Why Get New Air Conditioner Installation

Whether you already have an air conditioner and are toying with the idea of a new one or you don’t currently have one and are considering getting one installed, here are some benefits you’ll enjoy when you choose AC installation in Chattanooga, TN.

Be Safer & More Comfortable

When temperatures rise high and humidity levels increase outside, your home should be a refuge that keeps you cool. Not only will this make you more comfortable, but you’ll also reduce the risk of heat stroke or exhaustion.

Enjoy Better Air Quality

AC systems have special filters for dust and allergens, so installing an air conditioner will lead to improved indoor air quality within your home.

Lower Your Energy Bills

If you have an older air conditioner in your home, chances are it’s not functioning efficiently. The harder it has to work to cool your home, the more money you’ll spend on energy bills while it tries to keep up. Without an AC at all, you likely are using a bunch of fans that are sapping your electricity throughout your home, also driving up your energy bills. A new, efficient air conditioning system can reduce your overall spend on utility bills.

Increase Your Home Value

You may not currently have plans to sell your home, however it never hurts to consider your home’s value. Getting a new air conditioning system installed will significantly increase the value in the minds of potential buyers in the future.

How To Tell You Need AC Replacement

Are you wondering how to tell whether or not your current air conditioner is ready to be replaced with a newer model? While AC repair is possible in some circumstances, other times it’s best to opt for new air conditioning installation.

• Old Age: Once your air conditioning system is about a decade old, you may start to see more problems. While newer models can last up to 20 years, older air conditioners have an expected lifespan of 10-12. When an AC unit is nearing its projected end of useful life, it’s time to think about getting a new one.
• Needing Lots of Repairs: Repairs can be expensive, especially if you’re needing a lot of them frequently. That’s a sign your air conditioner is no longer as effective as it used to be. A rule of thumb is that you should consider AC replacement if your air conditioner’s age multiplied by the cost of repair exceeds 5,000.
• Energy Bill Increase: If you’re not using your air conditioning system more than normal but you’re seeing a rise in the cost of your energy bills, you may be dealing with waning efficiency. Our team will help determine whether what’s causing the inefficiency can be repaired or if you need to get your air conditioning system replaced, entirely.
• Temperature Inconsistency: When your air conditioner is on and blowing air that’s not cold, that’s a sign something severe is wrong with your unit. Get in touch with us to diagnose the problem and provide you with a solution or a replacement.
• Refrigerant Discontinued: Freon (also known as R-22) was discontinued in 2020 by the United States. As such, if something goes wrong with your refrigerant you won’t be able to get it replaced. You should consider air conditioner replacement soon with a newer model if your current one uses Freon.
