves Consumers Money

Home / AC Replacement Saves Consumers Money

Air conditioning is accepted as a basic requirement for living in Florida during the summer’s hot, humid weather. However, older air conditioning units may no longer cool as well as they once did. Older AC units are also notoriously inefficient, and with energy costs continuing to skyrocket, those costs make using air conditioning cost prohibitive for some residents. Florida air conditioning experts can analyze a system and quickly determine if replacing an aging unit would be cost effective.

Aging air conditioning units, even though still functional, may also require frequent repairs to keep them operating at acceptable levels. Over even a couple of years, those repairs can be substantial. Many repair technicians will, once repair costs exceed a certain level, recommend AC replacement rather than continuing to repair an old, inefficient unit.

Between the lower utility costs and virtually eliminating repairs for the near future, replacing an aging air conditioning unit is often the most cost effective option. Florida air conditioning experts like Eco Air Conditioning work with clients to determine when replacing an older AC system outweighs the benefits of repairing that older unit.

When repairing or replacing an air conditioning system, ask the technician to inspect the air ducts to determine if cleaning is needed. Indoor air quality is increasingly becoming a major issue, as homes are sealed up to reduce heating and cooling costs. Dust, mites, pet dander and other contaminants freely move from one area of the home to another when ducts are not cleaned on a regular basis. In homes where residents suffer from health issues, clean air may be a critical issue. Your AC expert can see that ducts are properly cleaned and offer advice on improving indoor air quality throughout the year.

AC replacement should be strongly considered when older systems are requiring frequent repairs or when operating costs are increasing. Local experts can also discuss updating inefficient heating systems at the same time as an air conditioning system is being upgraded. Ask about the options available, and which options would be best for your home. Follow on Facebook
