When Is the Best Time to Install a New AC?

Finding an air conditioning (AC) unit that meets your needs is paramount to keeping your home cool and comfortable. Signs such as frequent malfunctions, inadequate cooling capacity, or an aging unit indicate it could be time for a replacement. Zion Custom Air knows the value of having reliable cooling systems. Hence, we offer expert guidance when selecting suitable units suited to each home's requirements. Our HVAC company explores signs such as ideal times for installation and different models to help make your decision for a cozy home environment!

Frequently Malfunctioning

An immediate telltale sign that it's time to replace your AC is when it begins breaking down frequently, prompting frequent repair calls from repair technicians and leading them on lengthy repair cycles. Not only is this inconvenient and costly in the long run, but investing in a new air conditioning unit will save money on costly repairs while guaranteeing a reliable cooling system.

No Longer Adequately Cooling

Signs that it may be time to replace your AC include when it's no longer providing adequate cooling for your home. If some rooms consistently remain warmer than others or your current unit struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures, this could indicate that it needs air conditioning repair or replacement - as a new AC can improve cooling efficiency and help lower energy bills!

Age

Alternatively, if your AC is over 10-15 years old, it might be time for a replacement. Air conditioning units have an expected lifespan, becoming less efficient as they age and more susceptible to breakdowns. Upgrading to a new unit not only gives peace of mind but can provide access to cutting-edge energy-efficient technology that could dramatically lower consumption while saving you money.

When To Install A New AC

Spring and autumn offer milder climates - an ideal time for air conditioner replacement as HVAC professionals tend to be less busy during these seasons, enabling easy scheduling for installation appointments at your convenience.

Installing a new AC during the off-season also enables you to avoid experiencing the discomfort and inconvenience of living without air conditioning during peak summer months. Investing in one now and getting it before the heat sets in can ensure your home remains cool and comfortable all summer.

AC Models

Your choice will depend on factors like home size, budget, and cooling needs - and may include all or any combination thereof.

Window AC Unit

First is the window AC unit, a popular choice for smaller spaces or individual rooms. These affordable and easy-to-install units can provide adequate cooling in a limited area; however, their energy consumption may differ from that of larger homes.

Split AC

Split ACs comprise two components, an indoor unit, and an outdoor unit. Split ACs are more energy-efficient than window units and provide greater cooling capacity and superior temperature control with quieter operation and greater temperature stability than window units. They're the ideal way to cool multiple rooms or large living spaces quickly and quietly.

Central AC

Central ACs provide the ultimate home cooling solution. These ACs can cool all of the rooms in your house at once while providing even temperature regulation throughout. Although more costly, central ACs offer optimal comfort and energy efficiency.
