Signs Your AC May Be Failing
Not sure if your system is nearing the end of its lifespan? Look for these warning signs:
- Your system is old and has already served you through many summers.
- You’ve been calling for frequent repairs and service visits.
- Energy bills are climbing higher each month, even though your usage hasn’t changed.
- Certain rooms or floors of your home never feel as cool as they should.
- The unit makes unusual noises or gives off unpleasant odors.
If several of these apply, it may be time to consider replacement.
Why July Is the Right Time to Decide
Peak Performance Season
July is when your AC works harder than at any other time of the year. If it can’t keep up now, it won’t suddenly improve later in the season.
Avoiding Breakdowns
Older systems are more likely to fail during long heat waves when they’re running constantly. Replacing before failure helps you avoid emergency calls and days without cooling.
Better Efficiency
Modern systems are designed to be far more efficient than older models. Homeowners often notice significantly lower cooling costs right away, and over the course of Virginia’s long summers, those savings add up.
Improved Comfort
Newer systems don’t just cool more effectively. They also control humidity better, run more quietly, and work seamlessly with smart thermostats for easier temperature management.
Repair or Replace: What to Consider
It’s tempting to keep making repairs, especially if the system is still running, but repairs add up quickly. At a certain point, it makes more sense to invest in a replacement that will run efficiently for years instead of sinking money into equipment that’s on its last leg.
Benefits of Replacing Now
- Lower utility bills thanks to improved efficiency
- Fewer repair calls interrupting your summer
- Increased home value and peace of mind for potential resale
- Consistent comfort no matter how high the temperatures climb
