Summer has officially come to a close, but that warm, humid summer weather will continue to linger through the end of October. It's not too late to prep your home for the Spring and Summer of 2023. Here are some warning signs that it might be time to get a new AC unit. 

How Old Is Your AC Unit? 

The average lifespan of an AC unit is 15 years. The last thing you want to do is pour hundreds of dollars into an AC unit making its way out of your home and into the junkyard. Suppose your AC is over ten years old. In that case, you should save your money and spend it on getting the opinion of professionals like us to help you determine if it is worth repairing or replacing your older AC model. 

Is Your AC Unit Using R22? 

R22 was a refrigerant used in older AC units back in the day. As of 2022, the R22 refrigerant has been discontinued, and it is rare to find it anywhere. Even if you were to find R22, the cost of buying it would be too much to bear. 

Is Your AC Leaking? 

An AC unit leaking could signal it is time to get a new one. A leaky AC is no fun and could break you at the bank if you try to repair it. 

Is Your AC Unit Cooling Your Home Properly? 

The final sign that it's time to replace your AC unit is not having sufficient cooling around the inside of your home. Insufficient home cooling could signal that your AC unit is aging or having big troubles that will cost you a pretty penny. Save your money on repairs and get your family a brand-new AC unit that will keep you cool during hot days.
